192 Opus Lane , Amherst, VA 24521(Amherst County)

The property fronts the state road and could potentially be subdivided. As you head north from Lynchburg, you find yourself higher up on the mountain and there's a lot more privacy. The entrance to this is a little gravel road with a gate that winds around over the hill until the pond comes into view through the trees. A neatly stacked rock wall greets you as you arrive at the first home. It is a two-story wood-sided chalet on a full walkout basement with a woodstove below and a rock fireplace in the great room. The back deck is up on the hill and the front deck looks out over the waterfront with a gorgeous view. It has two bedrooms, a full bathroom, and a good size kitchen.

As you continue around the pond toward 231 Opus Lane, the second house, you realize that this 93 acres is a giant bowl with gently sloping sides on the top of the mountain. This house is a log cabin with a large lean-to behind it and a covered porch on the front. It has a huge rock fireplace in the great room, kitchen adjoining, and a loft overlooking the rustic interior. This home has three bedrooms, a full bathroom, and beautiful hardwood floors. It also has a barn and another large outbuilding nearby.

You drive across the stream that feeds into the pond as you drive toward 225 Opus Lane, the last house. It's a trim A-frame with a front porch that has the money view looking out over the pond with tall trees all around. A massive brick fireplace and a beautiful loft up above the great room are perfect complements to the vision you're starting to get for this property. It needs repairs: new roofs, replacement AC units, kitchen tops and appliances, flooring, paint, general fix-up. But with a budget of up to several hundred thousand this could be a real showplace.
