Farms -- especially small farms -- are becoming hard to find in South
central Virginia. Many buyers have come to this area looking for
little farms of 20 or 30 acres. They have gobbled-up so many farms
that good small farms are now really scarce. In fact, it's getting harder and harder to talk the owners of large farms into selling off 20 acres with road frontage. And, getting a farmer to sell a few acres with a pond is really difficult! We've got lots of ponds and creeks, but surface water is valuable. Farm properties with water are investments because "they ain't makin' no more". (Actually, you can build a pond, but you have to have a decent creek to make it worthwhile.) Farms and farm land in this part of South central Virginia make particularly good investments because the taxes are so low. Taxes on a $200,000 farm might be as low as $1,200 per year. And, some owners are willing to give "owner finance". Please see our farm index for south central virginia farms |
