Price: $169,000
Listed on: Zillow
Location: 50 Old Preston Rd, Martinsville, VA 24112

Set on approximately 6 peaceful acres, this 1950-built home offers a rare combination of space, privacy, and potential. Tucked into a quiet rural setting, it delivers the kind of lifestyle more people are searching for—whether that’s a private homestead, a weekend escape, or a long-term investment opportunity.

The home offers 1,008 square feet of living space with three bedrooms, one bath, a living room, a den, and a generously sized kitchen with plenty of cabinetry and workspace. The interior reflects its original era and will need updating—but that’s where the real opportunity comes in. This is a property you can shape to your vision, rather than paying for someone else’s.

A covered front porch runs along the front of the home, creating a perfect place to relax and take in the surrounding landscape. Outside, the acreage opens up endless possibilities—from gardening and small-scale farming to outdoor entertaining or simply enjoying the peace and privacy of the setting.

Key upgrades are already in place where they matter most. A new septic system installed in 2025 offers long-term peace of mind, while vinyl siding and a durable metal roof help keep exterior maintenance low. Several outbuildings are also included, providing flexible space for storage, workshop use, or future projects.

Additional functionality comes from the dirt cellar, which houses essential systems such as the water heater, heating unit, well pressure tank, and breaker box.

Conveniently located near Blue Ridge Regional Airport and the Spencer-Penn Centre, the property strikes a balance between rural privacy and accessibility—close enough to everyday needs, yet far enough to feel like your own private retreat.

This is not a polished, turnkey property—and that’s the point. It’s a chance to own land, build equity, and create something that fits your vision.

Property is being sold as-is. Buyer to verify all information to their satisfaction.
