This historic farm sits on 78 +/- acres in Sinks Grove, WV amongst majestic views of the mountains and neighboring farms The property holds 12 structures including the current farm house, the original farmhouse, two barns, and a multitude of useful outbuildings. The property is currently a working farm, rented by a neighbor, and has the potential to be a highly productive farm. Of the acreage offered, more than 77% of the soils present are prime and important soils meaning that they offer the best combination of physical and chemical characteristics for producing food, feed, forage, fiber. There is also quite a bit of water present on the farm including two ponds and several springs which feed creeks that flow into Broad Run.
The farmhouse is sited on a rise in a bend of Broad Run road. The house was originally built in 1930 and is surrounded by sheds and barns to accommodate all the equipment you would need to run a farm. A huge mature Sugar Maple tree stands proud in the front yard and provides shade in the summer. The house is 3 bedrooms with a large bathroom, generous kitchen, and a bright sunroom attached to the kitchen.
The front door is accessed from the porch which is a quintessential Southern covered sitting porch ready for your porch swing and gliders. The front door opens into the parlor from which you can turn into the living room, pass through into the kitchen, or head up stairs to the bedrooms. The bedrooms are all large and all have beautiful views of the surrounding farms.
The kitchen is directly accessed from the covered back door and comes fully furnished with a refrigerator, electric stove, and dishwasher as well as a large double stainless steel farm sink. The kitchen is big enough to eat in but the sunroom is the perfect space to hold a large family gathering around a big table.
The real jewel of this property are the open rolling fields that have been maintained as pasture and hay fields. The only part of this property that has any noteworthy slope is the small cave fed watershed that slopes away from the house down towards Broad Run. This makes the views exceptional with panoramic vistas of the mountains from any part of the property. There are also plenty of potential home sites if you want to build your dream home.
Even though this property is in the country it is accessed by paved roads and a short paved driveway. It is only 12 miles to a grocery store in the nearby town of Union which also has restaurants, a public pool, shopping, services, an annual Autumn festival, and a Christmas parade.
Nearby Lewisburg, the historic county seat, offers shopping, dining and year-round entertainment. Annual events include the State Fair of West Virginia, Taste of Our Towns, the Lewisburg Chocolate Festival, and the Lewisburg Literary Festival. The Greenbrier Valley Theatre, West Virginia's official state theatre, offers year-round live performances, and well-known and rising stars appear in concert at Carnegie Hall.
