Kennedy-Lunsford Farm (Boundary Increase)

This 22.736-acre addition to the Kennedy-Lunsford Farm in Raphine, Rockbridge County, Virginia, is a broad, sloping hillside of open pasture with a scattering of trees. It lies immediately north of the 139-acre farm tract registered in 1996 and connects that parcel to county road 606. The only structure on it, apart from fencing, is the driveway running from the farm house to the road. The land was part of the farm in the late 18th and early 19th centuries but was sold off during the 20th century. The present owner reacquired it in 1988 to control development and to protect access from the original farm entrance to the farm complex. Its western edge follows the historic driveway, and its northern edge is Route 606. Because the pasture looks much like the main part of the farm, it preserves the setting along the approach. The owner plans a preservation easement covering both tracts.
