Property Description
The land is well-suited for equestrian use, recreation, or a private retreat. Approximately 20 acres are in pasture, with most of the property fenced using high-tensile wire, woven wire, and electric. Two barns provide substantial infrastructure: a newer 60' x 60' barn featuring 8 stalls (with potential to expand to 10-12), open interior space, and room for trailer storage, plus an older bank barn ideal for hay and equipment. A granary near the home includes an insulated cellar space for storage, and a foundation is already in place within the main barn for a future meat processing room.
Water features include three ponds fed by wet-weather streams and multiple nearby trout waters. Two native trout streams border the property, with additional stocked and native waters--including Pads Creek, the Maury River, Goshen Pass, and Bubbling Springs--within a short drive. Wildlife is abundant, with frequent sightings of deer, turkey, bear, and small game, making this a prime setting for hunting or simply enjoying nature.
The home is a remodeled 3-bedroom, 2-bath manufactured residence offering 1,248 square feet of comfortable living space. A small covered front porch and a larger covered rear porch provide inviting outdoor areas, complemented by a utility room for added convenience. The home is served by spring water feeding a 500-gallon cistern.
Rich in both natural beauty and local history, the property is believed to have ties to a Civil War-era furnace and forge operation that once produced pig iron for the Confederacy, with remnants such as green, black, and blue slag still found on the land. According to local accounts, the original furnace site was located near the old barn. A small gem mine so to speak further adds to the property's unique character.
Located just 15 minutes from the Virginia Horse Center and the historic town of Lexington, this property offers a rare combination of accessibility, usable acreage, and proximity to some of Virginia's most treasured outdoor resources. Whether for horses, recreation, or a legacy property to enjoy for generations, this is a truly distinctive offering.
