The Old Rectory, c. 1880 ~ The quintessential late Victorian farmhouse with gothic features, lapboard siding, and a raised seam metal roof, on three parklike acres. Fabulous Blue Ridge views and a short walk to the Rapidan River. Completely updated by the current owners in keeping with its period charm. The original summer kitchen was made an addition to the house for the ideal work studio. In the Rapidan National Historic District and recognized in the National Register of Historic Places as "an important architectural element in the Gospel Hill group" of elegant dwellings constructed for clergy at the close of the 19th century. One hour from Charlottesville and under two hours from Washington.
