Beautiful historic 1916 Farmhouse and Country Home in the Blue Ridge Mountains

Beautiful, historic Farmhouse and Country Home (circa 1916) on 45 forested acres at the foot of a tall mountain with a pristine stream that runs in front of the home. Located in Manassas Gap, gateway to the Blue Ridge Mountains and Shenandoah Valley, directly across the valley from historic African Mountain and the Southern Appalachian range. Located in a biodiversity hotspot near many historic landmarks, parks, trails, rivers, farms, country kitchens, and festival locations.

A great place for family and friends to reconnect, relax, and experience the best of nature, history, and country living. Visits by native wildlife on the grounds provide an opportunity to treasure and care for the creation and enjoy it close-up!

Located within 30 minutes of over 100 unique local attractions including rivers, parks, orchards, wineries, historic areas, local shops and boutiques, antique stores, restaurants, wildlife areas, national forests, farm produce, and farm-fresh markets including seasonal pick-your-own fruits, and festivals. A peaceful, quiet, serene, majestic, friendly, safe environment that is easy to reach but feels far away.

A wide range of fruits, vegetables, meats, dairy, eggs, and home cooked goods are available in several nearby locations, along with farm to table restaurants. Seasonal festivals in nearby towns are very active year round.

The front porch on ground level overlooks a stream complete with chairs and side tables for dining. The glassed porch on the second level overlooks the mountain and has a table and chairs for a meal with a sitting area and coffee station. The back porch faces the woods and is open-air.

Note that the home is located on 45 acres of forest at the foot of a mountain and local wildlife is present and may be seen on the grounds. We ask guests to keep pets under control to avoid any harm to wildlife. Also, because 3 Penny Acres is a historic rural mountain property, occasional seasonal insects (including stink bugs and lady bugs) may be encountered despite regular cleaning and pest management. These are common in all homes the region. They are harmless and can be easily removed by hand vacuums that are provided for house keeping along with other cleaning supplies for general use.
