About this home

-Open House 8/1 11:00-1:00- This charming 1920s farmhouse offers a rare blend of privacy, versatility, and proximity to town. Set on 7.9 private acres across two parcels being sold together, the property is a homesteaders paradise —whether you envision a small farm, a peaceful retreat, or a future family compound. Equestrian and hobby farm enthusiasts will appreciate the 3-stall horse barn and fully fenced livestock paddock, currently home to Mangalica pigs and Nigerian dwarf goats. The additional lot provides flexibility to sell, build, or expand to suit your long-term plans. A spacious circular driveway welcomes you home, offering ample room for guests, equipment, or recreational vehicles. Despite the serene, tucked-away setting, you’re just about a mile from downtown Scottsville, with easy access to local dining, shopping, the James River, and scenic hiking trails. The land itself is a highlight, featuring mature pear trees, mulberry trees, and abundant wildlife. The current owners cherish the property’s quiet, natural beauty and sense of seclusion—qualities that are increasingly hard to find so close to town. Opportunities like this—combining acreage, privacy, and convenience—are truly rare.
