WILLIAMSBURG, Va., Dec. 31 (UPI) -- Carter's Grove, one of Virginia's most renowned mansions and plantations, is scheduled to be up for sale beginning next month.
The New York Times reported that after the 18th-century Georgian mansion failed to get the support of any preservation groups, Colonial Williamsburg, Va., was forced to consider a possible sale.
The 400-acre estate was placed in financial jeopardy through shifting priorities in the area and a lack of attendance to the historic riverfront property, the Times said.
Some preservation experts say the possible sale, which could be for more than $20 million, represents a growing problem facing historic U.S. properties.
"If you look around the country, this isn't a problem, it's the problem," preservation consultant Douglas Horne said.
The Times said other preservation experts maintain that by selling such famed residences to private owners, the properties can receive much-needed costly repairs and maintenance.
