Presented here is a rare opportunity to acquire a historic farmstead in rural central Virginia that is sure to enchant for generations to come. Long known by locals as "the Springs", the story of this property is rooted in centuries of Morris Family ownership. It was made famous in the 1800s by the enterprising Samuel Morris who operated a successful health resort called Buckingham Springs, where guests partook in the purported healing benefits of the local mineral spring water. While the hotel and cottages are long gone, the 4-story structure known as The Morris House (c. 1810) stands renovated (2011) to modern standards, ensuring an elegant home with historic appeal and present day conveniences. There is ample room whether you enjoy a simple family meal in the spacious eat-in kitchen or entertain VIPs in the formal living spaces. Level 1 further offers a laundry room (plumbed for half bath), a full bath with walk-in shower, 3 FPs, a cozy den with built-ins, and a small home office that could serve as a first floor bedroom, if needed. The primary bedroom with gorgeous ensuite bath is located on Level 2 as are 2 generously-sized bedrooms and hall bath. Level 3 boasts a full bath and 3 bedrooms plus a big bonus room. The fully conditioned, walk-up attic on Level 4 provides for all your storage needs and would make an amazing artist's studio! Ideally situated near the end of a long, tree-lined drive in the center of 90 picturesque acres, the home's quality exterior elements (metal roofing, Hardieplank siding, & period-appropriate replacement windows) combine in a neutral color scheme for timeless appeal. The land is breathtaking with open fields, hardwoods, springs, a pond, and long frontage on the Little Willis River. While a few outbuildings & ruins remain as a nod to its bustling past, Buckingham Springs is now a private, tranquil oasis awaiting her next stewards. Come experience the serenity of this magical place and envision it as an inn, a wedding venue, an equestrian estate, or simply as your new home.
