From the Zillow listing:
Rosneath Farm, Circa 1800, an iconic Albemarle County property and beautiful historic home, set on a hill overlooking Plank Rd. between Batesville and Rt 29, in North Garden, VA. The Dabney Carr House, an original 1 over 1, log and brick structure, has been expanded and modernized during the 19th, 20th and 21st centuries. The farm has been loved, cherished and occupied by the current family for 70+ years. Memories of children and grand children, running the fields on foot, on horseback and tractor drawn wagons, nights of summer breeze, fireflies and unforgettable star lit skies are among the many special moments shared. As families move on – opportunities emerge. Opportunity to develop a vision – your vision, for horses, cattle, Bed and Breakfast or perhaps a Vineyard. The land is in tax use but is not encumbered by Conservation Easement. There are multiple division rights, beautiful building sites, located in an area ripe for agritourism endeavors. A local landmark on the property is the red barn in the field. Keep your hay fresh and equipment dry. It would also be a terrific studio / workshop. The farm is a fantastic home place. Move in and relax. All the conveniences for every day.
Hot water radiator heat and central air. Two Gas log fireplaces (among 6 f/p total) bring additional warmth into the parlor and living room. Interesting period features remain intact. A cook’s kitchen to prepare fine meals. Multiple porches supply dining / entertaining options and a spot to get away. Enjoy beautiful views. Own the mountain. Over 125 acres of open fields and hardwood forest rise from the road. Trails reach the ridge, up and over Israel Mountain. Wildlife galore and great bird watching. The Boxwood garden with colorful native flowers has hosted parties, weddings and family gatherings for many generations. Two wells and an active spring serve the property (as it has for hundreds of years).
