SLATE MILLS ROAD, SPERRYVILLE, Rappahannock

Originally the heart of a1,000 acre farm, this is the first time this parcel has been offered on the open market.  This hidden gem sits in the valley between Walden, Grindstone and Butler Mountains.  The spectacular 100 acre property is home to a wide variety of native flora and fauna.  You are almost guaranteed to see wild turkeys and deer on every visit. Roughly 30 acres of the property is a large open meadow that gently rises and falls adding visual interest to the land while still allowing for it to be productive for livestock, hay or other crops.  To the west of the meadow the property extends along the base of Walden Mountain before it sharply climbs towards the ridge.  To the north of the meadow is a large timber stand.  Filled with poplar, oak, walnut and an assortment of other mature trees, the forest is a joy to walk through.  Like the meadow, the land continues to gently rise and fall and could easily be converted to pastureland if needed.  The eastern edge of the property has a hedge row that separates the meadow from the adjoining neighbors field while forests to the south provide another buffer. Additional acreage may be available with a boundary adjustment.
