From the Zillow listing:

 

Rare legacy river property features 10.48 acres with over one-tenth of a mile of pristine frontage on the Maury River, a stately 1829 Federal brick residence with 20th century addition awaiting restoration, and a pond with a diversity of wildlife. Tucked away at the end of a state-maintained road, this ultra-private setting offers unparalleled natural beauty and history among highly coveted water features. Available for only the third time in its nearly 200-year history, the ”Barton Lindsay Farm” has many irreplaceable original architectural details intact including the year built, ”1829”, laid into the brick facade, a molded brick cornice, thick pine floors, wainscoting and paneling, and tall, decorative mantels. Outside features include period outbuildings, an open meadow, garden space, and woods. Protected by conservation easement and offered in “as is” condition, the property is ideally located less than 10 miles from historic Lexington, the Virginia Horse Center, Washington and Lee University, and Virginia Military Institute.
