Situated in the rural Sparta area of Caroline County, this 29.81 acre farm offers an opportunity to enjoy country living surrounded by farmland, woods, and abundant wildlife. The acreage, confirmed by survey, consists of a spacious yard, cropland, wooded acreage, and a stream/swamp boundary that provides natural beauty and privacy. Long frontage on a state-maintained road and scenic views of neighboring farms add to the property's appeal. The farmhouse, constructed circa 1925, contains approximately 1,528 square feet and features 3 bedrooms, 1 bath, foyer, living room, dining room, eat-in kitchen, and utility room. An open front porch and screened rear porch provide great spaces to relax and enjoy the peaceful surroundings. Original character remains throughout, including plaster walls and the traditional floor plan common in older farmhouses. Recent improvements include a newer roof, composite front porch decking, and updated 200-amp electrical service. Heating is provided by oil-fired forced-air circulator units and supplemental space heaters, while window A/C units provide cooling. The property is served by a shallow well and private septic system. The home offers an excellent opportunity for someone looking to update and personalize a classic country farmhouse while enjoying nearly 30 acres of rural Virginia countryside. Whether you're seeking a small farm, hunting property, recreational retreat, or primary residence, this property offers plenty of potential in a peaceful setting well removed from the hustle and bustle of city life. Property is being sold "AS-IS."
