Former school! Near Hungry Mother State Park in Virginia. Circa 1874. $136,530

This could be a great project! The former Lands Down Schoolhouse! Not far from Hungry Mother State Park. We hiked there on one of our visits to the Stuart House in Saltville, Virginia. The school was built in 1874. It is located on .75 acres in Marion, Virginia. The school was converted to a private residence in the 1960’s. Definitely needs work, but sure would make a nice vacation spot. Three bedrooms, one bathroom and 1,517 square feet. $136,530
