WIN II i vi n ZEN HUN,
WOULD sell a very valuable and desirable FARM,
1 tno humhug here-com- aud see,l containing about
$50 acres, lying on the Southeast side of The Southwest
Mountain. This tract is beautifully supplied with pure
running water in every field, having a branch running
through The whole extent Of il, which givesa good deal
OF fiat land, suitable for 4 meadow say fifty or sixty
acres,-seven of which are already IN Grass.
This farm Is beautifully located, with u delightful
mountain scenery, and an Eastern and South eastern
landscape, extending fur beyond the vision Of the eye.
The neighborhood affords the best OF society, and from
the purity Of the mountain air and "ldtroods" breezes,
Is unsurpassed in healthfulness by any section Of the
State, not one case Of fever having occurred-that was
contracted here-since my residence In II of nine years.
This farm lies within three and a half miles Of Char
loltesville, one mite OF Monticelio-in full view-one OF
the Shadwell Mills on the Rivanno. Canal, about one Of
the contemplated ruilroad to Charlottesville, and two
miles and a half OF North Milton Mills.
About $50 acres are cleared, and the greater part of
the balance is mountain land of excellent quality, and
heavily timbered-the wood alone (s,anding and uncut
by mel is Of equal value with that on adjoining land ST.
milarly timbered, which has averaged fifty or sixty dol
las per acre, sold on the place to citizens Of Charlottes-
Vile fts Ere wood. The cleared portion, running back
from lln fpot OF The mountain, embraces nine tenihs OF
the open lane, gently rolling with q Southern slope
leaving about forty acres Of cleared land of fine quality
and easily cultivated. In fact, the whole Of the cleared
land is IN excellent hen-t and in fine farming condition;
and think, without the fear of contradiction, has
within 8 orr years undergone thr most rapid improve
ment Of any farm OF The same size in lhr county-whicli
has been done principally with clover and plaster, act
Ing finely on the land
The improvements are all nearly new, and in good
condition-the dwelling Is of brick, having two parti'
Goes, one porch, Ten rooms above the cellar story, a large
passage, two stair cases, lone private, five rooms in the
cellar, and II passase--as dining, store, lumber room,
Office, &C. A pump of excelien, water, slightly Cha
lybeate, is in the yard. and two or three springs Of fine
water within $50 yards OF the dwelling, and half the
distance of the outer buildings. These are 4 kitchen
50 feet by Ia, a large smoke house, negro cabins, over
seer's house, ice house-with a work shop and other
conveniences attached-a large stable and barn, with a
cellar below and n machine shelter attached, Including
one of Mr.. Sneed's excellent threshing machines,) and
d VINEYARD, with q house % feet BY l6, having n cellar
below-ali OF which buildings are Of brick, well ar
ranged, with an eye to taste, convenience, &C. | have
also lately put up a new carriage house, and am now
building house 80 feet by l6, for plantation tools, wa
CONS, &c. These are of wood. There Is also a large log
tobacco house for curing and stripping. To crown all,
u substantial stone fence nearly encloses the farm.
twill readily he perceived, by any one wishing to
purchase, that the improvements are sufficiently large
and numerous for the wants and convenience Of any
sized family, without mourning the expense Of any ad-
dilional building whatever. WIN. u. PHILLIPS.
