Own 111+ acres with creeks and possible mountain/ridge views. Land is nearly level to gently rolling with multiple building sites and division rights. Agricultural zoning permits farm animals and has no restrictions; enjoy recreationally for hunting, hiking, ATV, etc… Additional bonus is a long driveway leading to a non-cookie cutter home built in 1982 with 2047 sq ft with great privacy, open flow, 2 possible bedrooms, 1 bath, stone fireplace/woodstove, well, and septic; livable but needs TLC and thus sold as-is with value placed on land and not the home. The land will be timbered except for 2 acres around the home. Easy commute to Lynchburg or Charlottesville; only 4.5 miles to Rt 29 and Blue Ridge Medical Center
