If you read the sign on the porch, there is an old family cemetery on the property, as well as graves of enslaved people. But someone sure has done a disservice to this historic house. Hopefully someone can rescue it. The seller will do owner financing. The Locust was built in 1866. It is located on 20.28 acres in Goode, Virginia. There appears to be multiple buildings on the property. This is one of those houses where it has been muddled up so much that it’s hard to know where to start. Would be good to undo the renovations. Three bedrooms, two bathrooms and 4,314 square feet. $475,000
