Located in the town of Amherst is the historic Farmers Exchange, also known as the Planters Warehouse in the 1800's. It is situated on 6 acres of industrial/commercial space waiting for the rest of its story to unfold! Included in this parcel is a small (40x40) home, many metal outbuildings, and a large warehouse. This historic warehouse has 16 inch thick brick walls! The Commonwealth of Virginia housed Tobacco here and transported it through the railroad adjacent to the property. This property was later owned by a civil construction company. The Historic Tobacco Auction house is nearly 16,000 square feet of open space, situated on two floors. The outbuildings would make great storage space, or ideal for an event venue! Rutledge Creek runs through the lower level of the property. It would be suitable for solar, due to orientation. The location could be a dream for permaculture and would love to return back to its roots!
