LONE OAK FARM

The 294-acre Lone Oak Farm is named for the farm's last remaining old growth white oak. This virgin white oak once had a sister oak standing beside her until just a few years ago when that tree surrendered to old age and died, leaving the Lone Oak.

The Lone Oak stands on the estate grounds near the original 1850s farmhouse. This magnificent tree is nearly 20 feet in circumference and is one of the largest remaining old growth (virgin) white oaks in the Commonwealth of Virginia. The Lone Oak is estimated to be 200-300 years old and thought to have been witness to some 100,000 sunrises and sunsets.
