A rare piece of history bordering Shenandoah National Park on one side and the Robinson River on the other, “Old Rag Homeplace” is a stunning 36.90+ acre retreat offered for the first time in over 50 years. The charming home boasts a main cabin built in 1865 from hand-hewn chestnut logs and a native stone fireplace. The house includes an open kitchen-dining area, 3 bedrooms, a loft, and 2 baths. Endless outdoor recreation awaits right at your doorstep. Located just minutes from the White Oak Canyon and Old Rag Mountain trailheads, you can easily access spectacular waterfalls and panoramic summit views. Spend your days fly fishing on the renowned Robinson, Hughes and Rose trout streams, or horseback riding from one of the few properties in the area with open acreage for horses. After a day of adventure, watch the sunset from your front porch or gather with friends at nearby DuCard Vineyards, Blue Quartz Winery/Shotwell Run Brewing, and Graves Mountain Lodge.
