About This Home

242 acres of natural beauty, two ponds, Bush River frontage, and a home built for gathering—this Rice, VA retreat is the ultimate canvas for your biggest dreams. Whether you're envisioning a family farm, a recreational getaway, or a multi-generational haven, this property offers it all. The spacious home welcomes you with a wide front porch—perfect for morning coffee or evening conversation. Inside, the main level features multiple living spaces: a family room, living room, game room, formal dining area, and a chef’s kitchen with a large center island, 6-burner gas stove, beautiful countertops, and a charming window seat. Upstairs, you'll find the primary suite with a luxurious bath—featuring a walk-in shower, soaking tub, washer and dryer, and private deck access. Three additional bedrooms and a bonus room (accessed through bedroom four) offer flexible space for work, guests, or play. The bonus room even has its own deck overlooking the pond.
The partially finished basement offers generous storage and walk-out access to the backyard. Step outside to entertain on the deck off the game room or explore the land’s many highlights—two ponds for swimming, fishing, or canoeing, trails throughout the property, and long stretches of riverfront wetlands ideal for wildlife observation. The land is divided into six tax parcels, offering potential for subdivision or investment. Mature stands of timber enhance both the privacy and long-term value. You'll also find two vintage homes ready for renovation, multiple outbuildings for storage or projects, and a garage—perfect for antique cars or farm equipment.
