Brown Mountain Farm, Nethers $3,000,000

 SOLD
Rappahannock County is known for its sparkling vistas and wealth of recreational opportunitites but it has been a long time since a property this special has been on the market!  It is approximately 254 acres along Nethers  Road, at the foot of Old Rag. The farm has over 1/2 mile of frontage on the Hughes River, one of Virginia’s favorite trout streams.  Above the river is an expansive 40 +/- acre pasture with magnificent mountain views.  Below the pasture in a hidden glen is a good sized pond.  From there, in a series of hollows and ridges, the property rises to the summit of Brown Mountain at approximately 1,300 ft. above sea level.  The topography is marvelously varied with bluffs above the river, large rock outcroppings, gentle meadows, and high knolls with commanding views.  Numerous hiking and riding trails access many of the dramatic features.  The property includes a solid, old restorable farm house and the remanants of an old cabin with a standing stone chimney.
