The robust spring on the 4.87 acre Karnes Creek site was once part of the Lipsey & Meade Water System serving Low Moor VA and the surrounding area.
The Lipsey & Meade Water System was sold to Alleghany County VA in September 1974 by Virginia Meade and Martha B. Lipsey for $5,000 cash in hand. Reference Deed Book 211 page 612 and Plat Book 24 Page 290 in the Alleghany County VA Courthouse.
The sellers did grant and convey any franchise or exclusive right to serve any water customer located in what is commonly known at the Low Moor (Lowmoor) area in Alleghany County. By this conveyance it was intended that the sellers, their heirs, personal representatives and assigns would not engage in the sale of water for residential purposes within a radius of five miles from the then existing Central School located within the village of Low Moor. The sellers, however, did reserve the right to sell water to any individual or corporation where said water would be used for non-residential purposes.
The parties to the sale further agreed that the spring and spring house situated on what is today the 4.87 acre Karnes Creek property were expressly excluded from the sale of the water system.
The robust spring on the Karnes Creek property in Low Moor VA runs cold and clear. The spring (actually 3 springs) forms a pool approximately 30 feet wide by 100 feet long which overflows as a perennial stream to join Karnes Creek. The abandoned brick pump house may still be found on the eastern side of the spring pond.
The Karnes Creek site consists of 4.87 acres and has approximately 556 feet of frontage on the Selma-Low Moor Road (State Route 696) and 339 feet on Karnes Road (State Route 1312). The site is situated at Exit 21 on I-64 in Low Moor VA and is visible from the interstate. This commercial site is zoned B-1.
