The estate has also been splintered into two additional parcels, which are both being auctioned now.
There is a tennis/gym facility on seven acres (3455 Old Lynchburg Rd with a 2022 tax assessment of $447,500) along with a third parcel – a 1.5-acre wooded lot (Parcel 108A Old Lynchburg Rd with a 2022 tax assessment of $60,700).
The 7,800 square foot tennis facility is being marketed as a multi-use building. It is located on roughly 7 acres and is hidden in the woods across the street from 3470 Old Lynchburg Road. The tennis facility is being marketed as a versatile space that can be utilized in its current form or as an event space, office space, heavy-equipment storage facility or as a garage for a trophy car collection. This building is equipped with a roughly 12×12 overhead drive-in door.
