Discover a rare opportunity to own a property steeped in history and rich with agricultural and income-generating potential, set along scenic Mountain View Road. Enrolled in the PDR program and potential for a 3-lot perk, this expansive farm boasts 12 fully fenced paddocks across approximately 60 acres. The fencing is premium Stay Tuff Fixed Knot fencing with double hot wire throughout—strategically placed for animal safety and containment. In horse pastures, the hot wire runs at top and chest level; in goat pastures, it's at knee and chest level. All fencing and waterers were professionally installed in 2022. A dedicated fence road runs alongside the paddock fencing and is wide enough for vehicle access, allowing for convenient inspection and maintenance of both fencing and pastures. (Buyers are responsible for maintaining the fencing or paying a pro-rated maintenance fee.) The land is fertile and highly productive—ideal for growing crops, grazing cattle, or supporting horses. Its lush, established grass makes it perfectly suited for a cow-calf operation, with the ability to accommodate cattle easily. With calves often selling for $1,500 per head, this presents a significant income stream. A USDA-approved $50,000 grant is in place to expand from 12 to 20 pastures, opening the door for additional ventures such as field boarding, where owners can earn $250–$300 per horse per month. Please note that this grant is not transferable to new owners; however, the current owners are willing to assist the future owners in applying for and securing the grant through the appropriate channels. The agricultural potential doesn't stop there. With opportunities for hay production, farm tours, riding lessons, hayrides, a petting zoo, and even gold panning, the possibilities are endless. Fauquier County supports local farming through its annual fall farm tour, which draws approximately 2,000 visitors and offers free advertising. Depending on how the land is utilized, the county will promote your farm as part of its broader agricultural initiatives. Outdoor enthusiasts will also appreciate the property's appeal for fishing and hunting. The current owners generated $6,000 from deer hunting alone. The land was only partially timbered in 2021, offering future timber value. A tranquil pond enhances the scenic backyard. A network of woods and trails runs through the property, including cleared trails that lead back to power lines and around several creeks—perfect for horseback riding, dirt biking, or nature walks—with potential for expanding even more. There are also several creeks running through the property, including the wide and deep Town Run Creek and the picturesque Anderson Creek, which features beautiful waterfalls and mini rapids. These water features add to the land's natural beauty and recreational appeal. The woods are alive with wildlife, with deer and turkey frequently seen roaming the property. Structures on the property include a 3-stall barn and a second barn used as a nursery, both providing flexible options for equestrian or livestock needs. Additional highlights include a 100x200 riding arena site, winter strip grazing setup, and a 200-amp electrical breaker. Approximately $200,000 has been invested in premium fencing. Two wells support the property—one for the residence and one dedicated to agricultural use. The home features HVAC, running water, and a working toilet. An adjacent lot includes a Verizon tower, providing excellent cell service. Plus, $50K in USDA-approved upgrades ready to be applied for. Whether you're looking to establish a working farm, launch a multi-faceted agri-business, preserve a historic estate, or invest in a truly one-of-a-kind property, this land offers a rare blend of history, functionality, and limitless future potential.
