Circa 1842 restored Quaker built Mint House on almost 40 acres with cottage, barn, fishing pond and mountain views. Originally named "Paradise" the property was deeded in 1849 by heirs of Isaac Hite to Samuel C Richardson. There are two large fenced fields of open pasture and almost 17 acres of wooded paths with a camping area and fire pits. This is the perfect country home or retreat with easy access to commute. Comcast/Xfinity Cable service available. The four acre deep water stocked pond has a dock on the east side of the property while a running mountain stream borders the west side. The fields are perfect for either vineyards, raising livestock, or both. A Virginia Tech soil study verified the potential for a vineyard with both fields testing affirmative for premium grapes. .Gourmet kitchen with granite, custom cabinets and wine fridge. Large living room, several working fireplaces, a second story balcony and so much charm of yesteryear. Views of Signal Knob and a proximity to George Washington National Forest. In conservation easement and can not be subdivided. Ownership not "fee simple" but conservation. It was on the Virginia historic house tour in the 1970s. See documents in MLS. Easy to show.
