116.35 acres in the heart of Hampshire County, West Virginia, this estate blends rich history with modern upgrades and endless opportunity. Just minutes from the South Branch of the Potomac River and only two hours from Washington, D.C., this farm delivers true seclusion without sacrificing accessibility. With two spring-fed stocked ponds, abundant deer, turkey, and bear, and a perfect balance of open meadows and wooded ridges, the land itself is a premier destination for hunters, anglers, and outdoor enthusiasts looking to escape the suburbs and reconnect with the land. And for the aviation enthusiast, the property offers plenty of room to establish a 550-foot grass airstrip. At its core is a 3,000+ square foot stone home, complemented by a modern addition that thoughtfully incorporates elements from the original log house. Believed to have been built around 1820, the residence began as a two-story log dwelling after the Fox family first settled the valley in the late 1700s. They later expanded with the stone home that still stands strong today, boasting 24-inch-thick walls, original pine floors, a handcrafted staircase, and four fireplaces. A gristmill, tannery, and blacksmith shop once operated on the farm, and the original millstone still marks the drive. Even regional lore touches this propertyJohn Blue, the central figure in Hanging Rock Rebel, married a Fox daughter after the Civil War. In 1948, Dr. C. E. Brandt purchased 900 acres from the Fox family, carrying the legacy forward.

Today, 116 acres remain in their carenow available for the next steward to make their mark. The home itself has been carefully modernized to meet todays standards without sacrificing its Appalachian soul.
