Hungry Run Farm encompasses 487.653 acres of Rappahannock County’s most beautiful countryside. A scenic country road approaches this wonderful farm through a tree-lined drive bordered by open verdant fields and leading to the “hamlet” of three homes including the main residence with portions believed to date to the mid 1800’s.
Three major bodies of water define the property borders including a mile of frontage on the Rappahannock River to the East, Ramey Run to the South and Hungry Run to the North. Due to the diversity of this farm, the property hosts bountiful wildlife including waterfowl, deer, turkey, pheasant, fox, black bear and eagles. Approximately 130 acres of the farm is forested with oaks, poplar, hickory, pine, gum and walnut trees being the prominent species present. The topography of the land ranges from level to gently rolling with some area of hillsides reaching elevations of over 500 feet.
The main residence, with the original section reported to be over 150 years old, has been expanded over the years to the current 3,369 square feet of living space. With wonderful antique pine floors, mortise and tenon period wood doors and five fireplaces graced with antique mantels this home has a warm country feeling with endless possibilities for future expansion if needed. The addition of the large family room with massive stone fireplace, views out over the property and access to the flagstone patio and pool area make this space a favorite destination.
Additionally, the property is enhanced by two additional homes for guests, farm staff or tenants. The “log” style house contains approximately 1,020 square feet of living space, a full basement, living room, kitchen, stone fireplace, bedroom with full bath and loft area for office or family room. A long covered porch across the front of the residence provides views over the rolling fields and nearby mountains.
The Cape Cod style guest house, of approximately 1,304 square feet, features a charming living room with paneled wall and fireplace, kitchen, two bedrooms and full bath on the main level. There is a full walk-out basement plus additional finished area on the second level for two additional bedrooms if desired.
Recreational activities are plentiful in Rappahannock County with the Shenandoah National Park’s 32,000 acres just minutes away providing hiking, fishing, horseback riding, biking and overnight accommodations including camping. The park is home to the beautiful Skyline Drive along the Blue Ridge Mountains. The farm is also located in the Old Dominion Fox Hounds territory. Just minutes down the road is the County Seat of Washington, Virginia and home to The Inn at Little Washington, rated as one of the Top 10 Best Restaurants in the World.
The property is currently enrolled in the land use program and is a prime candidate for preservation through a conservation easement providing the new owner with potential tax savings and the benefit of placing such an environmentally important property into future protection.
The first time offering of Hungry Run Farm in over thirty years, is a rare opportunity to own a wonderful country farm in breathtaking surroundings.
