Peaceful pastoral privacy about 4 hours South
of
Washington, DC in
Southern Virginia.
Recent change in this listing:
The owner is now offering this antebellum
plantation
("West Hill") as
two separate tracts
separated by a state-maintained asphalt
road.
The home and 40 acres are on the West
side
of the
road and the other 513 acres are on the
East side of the
road. There's a 3-bedroom
brick rancher on the 513-acre
tract.
West Hill is situated on the Appomattox River in
Cumberland
County near Farmville, the future
equestrian center of Southern
Virginia. There is easy
access by good highways (US 460, US 60, US 360)
and by private plane at Farmville Regional Airport
with its 4200-foot
tarmac. (With an appointment,
you can fly-in and we’ll pick you
up.)
The home rests on a knoll overlooking a large pond
and 40 acres. There
are several other buildings
with it including a 3-bedroom guest house
and a
separate 2-story building known as the artist’s
studio. It is very private. It sets back about 1000
feet from the quiet country road in front.
Then, on the other side of the road, there is #03770,
a small
brick rancher and
approximately 513 acres of
crop
land, bottom
land, and forest with nearly a mile
of
frontage on
the
50-feet wide Appomattox River.
The
river
frontage offers several superb
home sites.
The main house is a two-story “L” shaped frame
home with nearly 4000 square feet of living space,
large rooms, 11.5-foot
ceilings, and 7 non-working
fireplaces. It has an English basement. It was
originally built as
an “I” shaped house (2 rooms
over 2 with generous foyers), but was soon
expanded into an “L” shape. Much later, probably
within the last 50
years, another expansion added a
den with a wet-bar on the ground floor
and, above
it, a master bedroom on the second floor.
