79 S Powells Island Rd, Arrington, VA 22922

Riverfront Farm! Sitting proudly on the hill overlooking sunny fields and river valley, 79 South Powell Island is the quintessential small farm. History suggests the original mid 19th c. dwelling consisted of today's Dining Room and Kitchen. Wide plank floors, handsome stair, trim and historic siding remain. Added to in stages, there are now 4 bedrooms, a full bath, and a spacious living room, in addition to the dining room and kitchen. The farm buildings include a large barn, livestock shed, storage shed and what history suggests was the builder's blacksmith shop. The property includes about 10 acres open and over 800 feet of Tye River frontage. An easement to the an easy river put-in, across the neighboring property, is part of the offering. This property is worthy of renovation and will be sold strictly "as is". Enjoy the country life at 79 South Powell Island on Nelson County's fabled Tye River.
