Looking for your “main character era” property? This is it. Just 8 minutes from the future Kalahari Resort — one of Virginia’s biggest upcoming destinations expected to bring major tourism, jobs, and investment to the area — this property sits in the perfect sweet spot for a primary residence, Airbnb opportunity, or long-term investment play. You get the best of both worlds here: 3 flat, usable acres with privacy and space to breathe, while still being less than 10 minutes to I-95, Starbucks runs, shopping, and everyday conveniences. It’s giving “country roads with city convenience.” Enjoy the orchard, raise your own chickens, have the boys over for backyard football games and bonfires, or just enjoy a night under the stars. Endless options all easily within distance to hop on 95 or grab a marg at Poco Loco with some friends. The home itself offers comfortable one-level living with room to make it your own, but the real value is in the flexibility and future potential. Multiple outbuildings create opportunities for a workshop, studio space, storage, or even a future guest suite or additional dwelling unit (buyer to verify). Trails throughout the property lead to a secluded firepit for gatherings with all your favorite people. There’s also potential to add another bathroom and increase value over time. Low taxes. Affordable price point. Land. Location. Future upside. In this market? That combination is getting harder and harder to find. Everyone says “buy dirt” — but these days, actually finding affordable USABLE land with this much potential that is this close to major growth and convenience feels almost impossible. Whether you’re trying to house hack, build a short-term rental portfolio, escape HOA life, or just finally own a little piece of land without being an hour from civilization — this property makes sense. At this price point, this one feels a little like finding “the 1.” (Some photos have been virtually staged to illustrate the property's potential.

Roam is your trusted partner for affordable home ownership. We help manage the assumption process from start to finish, enabling homebuyers to easily purchase their next home with a low-interest rate mortgage attached.
To qualify, you must meet the current FHA, VA, or USDA loan requirements depending on the type of loan you are assuming. This typically means a minimum credit score of 580, although most lenders prefer 620-640. Your debt-to-income ratio should be under the 50% max under FHA guidelines. Additional information such as employment history, explanations of income for each applicant, and asset verification for a down payment may be needed to process the loan.
An assumable mortgage is a type of home loan that allows a homebuyer to take over the existing mortgage terms from the seller, with no cost to the seller. Many government-backed loans, such as FHA and VA loans, are eligible for assumption, and millions of these mortgages are available.
When interest rates on mortgages are high, assuming a mortgage with a rate as low as 2% allows buyers to save up to thousands monthly compared to buying a home with a traditional mortgage at today’s average rates of 7%. A low-rate assumable mortgage could be the key to finding your dream home at an affordable price.

When assuming the existing mortgage as part of a home purchase, the buyer has to cover the seller’s equity in the home. The seller’s equity is the purchase price minus the remaining mortgage balance. This amount must be covered in full through an all-cash down payment or by taking out a second mortgage.
Yes. Non-veterans can assume a VA loan, provided they meet the lender’s VA criteria. When a qualified buyer assumes a VA mortgage from a veteran or active-duty service member, the seller’s VA loan entitlement remains tied to the assumed loan until the buyer pays off or refinances the loan. This process restores the veteran seller’s entitlement, enabling them to use their VA benefit for a future home purchase.
Yes. All FHA loans are assumable by law as long as the buyer meets the FHA’s credit, income, and qualification requirements and obtain lender approval before assuming the loan (per FHA regulations effected December 15, 1989). Roam makes this process simple for buyers.
Generally, conventional loans are not assumable. In rare cases, a conventional loan may be assumable with lender approval. Use our search tool to find homes with assumable low-rate loans, or reach out to us if you’d like to confirm a specific home’s assumability.
