The home, built in the mid- 1700s, sits on 400 acres fronting on the James River. It has 35 rooms. The property is about eight miles from Williamsburg on U.S. 60. Colonial Williamsburg officials will work with the National Trust for Historic Preservation and the state Department of Historic Resources to assure that the property will be fully protected when offered for sale."
