Spring Hill Farm consists of 298 acres of rolling pasture and farmland with Blue Ridge Mountain views. The driveway winds through the front fields to knoll where the historic farmhouse is located. Fenced and cross fenced, this farm has been home to cattle and horses for many years. Several streams flow through the farm to Muddy Run, a strong stream that flows through the southern portion of the farm. The distinctive white farmhouse with its red roof dates to 1837 and sits on a knoll with Blue Ridge Mountain views. Two additions have been made to the original home, one in 1940 to accommodate a growing farm family and then again in the 1994 updating systems and adding a 3-car garage. Traditional floor plan with living room, dining room, den, kitchen, breakfast room, and full bath on the main level and 3 bedrooms, study, and full bath on the second floor. Enjoy historic farmhouse charm, with advantage of modern infrastructure. The dependencies reflect a bygone farming era. The old barn that the work horses were kept in, corn crib and a log structure that is thought to be the original homestead, dating to the late 1700’s. Equipment shed, 5 stall horse barn, shop and large storage barn round out the improvements.

MAPLE SPRINGS: Several revenue sources from leases: Two Bedroom Historic Cottage is being leased thru AirBnB, 100 acres of pasture are leased for grazing beef cattle, and a 4 stall Stable and two 5 acre horse pastures will be available in mid June. All this while the new owner lives in the Main House. The rolling hills across the fields at Maple Springs offer splendid views of the Blue Ridge Mountains. A Cape Cod house, built in 1949, sits on one of those hills. In this century an addition was built off the back over a second Garage. The architecturally designed addition became the Primary Bedroom with a Tray Ceiling, tall Marvin Windows, double walk-in closets with stacked washer/dryer, and patio doors out to a long covered porch looking out at the mountains. Five years later the Kitchen was gutted, enlarged, and professionally designed. New Kitchen windows led to replacing the rest of the original house windows. Last year a Slate Terrace and Pagoda were installed next to the kitchen as an "outdoors room". The Virginia and the National historic registries accepted the Cottage c.1741 and graveyard with Civil War soldiers onto their registries. At that point the owners of the farm began a total restoration of the cottage. Two stone fireplaces were either rebuilt or restored, Heart Pine interior woodwork & flooring were replaced or rejuvenated and "1741" was found cut into the underside of the Lintel stone in the fireplace. AirBnB guests love it! A four stall Morton Stable was built in 1995 with a wash stall and tack room, all the fencing replaced, a dog kennel built, and a cattle shed converted with a head gate and chute to work on cattle. Twenty years later, the cattle were sold and grazing rights leased to a good neighbor who also mows twice a growing season. Ten acres in two pastures are left for the owner's horses. That neighbor will give up, or moderate, his grazing rights at a new owner's request. Three Creeks meander thru, or originate from springs on Maple Springs. They are fenced so that horses & cattle do not pollute water flowing into the Rappahannock River & The Chesapeake Bay Watershed. Maple Springs is under easement with the Virginia Outdoors Foundation. This gives the land a permanent Agricultural Land Use designation that reduces the land taxes. There is one Division Right ; and that parcel must be at least 50 acres. The neighborhood has many grazing farms larger than Maple Springs and are in some sort of easement or land use program. The Cottage's Standing Seam roof resulted in converting the main house 's Asphalt roof to a Standing Seam! [Recorded Land Deeds total 113.60acs. and Culpeper County Taxes total 111.74acs.]
