Here, on the Orange County-Greene County line near Barboursville is a rare Virginia property featuring an unspoiled 19th century home overlooking a lovely pond and rolling, fenced pasture and hay fields. Life hasn't really changed that much once you find your way down the long driveway and come upon the home flanked by centuries old Boxwoods and shade trees. The clapboard sided home still exhibits its original three story, two over two floor plan. Though modernized with a nice kitchen and two full baths, the worn thresholds, heart pine flooring and six fireplaces exist just as they have for over 150 years. The kitchen and family room are in the walk-out English basement with two large rooms and a full bath on either side of the center hall on each of the upper two floors. The land is mostly open with a few nice copses of hardwoods along the edges. The farm has been utilized for sheep, cattle and hay production over the last several decades and is watered by a large pond and a good stream. Additional outbuildings include a period bank barn with a stone foundation, an open sided poile barn ideal for conversion into stables and two smaller equipment storage buildings. The setting for this lovely farm is entirely private and enjoys an especially quiet setting, far from any busy road. Charlottesville is less than 25 minutes south and Washington DC less than two hours north.
