The Buena Vista mansion, built about 1849, is one of Roanoke, Virginia’s oldest homes. Scott as well as Ascension Horchler would similar to purchase the mansion to renovate for take as a intimate home, but the community has expressed some concerns. The property, used for years as a community center, would be sold to a intimate individual, along with three acres of Jackson Park, for a paltry $75,000. Repair costs, which will include asbestos removal, are estimated at $500,000. The Horchlers possess a pleasant track record of renovating historic properties as well as say they will preserve the historic landmark standards of the house as well as land. Incase the sale is approved, restrictions on its take as well as sale will be part of the deal, but the proposition allows part of the house, specifically the ground floor including the ballrooms to be rented out for community functions.
