Pottery studio and house for sale in Nelson County, Virginia

We have decided to sell our Nelson County, Virginia property at 221 Pottery Lane, and I’m trying to spread the word among potters as the sale includes two wonderful car kilns built by Donovan Palmquist of Master Kiln Builders, plus a great setup for teaching and retail sales.  We have consulted with a friend who is a realtor, and who will list the place for us if I can’t find a potter to buy it.  The place is 28 acres (more or less, depending on how the river has moved) almost all of it is a big open field with the Rockfish River as its bottom edge.  There is a great swimming hole and a rookery of great blue herons.  It’s a lovely spot near the Blue Ridge Mountains.
The house is a passive-solar design called an envelope house.  It’s about 2200 square feet and has three bedrooms, two and a half bathrooms, plus living room, kitchen and upstairs office/den.  We built it in 1982.  It’s full of wonderful woodworking — cherry, walnut, mahogany.  We built the studio in 1977.  It has two rooms, plus a bathroom and loft area, and is about 900 square feet.  There’s also a large kiln shed, connected to the studio by a ramp.
There are some nice photos of the house at www.houseonpotterylane.com — a website we put together for our AirBnB and VRBO rental of the place.  If you know of anyone who might be interested, please send them to me at Nan@NanRothwellPottery.com.

We sold the place in October of 2016
