Peaceful country cottage ideally situated in Albemarle County, 9 miles from the historic river town of Scottsville, and only 30 minutes to all the amenities of Charlottesville. Enjoy the best of both worlds! The two bedroom home has had all major systems upgraded within the past 5 years: electric, plumbing, water heater, heat pump, soffits, fascia, gutters, bathroom, and kitchen have all been upgraded or replaced. A new well (2020) and septic system (2023) make this property independent. The property is pre-registered for Firefly Fiber and the previous renters used Century Link/Brightspeed. A large concrete pad, with its own address, offers added value. Formerly an auto shop, the thick concrete pad allows you to build to suit. Put in a car lift, or design your own home, hooking to the centrally located sewage leach field, and keeping the cottage as an in- law residence or for rental income. On 2.38 acres, there is ample room for outdoor activities, and the back left corner borders a fishing pond.
