About the host
Hosted by Dana Mahoney
Why they chose this property
The current property owner, John Poindexter, an entrepreneur 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.
Moss Side Cottage, part of the Moss Side Manor Estate was in disrepair when purchased in 2014. With the guidance of local craftsmen and talented advisers, the property was revitalized and updated. 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 (Moss Side Manor) restored to its original elegance.
