Description

This is an MLS listing, meaning the property is represented by a real estate broker, who has contracted with the home owner to sell the home.

This listing is NOT a foreclosure. Just like Old Rag Mountain, the historic Belle Meade Schoolhouse is an iconic part of the scenic F. T. Valley. Located just south of Sperryville, this spectacular building has graced the valley for about 110 years. What an incredible opportunity to own a piece of Rappahannock history.nThe schoolhouse was built in 1914 and served as a school until it closed in the late 1950s. The Francis Thornton Valley Road was changed over the decades and eventually the schoolhouse was too close to the road. The current owner bought it in 1998 and undertook the massive project of building a new foundation away from the road, moving the structure onto the foundation, and renovating. After 20 years as Belle Meade School, this historic structure is now ready to begin its next chapter.nThe schoolhouse is 5,231 sq.ft. of soaring ceilings, tall windows, and bright, airy spaces. The hallway upstairs has a clerestory cupola that invites in even more light. There are 4 large classrooms on the main level and 2 bathrooms. The original chalkboards are still in use and the wood floors are stunning. The classrooms on the west side have double doors leading out to the large back deck that overlooks the garden and mountains.nThe lower level opens to a huge room that has seen many school plays and even a wedding reception or two. Tables, seating and linens for 100, and dishes, glasses and flatware for 75 can be included with the sale. This room has multiple doors to the outside patios and large closets.nJust
