It’s Under $100K Sunday.

Backing up to the Blue Ridge Parkway, this c. 1890 fixer upper farmhouses offers 10.57 acres, spring and springhouse. Springhouses were valuable additions to farmsteads back in the day. The spring house, usually built of stone, was traditionally situated directly over the spring. It served as a cover, protecting the water from dirt, leaves, livestock, etc. Before wells were dug, the spring was also served as the household’s water source.

The fixer upper needs work, but is livable. We owned an old farmhouse back in the 1980s that had a spring in the basement. A sump pump works, but you always need a back up ready to go in case the first one dies. And if at all possible, don’t have your mechanicals down in the basement. Ours, plus our washer and dryer,  were built on platforms, but I remember the day I had to call my husband home from work because the basement was flooding.
