196.06 Acres in Rural Retreat, VA - $1,599,999
Historic Home & Cattle Farm on Trout Stream
This is definitely one of the most picturesque grazing farms in Southwestern Virginia. This 197 Acre Farm includes 50 Acres of Hayfields which traditionally yield 520 large bales a year. The pastures are cross fenced with excellent fencing and well water supplies 4 stall trough watering systems. It could easily be home to cattle, horses, sheep, alpacas or goats. The farm is bounded by approximately 5000 feet of the fabled Cripple Creek and its native tributary stream Crigger Creek. This is Blue Ribbon Trophy Trout Fishing water. Virginia Wildlife Department tested the water and said it is an "awesome" habitat. Fed by spring heads nearby, the water stays cool, lots of food/oxygen with a consistent flow.
There are numerous Barns and Equipment Sheds and the original farmhouse has been lovingly restored with new electrical and plumbing systems. This is truly a "Norman Rockwell" type setting...
There are numerous Barns and Equipment Sheds and the original farmhouse has been lovingly restored with new electrical and plumbing systems. This is truly a "Norman Rockwell" type setting. The home features authentic hand-hewn logs, extra wide heart pine floors, tiled baths and showers and large open spaces with a warm, rustic feel. The creek front and lawns are shaded by enormous willow trees with broad grasslands surrounding the homesite. This property is comprised of several different tax parcels and could be subdivided by a new owner. All of this is located in close proximity to Jefferson National Forest.
