That place seems so neat! And what a price...you couldn't get a two BR cooperative for that around here!

Debbie -- very nice -- I really like your presentation -- I love learning the history of a particular area.

Ruthmarie, Virginia is a different world isn't it! This is a wonderful property, secluded and private but close to town.Thanks for commenting.

Hi Joan, Thank you! Appomattox is a fascinating town. There is so much Civil War history in this area. Since it's so close to Lynchburg, all of the school kids go on field trips to the National Park.

This would be like owning a honest to goodness piece of American history. Such historic a setting, I hope whoever buys it is conscious and respectful of the history. Appomattox, the Civil War, slavery such important, if painful parts of our history.

Very true, there sure is a lot of History to see. That has to do with the War for Southern Independence. I sure do hope the folk's that do buy this here fine place, knows it's an honor to own such a peace of Southern History.

Rich, the current owners have a lot of photo's and information on the original owners, a photo of the original cabin and I'll be scanning the materials for interested buyers. I know the seller has a lot of respect for the history of this property and they are hoping someone who's interested in the history will be the buyer.

OH WOW!! I had to read that price twice. That is an amazing place. I'd love to buy a place like that and have horses and goats. One day...maybe! GBU, Debbie!

Hi Dale, This is a beautiful farm, I love all of the outbuildings, it's a very charming setting. Neighbors are close by but it's very private. I'd love to see a family buy this place and raise horses. Thanks for stopping by.

Hi Elizabeth, I know, the prices are shocking aren't they? This part of Virginia is such a great value. I haven't walked down to the creek but I imagine it would be a nice picnic spot. Thanks for commenting!
