Roanoke County schools paid $2.5 million for Poage Farm in 2008. Now, they’re selling it to a developer for a so-far undisclosed sum. I asked readers to predict the sales price and got guesses from Idaho Falls to Vinton. One sly wag from Botetourt predicted $1.5 trillion.
The school system declared the land surplus in May and put it on the real estate market in September. In November, it inked a sales agreement with a developer. But officials have declined to reveal the sales price until the deal closes. The contract s wording suggests that could be as late as July.
