Tucked back on 4 private acres in Rice, this 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath home lets you actually feel the quiet- morning light through the trees, room to stretch out, and a pace of life that slows down the second you pull into the driveway. Hardwood floors run underfoot through the living room and bedrooms, and a sunroom offers a bright, easy spot to start the day or unwind at the end of one. Downstairs, the expansive basement adds a full second living space, complete with its own bedroom, kitchen area, living room, and a wood stove that's ready to take the chill off a Virginia winter evening, ideal for multi-generational living, rental income, or a customized lower-level retreat.
Just minutes from Farmville's shopping, dining, Longwood University, and outdoor recreation, this property gives you the best of both worlds: the convenience of town, paired with 4 acres of genuine breathing room. The open, spacious lot invites you to dig into a garden, host a bonfire with friends, or raise animals, and a spacious workshop out back is already in place for hobbies, storage, or projects of your own.
Whether you're drawn to a project with long-term value, an investment opportunity, or a forever home you can shape into exactly what you need over time, this Prince Edward County gem offers space, character, and real potential for a buyer with vision.
