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 property-John 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. For more than 75 years, the Brandt family has hunted, fished, and farmed this ground, enjoying its resources across generations. Today, 116 acres remain in their care-now available for the next steward to make their mark. The home itself has been carefully modernized to meet today's standards without sacrificing its Appalachian soul. With three to four bedrooms, a full bath and half bath, and extensive renovations, it combines timeless character with modern comfort. Recent upgrades include a new HVAC system along with major electrical and plumbing improvements. Inside, a remodeled kitchen, custom bathroom upgrades, and a spacious family room create warm, functional living spaces designed for both daily life and entertaining. Supporting the residence are extensive outbuildings: a three-bay insulated detached garage, a large detached garage/workshop for vehicles or equipment, a 30x60 barn, and a 16x60 wood-sided metal pole building. Together, they provide the infrastructure for farming, livestock, or any outdoor pursuit. This estate is more than just a property-it is a working landscape, a hunting retreat, a family compound, and a piece of West Virginia's living history. The Fox family began the story, the Brandt family carried it forward, and now the opportunity exists for a new family to write the next chapter. This is your chance to own a once-in-a-generation estate-rich in history, abundant in resources, and ready for modern living.
