“Paris from Above”. Opportunity to own a legacy property with conservation easement potential--notably this is the gateway to the Paris Valley. Enjoy unimaginable, far-reaching views from above the historic hamlet of Paris, Virginia . This offering includes three parcels, 48 acres +/- in all. Across the stunning hillside meadows there are plenty of enchanting building sites for your new home. Mature trees, rubble stone walls and abundant wildlife are found here. The property, located west of Middleburg and Upperville, is easy to access from multiple directions. Perfectly poised for the construction of your dream home or pursuit of an agribusiness. As a single unit, the acreage represents an unparalleled situation to create a one-of-a-kind country home or hunter's wildlife paradise, enjoying vantage point views like no other. Perfect for family compound. Good soil, south facing slopes and siting make this an attractive location for vineyards. Located at the landmark intersection of John S. Mosby Highway (Route 50) and Route 17, the location is strategic for a farm winery or other agribusiness. The property has extensive frontage on U.S. Route 50 with several entrance points. The land has been sensitively maintained to support the mature trees and planted in 2021 with a custom blend pasture grass. The offering is in three deeded parcels with multiple divisions by-right. The ease with which these parcels can be developed may be parlayed into a valuable opportunity for conservation easement advantages. The property is situated amidst a variety of protected, conserved lands which contribute to its conservation value. Piedmont Environmental Council and Virginia Outdoors Foundation easements protect over 1,500 acres in the area. Sky Meadows State Park of 1,826 acres and the G. Richard Thompson State Wildlife Management Area, consisting of 4,000 acres, are nearby neighbors. A launch station for the Appalachian Trail is across the road. The Shenandoah River is two minutes away. The 21 acre parcel holds a charming, renovated two story, 3 bedroom, 2 ½ bath home, a 6,000 sq ft bank barn/equipment storage building/shop, several storybook outbuildings (for storage, potting and gardening, farm animals, art studio or office—Think author, Bunny Williams’ book, “An Affair with a House”). Relax on wraparound porch--enjoy unmatched views. The house is graced with antique hardwood floors and has a period feel. High speed broadband internet! A 6,000 sq ft barn sits apart from the home with ample parking on all sides with separate driveway. The well-constructed block and board and batten building has a large workshop with restroom and 8 bays on one level of the building. Generous area for farm equipment, collector cars, or your hobby. On the other side of the building are two secure storage rooms and huge storage space with high, raftered ceilings. The building has been recently enhanced with a 220v RV hookup. Live in the existing home during construction of your new home and use the large barn as the base of operations for the construction crew and fabrications! The existing house might be later transformed into a guest house or farm manager’s residence. The two other parcels are open to your ideas and dreams. The 6 acre parcel has one building right. The other 20+/-acre parcel has 3 building rights and is improved by a professionally engineered road leading to a well disguised Verizon “monopine” at the peak of the parcel. (NOTE to cell tower leasing agents: Verizon cell tower exists as a perpetual easement; there is no tower lease. So, pls do not phone listing agent seeking to acquire lease.) Many varied opportunities await your imagination. Appt only. No drive ins. Don't miss drone video at video icon.
