Rosewood Hill Farm SOLD

Rosewood Hill Farm is a 65 acre wooded and open farm  of which 20 acres are rolling terrain and 45 are steeply sloped mountain land with southeastern and western exposure.  The property has two entrances - one is off of Scrabble Road on Blackberry Lane (private lane)  and the other access is through Eagles Nest Lane (private lane) that runs along the ridge of Bessie Bell Mountain approximately 1,000 feet in elevation offering building sites with breathtaking views of the Shenandoah to the west and the Scrabble Valley to the east.  The bottom of the farm is 20 acres of rolling land, 15 acres are fenced and surround an 850 square foot two bedroom, 1 bath  caretakers cabin (built in 2001).

For the wine enthusiast the property includes a small vineyard.  For the horse or livestock owner there is an automatic frost free waterer on the property plus special endophyte-free fescue grass on well-limed pastures filled with clover.  For the gardener or farmer there is a small green house and a large well-composted garden whose soil is ideal for organic vegetable production. 

The property includes three streams and several springs with two streams running down a hollow in the mountain, this offers a site where one could build a large deep water pond with adequate oxygen for fish and algae-free swimming.

For those interested in a vineyard on the property here is what the owner of the property has to say about the soil and exposure: " The slope above the house and the stream has perfect south east exposure with a gentle 12 degree slope.  At 600 - 1000 feet elevation it is in the thermal incline zone which will keep grapes above the frost.  This will give an extra three weeks of growing season in the fall for the grapes to ripen.  That area has enough room for a 12 acre vineyard. The soils are of a loam type which is steeply drained meaning the grapes will not be standing in water."
