Monticola, a Greek Revival Mansion located in Howardsville, was built in the 1850s for Daniel James Hartsook, a merchant, banker & planter. In 1865, Union troops raided Howardsville and Monticola, but left the mansion undamaged. The next owners, the Noltings, allowed the movie "Virginia" to be filmed at the estate which can be seen throughout the film. Monticola is a stunning example of a pre-war Greek Revival plantation home. The home is fully renovated (with plans approved by the Virginia Department of Historic Resources). The home is now available with several acreage combinations up to 292 acres. We are willing to entertain trade offers.
