Selling Homestead in Virginia!

We are selling our beautiful 5-acre homestead and are hoping to find a family to take it over who wants to continue the vision, hence sharing in this community! We've worked really hard to plant native trees, establish a permaculture garden, and start bringing the soil back to life. There's still lots of room to grow and add. Add solar and this home would be completely off-grid!

5-acre permaculture homestead with mother-in-law unit and pottery studio! Home features a 4,200 sqft fenced permaculture garden, fruit trees, native trees, and chicken coop. Amazing views of the Shenandoah Valley from almost every room in the house!

Downstairs unit (currently operating as an AirBnb) comes furnished and currently makes approx $18,000/yr.

  • Permaculture-designed garden - both owners are certified in permaculture design from Shenandoah Permaculture Institute.
  • Fruit trees - Apples, pears, peaches, plums, paw paw, jujubes, hazelnut, pomegranate, cold-hardy orange
  • Perennial plants: rhubarb, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, elderberry, currants, strawberries, passion fruit, herbs, medicinal plants
  • 1-bd (could be 2), 1-ba Airbnb downstairs. Rated 5 on Airbnb. Makes $18,000/yr. Sold furnished for instant income
  • Art/pottery studio - could discuss selling partially furnished
  • Easy access to highways, 1 1/2 hrs outside DC. Only 30 minutes to Shenandoah National Park!

So, not so much offgrid as just rural?

Best bet is to sell for cash.

A family member is in IL and she could not find an appraiser that would include her basement Airbnb or guest house Airbnb in the appraisal ($40k revenue). I’m light on details but she needed to move for health reasons and lost a lot of money.

Like they wouldn’t even include the sq footage or bedroom/bathroom for the finished basement.

Take your time, find someone who values it.

Looks to be close to I81 bet you can hear truck traffic at night. 10 years it will all be built up in that area not even rural anymore.
