Beautiful exterior! It’s like an Italian villa! There is a large guesthouse on the property. The main house was built in 1867. It is located on 5.94 acres in Amherst, Virginia. The interior left me a bit underwhelmed, but it is a pretty property. The house features a covered porch, wood floors, exposed brick, baseboards and brick flooring in the kitchen. There is a detached guesthouse and amazing views. Six bedrooms, six bathrooms and 3,565 square feet. $1,099,000
