11997 Bristersburg Rd

Discover a rare opportunity to own a property steeped in history and rich with agricultural and income-generating potential, set along scenic Mountain View Road. Enrolled in the PDR program with a 3-lot perk, this expansive farm boasts 12 fully fenced paddocks, each equipped with electric fencing and waterers—professionally installed by John Marshall in 2022. The fencing spans approximately one mile and also forms a continuous riding trail throughout the property. A dedicated fence road runs alongside the fencing and is wide enough for vehicle access, allowing for convenient inspection and maintenance of both fencing and pastures. In addition to the electric fencing, the property is enclosed with perimeter fencing that helps keep out deer, coyotes, and bears—adding protection for both livestock and crops. (Buyers are responsible for maintaining the fencing or paying a pro-rated maintenance fee.) The land is fertile and highly productive—ideal for growing crops, grazing cattle, or supporting horses. Its lush, established grass makes it perfectly suited for a cow-calf operation, with the ability to accommodate 50 head of cattle easily. With calves often selling for $1,500 per head, this presents a significant income stream. A USDA-approved $50,000 grant is in place to expand from 12 to 20 pastures, opening the door for additional ventures such as field boarding, where owners can earn $250–$300 per horse per month. The agricultural potential doesn’t stop there. With opportunities for hay production, farm tours, riding lessons, hayrides, a petting zoo, and even gold panning, the possibilities are endless. Fauquier County supports local farming through its annual fall farm tour, which draws approximately 2,000 visitors and offers free advertising. Depending on how the land is utilized, the county will promote your farm as part of its broader agricultural initiatives. Outdoor enthusiasts will also appreciate the property’s appeal for fishing and hunting. The current owners generated $6,000 from deer hunting alone. The land was fully timbered in 2021, offering future timber value. A tranquil pond enhances the scenic backyard. Structures on the property include a 3-stall barn and a second barn used as a nursery, both providing flexible options for equestrian or livestock needs. Additional highlights include a 100×200 riding arena site, winter strip grazing setup, and a 200-amp electrical breaker. Approximately $200,000 has been invested in premium fencing. Two wells support the property—one for the residence and one dedicated to agricultural use. The home features HVAC, running water, and a working toilet. An adjacent lot includes a Verizon tower, providing excellent cell service. Plus, $50K in USDA-approved upgrades are ready to be completed. Whether you’re looking to establish a working farm, launch a multi-faceted agri-business, preserve a historic estate, or invest in a truly one-of-a-kind property, this land offers a rare blend of history, functionality, and limitless future potential.
