Property Description
Welcome to your private retreat in South Stafford. This timeless craftsman-style bungalow rests on approximately 56 acres of rolling Virginia countryside. Tucked away at the end of a long driveway, this hidden gem offers unmatched serenity and sweeping pastoral views. The land is protected by a conservation easement that preserves its natural beauty while still allowing for the construction of a second home.
Step onto the inviting covered porch and enjoy peaceful sunrises over the farmland. Each season brings its own vibrant colors and abundant wildlife. Inside, the home is filled with natural light and combines classic charm with modern updates. Fully renovated in 2011 and refreshed again in 2020, it features hard surface flooring, a beautifully remodeled kitchen with a large eat-up bar, and a cozy family room that feels warm and welcoming. The bathrooms, windows, siding, roof, and HVAC have all been updated, along with a whole-home water filtration system. The unfinished basement provides generous storage space or room to expand.
Outside, the property truly shines. The 56-acre +/- parcel backs to Little Falls Run and includes more than 30 +/- acres of lush pasture with a mix of high-tensile, and woven wire fencing. Waterlines are thoughtfully placed throughout the fields for livestock. There is a corral pen, two run-in sheds, and a large barn with finished, climate-controlled areas and a full bath. A second three-sided barn with a lean-to that sits in the backfield, offering flexibility for horses, farming operations, or equipment storage.
The setting is ideal for anyone who loves the outdoors. Enjoy hunting, fishing, and exploring the winding network of trails that weave through the property. Whether your dream is to raise livestock, ride horses, or simply relax surrounded by nature, this farm offers the perfect blend of functionality and peace.
Located just minutes from Downtown Fredericksburg, the Little Falls Public Boat Ramp, McDuff Green Park, and George Washington's Ferry Farm, you'll find convenience without sacrificing privacy. Commuting to Quantico, Dahlgren, Washington DC, Richmond, or the Leeland and Brooke VRE Stations is easy and direct.
This is a rare opportunity to own an established farm with a thoughtfully updated home, modern amenities, and endless potential. Places like this are hard to find and offer the perfect chance to create the lifestyle and retreat you've always imagined.
