Mountain Valley Farm is a beautiful 242-acre farm with softly rolling fields located around 8 miles east of the Town of Culpeper off Carrico Mill Rd. The property is bounded by trees on every side, with 1.3 miles of stream frontage on Mountain Run for your recreational enjoyment. An existing farmhouse is perfectly situated on top of a knoll overlooking the farm, offering a panoramic view that encompasses five counties! The surrounding area was the scene of a notable Civil War battle and will appeal to history buffs and nature lovers alike. Hunters will appreciate the natural populations of white-tailed deer, turkey, dove, and coyotes. The property was recently in use as a dairy farm, and has been used for farming and dairying since the area was settled in the late 18th century. Some farm buildings still exist from when Mountain Valley Farm was more fully utilized, but which are no longer being used or maintained. These include a dairy barn (which had a herringbone milking parlor with ten units and a 2,000 gal Mueller tank) with holding pen and a 110’ x 170’ stall-free barn that was built in 2007. Additional structures include a 40’ x 90’ machinery shed and 101’ x 10’ Slurrystore manure structure. A conservation easement is in place through the Department of Historic Resources intended to preserve the rural beauty and historical significance of the farm while still allowing improvement and modernization. Owners may reconstruct one single-family home (up to 4,500 SF above ground) at the site of the current farmhouse, plus one tenant home (up to 3,500 SF above ground) and associated smaller buildings (like detached garages, sheds, gazebos, or a pool house). A swimming pool or tennis/sport court, and a parking pad are allowed, along with a wide variety of agricultural and farm-related buildings and structures. Commercial uses are also allowed as long as they are performed inside/within the structures. The property may not be subdivided; it is being sold as, and must remain, one parcel. Please refer to the full terms of the conservation easement in the offering memorandum to determine what can or cannot be built on the property. Mountain Valley Farm occupies a convenient location near Route 15 and Route 3 with easy access to Culpeper, Bealeton, Warrenton, and Fredericksburg.
