Oh my! “Pipe-In-Tree”, Circa 1893. On 8 waterfront acres in Virginia. $1,180,000

December 10, 2020

This is quite an estate! From the long drive up to it, to the waterfront! I would always be in that swing or on the back porch overlooking the water. “Pipe-In-Tree” was built in 1893. It is located on eight waterfront acres in Hartfield, Virginia. The home is situated on the banks of the Piankatank River. The home has huge wrap around porches, multiple outbuildings, herb hardens, and a cute little guest cottage! The interior features original hardwood floors, a gorgeous walnut staircase, bead board ceilings, and nice double front doors. I think in one picture I am seeing a vintage icebox? Six bedrooms, four bathrooms, and 4,332 square feet. $1,180,000
