She explained in a later interview: “I don’t want Rappahannock County to become a Sterling Park. I don’t want this area to be cookie-cutter houses.”
While she acknowledged “we need houses in the community,” she felt they should be built to “enlarge around the villages to enhance the villages” and preserve the open land in the county.
The provisions of the easement will severely limit future development of the property and preserve the historic homestead — a familiar and beloved Rappahannock County landmark — which includes the main house, three brick former slave quarters, and several outbuildings.
According to the VOF, the Ben Venue house and related buildings constitute an important historical property, recognized as an outstanding example of an early 19th century Piedmont farmstead. It is listed on the Virginia Landmarks Register and National Register of Historic Places.
The easement will protect the scenic views enjoyed by the public along U. S. 211 and Route 729, and prevent development on Meetinghouse Mountain.
