My husband and I purchased the 82 acre farm in 2018. When we bought the property, there was an outbuilding, which was possibly a hog house, a corn crib, a shed deep in the woods near the stream, and a huge barn most likely made of wood milled from the land, nailed together with hand-made nails. There was no house, and no water well has been located to this day. However, we have found artifacts that allude to the fact that "someone" resided on the farm at some point. We went to the Louisa County Courthouse in the Town of Louisa, just 4 miles up the road, and did some research to see who owned the farm in the past.
