As seen on Bacova Properties - Charming Bath County Foreclosure

Mary and I probably first got serious about buying a country property a couple of years ago, during a visit to the Homestead in Warm Springs, Bath County. We went down for a long weekend and really had a nice, relaxing Spring getaway.

Besides the hotel and a few places to eat, we enjoyed our soak at the Jefferson Pools, and thought about taking in a performance at Garth Newell but nothing was on that weekend. Golf was out of the question, hadn't brought our clubs. So we walked over into town and visited with the realtors at Bacova Properties.

After checking out some wonderful homes at good prices (compared to what we're used to here in the DC area, at least!) we decided that area is just a bit too far away to make it a comfortable place for weekending. As it is, the Hawksbill Cabin is 2 hours door to door, which is great.

I am still on the mailing list for Bacova, and the rep there, Selby Schwend, sends an update on their listings from time to time. This is the latest, a farm house on 35+ acres, listed in the mid $300's....if we were ready for retirement and full time living out there, this one might just suffice.

"Here is the "STEAL OF THE MONTH"!It is a foreclosure that we have just listed. If you ever wanted to own a piece of mountain property with a charming 1890 farm house, this could be the answer to your dream come true. The bank is doing some work on the interior so I won't have interior shots for another week or so. They are very anxious for us to find a buyer. Call me today for details or come on out for a look.Little Pond Farm21821 Sam Snead HighwayWarm Springs, VirginiaBank foreclosure forces the sale of this very charming 1890 farm house on 35.64 acres located just 9 miles north of Warm Springs just off Route 220, the Sam Snead Highway. The elevated site provides views to the northwest toward Duncan’s Knob with the property running to the top of Rocky Ridge on the western boundary to the National Forest across Route 220 on the eastern side. It is comprised primarily of woods with cleared areas around the house and in the upper portions of the property. A spring fed pond lies just below the house. The approximately 2,100 sq. ft., 2-story farm house contains 3 or 4 bedrooms with 2 full baths, kitchen, dining room, living room and a new family room addition on the southern end. There are new double paned windows throughout. There is also a bunkhouse at the rear above an old cellar that has a newly roughed in full bath, living area and double bunks. The site is served by spring water and septic and features forced air heating, baseboard heating, and 2 stone fireplaces with gas stoves. The house could use a bit of TLC to get it in tiptop shape, but at this price, with the acreage and improvements, it is an excellent buy."
