Nestled on 12 picturesque acres in Virginia’s storied horse country, this beautifully restored country farmhouse and bank barn create an exceptional setting for those seeking both functionality and timeless charm. Conveniently located right off 81. Ideally positioned just 20 minutes from Lexington and the Virginia Horse Center, approximately 15 minutes from Staunton, and only 5 minutes from Brownsburg, the property offers effortless access to shows, clinics, trails, dining, and cultural attractions—including nearby Virginia Military Institute and Washington and Lee University—making it ideal for equestrians, hobby farmers, and countryside enthusiasts alike. Designed with horse comfort and ease of management at the forefront, the farm features five well-planned paddocks with excellent spacing and flow, allowing for efficient turnout and rotation. Pastures have been professionally regraded and reseeded to promote healthy footing and strong grass growth, complemented by a handsome poplar board fence that enhances safety while preserving classic farm aesthetics. An existing, level area offers the opportunity to restore a riding ring, ideal for flatwork, schooling, or casual riding at home—an increasingly rare and valuable feature. At the heart of the farm sits a bank barn, thoughtfully restored in 2023 with both preservation and practical use in mind. Upgrades include new custom poplar barn doors, reinforced structural posts, a freshly painted roof, and a cleared lower level ready for future stalls, tack, feed storage, or equipment. The stone foundation was carefully repointed, and modern water diversion systems were installed to protect the barn long-term. Netting throughout helps deter birds and bees, keeping the barn cleaner, safer, and more comfortable for animals. Water is abundant and dependable—a true standout for agricultural use—with two wells, multiple natural springs, and Hays Creek flowing beneath the barn, providing a consistent year-round water source for livestock and land stewardship. The restored farmhouse offers a warm and inviting retreat after a day outdoors. With four bedrooms and three full baths, rich hardwood floors, and generous natural light, the home blends historic character with modern comfort. The gourmet kitchen, featuring a large island, high-end appliances, and ample workspace, serves as a natural gathering place for family, friends, or guests. Practical upgrades include an expanded parking area designed to accommodate trailers and guest vehicles, new gutters and downspouts. High-speed BARC fiber internet supports remote work, streaming, or guest use with ease. Zoned for two additional dwellings and qualifying as a family subdivision (documentation available through the Rockbridge County Planning Department), the property offers flexibility for guest cottages, farm staff housing, multigenerational living, or income-producing rentals. This is more than a home—it’s a thoughtfully designed property where land, water, barns, and residence work together seamlessly. Whether envisioned as a private equestrian retreat, a refined hobby farm, or a guest-friendly countryside escape close to Virginia’s premier equestrian venues, this exceptional offering delivers usability, beauty, and location in equal measure. No horse, No problem. With established fencing and well-maintained pastures already in place, the property is equally well-suited for cattle, goats, sheep, or other livestock—or simply enjoy the peace and privacy of country living, wide-open skies, and unforgettable nights under the stars.
