12786 Friendship Rd, Chilhowie, VA – $286,000 $195,000

I want! I want! I want! Built in 1765 by Colonel Patton (a Google search of Colonel James Patton results in interesting info), as a home and fortress against Indians. Three stories with four huge fireplaces. All original doors, floors, walls, fireplaces.

I originally posted this back in May ‘09. They finally put up some bigger and more pics of the house and reduced the price. Decided to bring this one up a notch to reintroduce it to you folks. 3 beds, 2.5 baths, 2934 square feet. I think this is the street view. Looks country to me. I could retire here…in 50 or so years.
