Tucked into the Fairview community near Duffield, Virginia, this 2-bedroom cottage offers a rare blend of history, space, and potential. Built in 1900 and set on 35.64 acres, the 888-square-foot home sits in a peaceful rural setting while still benefiting from convenient access via US 23. It’s an ideal option for those who want privacy without feeling completely removed from nearby essentials.

Inside, the groundwork for renovation has already begun. New windows bring in natural light while improving energy efficiency, and updated sheetrock, insulation, and plywood flooring provide a solid starting point for further upgrades. While parts of the home remain unfinished, that flexibility allows you to design each space according to your own style—whether modern, rustic, or somewhere in between.

The kitchen and bathroom have been cleared down to the essentials, offering a blank slate for customization. Structurally, the home benefits from a durable cinder block foundation and a metal roof designed for longevity. A covered front porch adds classic charm, while the basement—equipped with a stoker furnace—adds practical value for heating and storage.

Beyond the home itself, the land is what truly sets this property apart. With over 35 acres in scenic Scott County, Virginia, there’s ample opportunity for outdoor recreation, gardening, or small-scale farming. Mature timber, local wildlife, and an outbuilding further enhance its versatility. Whether you’re looking to create a quiet homestead, a weekend retreat, or a long-term investment, this property offers the space and freedom to make it your own.
