Nestled in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains at 1024 Sunset Dr., Amherst, Virginia, this remarkable 125± acre property divided into 8 Tracts, features a stately 2-story brick manor home built in 1840 and so much more. Steeped in nearly two centuries of history, the 3,820-square-foot residence offers 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms within classic Federal-style architecture, featuring a columned front porch, an upper-level balcony, and quality period construction that has stood the test of time.

Beyond the historic core, this auction presents a rare opportunity to acquire up to eight total tracts spanning 125± acres in one of Amherst County's most scenic corners.
