About this property
Moss Side Manor House
19th Century charm with modern convenience
Hardwoods, oriental rugs, 6 gas fireplaces and period furniture grace this authentic 19th Century planter’s home. True to its original construction, the remodeled kitchen and an informal dining room are contained in an adjacent building, separate from the main house. The kitchen is well appointed with modern equipment.
Please inquire about hosting your event or wedding at Moss Side Manor
Our two bedroom historical home, Moss Side Manor, is a 19th century 2 story home located upon hundreds of acres of farmland. The main home contains 2 bedrooms, 2 full baths, a formal dining room, kitchenette, and living area.
The Kitchen tower is located behind the main building and is fully equipped with modern appliances, a half bathroom, and an upstairs dining area.
The copper roof barn in the back is a working barn for our small staff of farm hands. Our farmhands will sometimes need to drive by to feed the cows and maintain farm equipment. Please don't be alarmed - they are very friendly and considerate of our guests.
Main house, Kitchen Tower, Grill & patio, Gazebo.
Surrounding meadows and farmlands are great for hiking and horseback rides can be arranged.
The barn in the back will sometimes have farm hands working inside.
We are situated on a colonial roadway, now New Kent Highway. Local Saudè Creek Vineyards, the Gauthier Vineyard and the New Kent Winery can be reached within 10 minutes by car. Within approximately 30 minutes you will find the Muscarelle Museum of Art, Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, Colonial Williamsburg and Historic Jamestown. Kids will not want to miss a trip to the nearby Busch Gardens of Williamsburg. Golfers have their pick of over a dozen nearby courses.
The main residence contains the formal reception hall, living room, dining room, 2 upstairs bedrooms, and 2 and a half bathrooms.

About the host

Why they chose this property
The current property owner, John Poindexter, an entreprenuer as well as a land and building preservationist, is a native Texan. He currently resides in Houston while considering New Kent, Virginia his second home.
With family roots in New Kent dating to the late 1600's, John began a property acquisition and restoration effort in 2013. By 2014 it included 2500 acres of rural property situated near Williamsburg, VA. The acquired properties are once again becoming farming acreage and managed forests, characteristic of the colonial era.
Unlike most entrepreneurs whose interest New Kent has captured, his intentions have been to protect and preserve.
The property was in extreme disrepair when purchased in 2013. With the guidance of local craftsmen and talented advisers, the property was fully revitalized to its original condition, along with a few modern conveniences. In a home that was at one time full of life and vitality, the owner desires that new memories will be created and cherished by those who visit. Moss Side, circa 1865, was one of John's first renovations. Moss Side's acres were once in the Poindexter family, from which it was purchased and operated for generations by the Christian family. The Christian family still lives in New Kent and remains close neighbors and friends. The Christian's were pleased to witness the masterful renovation and to see their beloved family homeplace restored to its original elegance.
