Stanley Acres
Located on a picturesque country road right off U.S. Route 29 between Danville & Lynchburg, Stanley Acrescaptures the true essence of Southern Virginia. Split into two parcels that make up 110.54 acres, this historic farm includes over 1,100 feet of road frontage, a main home, cabin, creeks, mature timber, rolling pastures, duck swamp, pond, and more.
Built by a locally prominent stone mason, the main home, along with the foundation of several other buildings, were constructed using natural stone sourced from the land. The main home is of the Craftsman style and has been extensively renovated by the current owners. The grounds of the main home include attractive exterior features, such as an in-ground pool and garage. The cabin also underwent exterior renovations, leaving a clean-slate interior for design flexibility.

Several outbuildings are scattered about, including an 8-stall horse barn that was previously part of a larger farming operation. Each field has its own character and story to tell, flanked by frigid streams that were once used to make moonshine.
This farm has indirect access toa well-known fishing lake, Leesville Lake,by way of a large creek extension onto the property.At times of normal or high tide, watercraft can be launched using the creek.A dry dock could also be installed out into the swamp, similar to ones seen in North Carolina's Outer Banks or South Carolina's Low Country.
Incalculable wildlife species are present here. The swamp attracts waterfowl, but also provides cover for whitetail fawns and passing through black bear. The mix of upland and bottomland habitat, in varying age classes, support turkey, squirrel, and trophy whitetail populations. Bobwhite quail can often be heard from the front porches of the main home and cabin. These species and more thrive due to the diverse mix of grasses, timber, and water resources that make this farm what it is - one of a kind!
