Love this! This listing includes TWO houses! Love all of the landscaping and that is a good price for this location! The main home was built in 1890. It is located on five acres in Massies Mill, Virginia. The main home needs work, but one could live in the second home while doing the necessary work. It features a covered front porch, original hardwood floors and wide baseboards. The second home on the property is so nice! It has a covered front porch, vaulted ceilings and exposed beams. All of the stonework on the property is beautiful! Wintergreen resort is right up the road! Close to breweries and wineries. The livable house has one bedroom, one bathroom and 600 square feet. $395,000

From the Zillow listing:

 

A true Nelson County gem! Stay in your adorable, refinished 1 BR, 1 BA cottage while restoring “The Lea House” to it’s original spendor. The potential here is endless. Located in Massies Mill, just a stroll away from the Tye River, is this stunning, 3256 sq. ft., majestic, 1890 Virginia Farmhouse. It will need a total rehab but still retains the hardwood flooring in much of the house as well as some handsome woodwork. The roof is new as well as the windows. There is an engineered septic system for 5 bedrooms and a very prolific well. The stonewalls and hardscaping are absolutely unparalled. There are 5 +/- acres with a fenced area for the “farm goats” and an idyllic garden spot down by the stream with cistern watering available. The yard is graced with lots of mature trees and plantings and towered over by the large, elegant magnolia in front of the home. Firefly fiber optic internet is in place. Minutes to some of the counties best orchards, Tye River fishing, Crabtree Falls and the AT for outstanding hiking. Short jaunts to world class breweries, cideries, wineries and distilleries. And Wintergree Resort is just up the road for skiing, golf and tennis. A one of a kind offering to restore to it’s former glory and make it yours!
