GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Linden Farm is accessed off Clarks Mountain Road, a quiet two-lane country road. The entrance is marked by an impressive 4.1 acre pond and the driveway enters the property over the ponds dam, creating a scenic and unique entry. From here, the gravel road continues to the farms interior, passing the 12.3 acre Brookes Lake, a scenic focal point of the property.
Lindens primary land use is cattle pasture, although its gently rolling topography is suitable for any number of alternative uses, including crop production, vineyards, equestrian facilities, and upland bird habitat. The views throughout the Linden property are spectacular and the viewshed is often described as the finest in the Rapidan River Basin. The rolling pastures, two large ponds, and wide vistas of the Blue Ridge Mountains rival the scenery found anywhere in central Virginia.
The manor house on the property occupies a central elevated location that provides expansive views of the mountains and surrounding landscape. The manor house is ideally situated and ready for a new owner to finish to their specifications. Accompanying the manor house is the three-bedroom carriage house, a one-bedroom guest cottage, a swimming pool, and a pool house. There is also a four-bedroom managers house and a two-bedroom tenant cottage. The number of dwellings on this property (five in total) offers turn-key availability and the potential for a multi-generational retreat.
The barns and poultry houses lie southeast of the owners compound and can be accessed via internal farm roads or a separate farm entrance off Clifton Road. The agricultural improvements were all designed with efficiency in mind and are built to accommodate large equipment and farm deliveries.
BROKER'S COMMENTS
Linden Farm encompasses 470 acres in the heart of the picturesque Virginia Piedmont. Wide vistas of the Blue Ridge Mountains fill the western viewshed, while the gently sloping land east of the farm marks the beginning of Virginias costal plain. For three decades the farm has harmonized agriculture, wildlife, and the homestead, creating a farm thats proven yet filled with potential for the next owner.
The primary land uses of the farm are agricultural and recreational, and the fertile Davidson soils on the western portion of the farm form the foundation of the production pastures supporting the Angus and SimAngus herd. Wildlife and hunting on the farm can be outstanding, and the rolling topography, two ponds, and a large amount of open acreage provide the groundwork for additional recreational pursuits.
The farm is thoroughly improved, starting with a beautiful, character-rich owners compound centered around a Georgian-style manor house built in 1930 with a separate fully updated three-bedroom carriage house and one-bedroom guest cottage. Additional improvements include a managers house, tenant cottage, farm buildings, and two poultry houses. Lindens balanced land uses, privacy, and close proximity to Washington D.C., Richmond, and Charlottesville, make it a coveted opportunity to create a lasting family retreat.
