Shurgen Lane

Amissville $325,000

Bounded by old stone walls and centuries old poplars, Shurgen Forest has a fascinating tale to tell.  Years ago when Rappahannock County was primarily open farms, this 103 +/- acre farm  was some of the most productive land around.  As economies and fortunes changed, the land was allowed to revert to a forest of primarily Poplars and Oaks with an under story of Dogwoods and the occasional American Holly.  Now the property is a little known secret of amazing diversity and excellent recreational opportunities.  This property is now available as Lot 1 and Lot 2, 51.6658 acres, for a price of $325,000 for each lot.


The property is rolling and well watered with several spring fed streams lacing the land.  Several prominent knolls overlook the lower reaches of the watershed.  In the lowlands there are multiple types of ferns, running pine and water loving plants.  Higher up the forest floor is more open, shaded by a dense canopy.  The diversity of plant life supports numerous species of wildlife including deer, bear, foxes, squirrels and raccoons.  Its perfect for hunting game or unusual wildflowers.  Although a little foreboding, walking the property yields a fascinating land of flora and fauna.  At the boundary of the far western side of the property there is a large  high voltage power line.  The entrance road to the property is a deeded right of way (R.O.W.) off of Shurgen Lane. The gate to the entrance road is locked so please call the office to receive the code.
