This is a quaint looking farm house. It is surrounded by the George Washington National Forest. The house is just minutes from the West Virginia border. The house was built in 1900. It is located on 19.2 acres in Covington, Virginia. The house could use some work, not a fan of the kitchen, but it has a lot of potential. There are wood floors, a covered front porch and multiple outbuildings. Just cleaning the house out would go a long way. Four bedrooms, two bathrooms and 2,388 square feet. $375,000
