Orchardside - This versatile property boasts a lovely two story, turn-of-the century farmhouse - carefully remodeled - with adjacent 2 bedroom bunkhouse, a detached office/studio and detached converted barn suitable for a cottage business or another living accommodation. Otts Creek runs through this pastoral acreage with a watered, south-facing old berry orchard on the hill behind the house and ample, level acreage in front. This property is perfect for an event venue, complete with outside electric hook-ups, or for a family vacation spot. Only your imagination limits the possibilities. Near the Rockbridge Vineyard, Wades Mill, and the old Buffalo Springs Herb Farm. Orchardside is one of a kind!
