A Rare Historic Estate with Over 100 Acres in Scenic Jefferson County, WV Truly a one-of-a-kind gem with deep roots in history! Originally established in 1804, this remarkable property spans over 100 acres of rolling pastures and active Christmas tree fields, and is protected under the Jefferson County Farm Land Protection Easement. Managed by Dan and Bryan Holler, the Christmas tree farm adds charm and functionality to this working agricultural estate. A local farmer is maintaining the pastures. Tucked away on peaceful country roads, the journey to the farm is part of the magic. Once you arrive and make your way down the long driveway, you're greeted by breathtaking views of tree-covered hills, open fields, and distant mountains—a perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of city life. The 4-bedroom, 2-bath farmhouse offers a spacious family room and timeless character. Additional structures include a well-built milking/bank barn, a run-in shed, a well house, a spacious workshop/garage—ideal for storage, agricultural use, or even potential event space. You'll also find historical artifacts throughout the property that speak to its storied past. Whether you're looking to farm, invest, or simply enjoy the land, this property offers endless possibilities. The location strikes the perfect balance between privacy and convenience, situated just 70 miles from Washington, D. C. , and minutes from the MARC commuter train. With majestic views, rich agricultural potential, and a 180-day growing season, Jefferson County is a haven for both full-time and part-time farmers. Close proximity to local markets makes this area ideal for livestock, crops, winery, microbrewery, equestrian, or horticultural operations. Leasing farmland to existing operators is also a viable option. This is a rare opportunity to own a legacy property in one of West Virginia's most scenic and fertile regions.

The purpose of this district is to provide a location for low density single family residential development in conjunction with providing continued farming activities. This district is generally not served with public water or sewer facilities although certain size developments processed under the cluster provision of Section 5.7D(2) may choose to do so. A primary function of the low density residential development permitted within this section is to preserve the rural character of the County and the agricultural community. All lots subdivided in the Rural District are subject to Section 5.7D. The Envision Jefferson 2035 Comprehensive Plan recommends that the cluster provision of the Zoning Ordinance be the preferred method of residential development in the Rural zoning district.
