PLEASE NOTE: WITHIN THIS 57 ACRE PARCEL, THE RESIDENCE AND 15 ACRES ARE IN A LIFE ESTATE. Once part of the famed Mellon Estate, this is exquisite land, which offers expansive views and wonderful privacy. This 57 acre parcel, is currently shown as 2 parcels for tax purposes only; however, once the life estate concludes it reverts to 1 parcel and can never be further subdivided. During the term of the Life Estate, the Purchaser is able to use the remaining 42 acres for agricultural purposes, but no additional single-family residence can be built. Within the 42 acres is a Farm Building Envelope which allows for a maximum of 5,000 sq. ft. of impervious coverage for farm buildings and farm structures. These structures must specifically support agricultural or equine activities. The forested area along Goose Creek is protected where trails are allowed, but no buildings or conversion of the forest to pasture is allowed. This 57 acre parcel was gifted to the Virginia Outdoors Foundation (VOF), who currently owns the property and holds the easement. Prospective Purchasers will be able to tour the land, but not the home and its surrounding 15 acres included in the Life Estate. The entire property is sold "As Is" and there will be no interior photos available. Knowing this is an unusual offering, buyers can view the many Documents which include: Home Inspection, Radon Report, Septic Inspection, VOF Easement, Survey, Site Plan, and Floor Plan. At Settlement, the New Purchaser will convey back the "Revised Easement to VOF". Prior to Settlement, the VOF will do a new baseline documentation report verifying all measurements for the new owner.
The proceeds of the sale of this property are being dedicated to support the Virginia Outdoors Foundation Bull Run Mountain Natural Area Preserve. One needs to approach this property from the eastern entrance of Oak Spring Road, which is a private lane and is gated beyond this property, it can no longer be accessed from Rokeby Road. PLEASE: No Drive-bys are allowed - as there are Security Cameras and this is not a through street.
