Description
60.5± acre Buckingham County property near Scottsville with a 2,000 sq ft home, 5-acre lake, tillable land, timber, a studio, high-speed fiber internet, well water, and agricultural improvements. Solitude Forest Farm is a 50± acre property located at 817 Brill Road in Scottsville, Virginia, within Buckingham County. The property combines open tillable acreage, established timber and a private five-acre lake, offering a balanced layout suitable for agricultural, recreational, and residential use. The 2,000+/square foot split-level home was constructed in 2002 and is situated on an open yard approximately 300 feet from the surrounding forest. The exterior features wood board-and-batten siding with brick accents and a standing-seam metal roof installed in 2022. Exterior wall framing consists of 2x6 construction for added insulation value. The upper level includes the main living area, primary bedroom and bath, a second bedroom, and an additional room currently used as a library. The mid-level includes a mudroom with covered porch access, a walk-in pantry, and a kitchen remodeled in 2022 with maple Kraftmaid cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, recessed lighting, quartz countertops, and a double-bowl sink. The finished walkout basement includes wood and brick interior finishes, new luxury vinyl plank flooring installed in 2024, a half bath updated with new cabinetry, granite countertop, and ceramic sink bowl, and a large laundry room. A Jotul propane stove was installed in 2024 in the basement living area. Two exterior doors provide access to a covered concrete patio. Outdoor living spaces include a 12 x 16 front deck with engineered flooring added in 2024 and a 7 x 35 screened rear porch overlooking the lake and forest. The porch offers elevated views of the water and the surrounding landscape.
A private well supplies water. An on-demand propane water heater provides continuous hot water. The property is served by underground electric service from Central Virginia Electric Cooperative and fiber-optic internet from Firefly. The home has a 24kw Generac backup generator. Verizon cell service is available. The five-acre lake serves as both a scenic feature and a practical resource. A fenced organic vegetable garden is located between the home and the pond and is irrigated from the lake via a dock-mounted water pump. Additional improvements include a masonry-and-wood studio building currently configured for pottery production, with a throwing wheel and an electric kiln. The two-room studio is heated and cooled with a mini-split system. A fenced cottage garden with raised beds is located adjacent to the studio. The land includes a mix of open acreage suitable for farming or pasture and wooded sections containing marketable timber. Agricultural outbuildings support ongoing land use.
