Rappahannock County Administrator John McCarthy announced Tuesday that the Board of Supervisors has entered into negotiations with a purchaser for the 31-acre Aileen property in Flint Hill to build housing for the elderly.
The county bought the property—a one-time clothing factory that has not been occupied in 10 years— in 1999 for $150,000. It has been seeking a buyer for some time.
The cavernous 100,000 square foot cinder block and brick factory building, McCarthy said, is in disrepair and it is not known whether it would be retained or raised.
McCarthy said that the negotiations are in an “early stage” and he was not empowered to reveal the name of the buyer who is not a local person.
Age restricted housing is usually only available to persons 55 years of age and older, he said.
McCarthy said the discussions had not progressed to how many houses would be built, but Rappahannock’s residential zoning does not permit more than one house per acre.
