22.5 Acres in Virginia! That Yard Looks Like Heaven! Circa 1793. $1,400,000

Two things initially stood out to me about this house – it was built in 1793 and it’s 22.5 acres. When I think about what I’d like retirement to look like, this house is it! I just imagine what it must feel like to swim in that pool around sunset. I would die extremely happy if that was my life. Going inside, you have beautiful exposed wood beams, gorgeous wide plank wood floors, and natural light that rivals anything I’ve seen in any other house.

4 Beds | 2.5 Baths | 2,900 sq ft
