Graciously situated in the middle of a 45 acre parcel surrounded by gardens, fruit trees and pasture - all of which is buffered by woods. This quaint Southern Albemarle County farm will make its new owner an excellent home for self-sufficient full-time living or a vacation retreat. The Bishop Place is a fine example of a sturdy, rustic, antique country home in a very private setting. The current owners have owned this property since 1984 - landscaping, gardening, utilizing timber from the property for the completion of their unique home, and molding it into a small family farm (no livestock though wildlife abounds). Roughly 12-15 acres are open with gardens, fruit trees, and pasture. The remaining parcel is wooded with a variety of hardwoods, pines and cedar. There is a bold stream that runs year-round in an area where a 5-7 acre pond may be built relatively easily. Approximately 35 acres have been fenced; property lines are well demarcated. Parcel could be developed into a fine southern Albemarle horse property. Three family division rights remain though this should be verified with the County. There is no central AC or heat as it has been designed for passive solar and wood burning warmth. A liquid propane heater serves as a heat supplement. A central heat & cooling system and other upgrades can be made according to the new owners' desires. Self-described by the owners as a work-in-progress, this unique antique home is offered "as is" with no apologies. This property awaits the right owner who wants a solid home in private surroundings with a vision to create the farm of their dreams. Adjoining 57 acre parcel also on the market.
