This is a 100 year old farmhouse which is a work in progress. It sits on 2 acres off Highway 360 in a town called Village in what is called the Northern Neck, Virginia. It is about 65 miles east of Richmond. About the same north of Williamsburg. It is approximately an hour &1/2 to Richmond's Airport (RIC) It is about 3 hours south of Washington D.C. This two story home boasts huge rooms, a front porch, and a wraparound porch off the back deck. There is a 60'windmill which is set up right over the well. The date on the base is 1900. We have not used it for water , but many an interested person has stopped, wishing to take it off our hands. It is such a statement and we can not imagine the house without it. It is such a presence of a kinder and gentler pastural time. The house gets water from Aqua, VA. Inc. / a local deep water artisian well. Also outside is the original outdoor kitchen, a smokehouse, a corncrib, two covered garages , an eight bay barn with loft, potting shed, and chicken coop. The property is covered with apple trees, pecan, black walnut and wild cherry trees. Flowering dogwoods burst into pink blossom religiously every Spring and arch the entrance to the front door. Hydrangas and rhododendrens also abound. There is a boxwood (secret) garden that is as old as the house, as is most of the garden which makes this such a Victorian fantasy. It is adjoined to a springfed little pond. New shingle roof July 2015 Gas heat provided by Amerigas. Fireplace with gas logs. Napolean gas stoves in kitchen & dining room This property is zoned for a boatbuilders business. It would be an ideal location for a bed and breakfast; the area is steeped in history; the rooms are spacious and there is an 80 foot solid wooden sailboat the owner built and brought from England 30 years ago sitting on the Yeocomico River, a tributary of the Potomac. The boat would be such an extraordinary addition to a B&B. This is Rivah Country! The Chesapeake is only about 3 miles out. The beautiful Eastern Shore of Maryland is closer by water than car. The price of the boat is not included in this listing but definitely negotiable to a prospective Buyer who might embrace this as a business/lifestyle opportunity.
