House Porn of the Day - Virginia



Two houses, 110 acres, a massive modern outbuilding, and a Richard Gere story for $700,000
Centered on this grand 110 acre estate for sale in Prince Edward Co is the beautiful circa 1800 brick two-story home with 6,228 square feet offering lots of living space with 6-bedrooms, 4- full baths and 2-half baths. Relax and let the stress fall away as you sit in rocking chairs along this elegant front porch with magnificent columns, overlooking the scenic pond. Tasteful & spacious modern additions can be found in this home, but much of the historic character remains. In the stately dining room one will find beautiful crown moulding, arched windows, wainscoting, and formal mantel with bookcases on each side. The first floor master suite includes a large walk-in closet and elegant luxury bath. Some of the other bedrooms give one a glimpse of the past with their formal mantels, wainscoting and moulding. The sunroom offers an excellent place to relax while gazing out at the scenic backyard. But the crown jewel of this home is the library with beautiful wood paneled walls, built-in bookcases, and gorgeous mantel all refurbished and imported from the 19th century Lloyd’s of London office. The home is breathtaking but the wonders of this property don’t end there. This estate also includes a 3-bedroom guest cottage ideal for rental income or your extended family. Entertain your guests with the in-ground pool and hot-tub on the back patio of the main house. There is a good size storage building and a whole house generator. Last but certainly not least is the large 4-bay shop (80'x 110' ) with electric and water, the perfect place for your antique car collection. Also of note, this home was the short-term residence of Richard Gere while he was here for the filming of Summersby.

Dear Patrick,
If Richard Gere stayed here during Sommersby he had a hell of commute to Bath and (briefly) Rockbridge County where it was filmed. I nonstarred in the film.

Cheap house though.

My guess is that "short term redidence" may be a slight overstatement. Probably a single night and no meals on one an away shoot. I am not sure if I ever saw this movie. Pretty sure I saw "Martin Guerre," which it is an adaptation. Time for Net Flicks as this is a movie the wife would like!
