In the early days of Virginia, the area now comprised of the counties of Highland and Bath was considered the frontier and its mountainous terrain and rural character still give the area the feeling of being wonderfully removed. Public lands cover more than half of Bath County and about 30 percent of Highland County. The area has a well-deserved reputation as a destination playground for outdoor enthusiasts. The rugged Allegheny Mountains serve as the area's backdrop and provide endless hiking, horseback riding, and mountain biking, while the surrounding rivers and streams are known for some the best fly fishing in Virginia. The cold, clear waters of the endless mountain streams and the Jackson River hold excellent populations of rainbow, brown, and native brook trout, and warmer water rivers such as the Cowpasture hold trout seasonally, as well as smallmouth bass and other warm water species.

Twenty-five minutes from Highlands Farm is the renowned Homestead Resort and the charming town of Hot Springs. The Homestead traces its roots to 1766, and the modern resort dates from 1888. Today the resort features two championship golf courses, a ski slope, skeet range and sporting clays, and many other amenities. For relaxation, there is the Homestead Spa, as well as a number of great restaurants and shops in Hot Springs and Warm Springs.

The reliably agreeable summer weather, unrivaled scenery, access to public lands, and year-round activities make the area a continuously popular destination for people throughout the Commonwealth and Mid-Atlantic.

RECREAIONAL CONSIDERATIONS

One of the standout aspects of the Highlands Farm is the on-site recreation. Roads and trails are present throughout the farm and a well-developed trail system overlays the wooded acreage. The trails are perfect for hiking, trail running, horseback riding, mountain biking, or ATV's. Although there are no horses currently on the farm, the pasture area is fenced and stands ready to welcome equestrians, and the facilities could easily be expanded and improved if the next owner were so inclined.

Wildlife populations on the property are substantial and healthy; deer, black bear, turkey, squirrels, songbirds, raptors, amphibians, reptiles, and a wealth of insects, are all present and commonly seen. Nature viewing is currently a focus at the farm; there are ample opportunities to develop wildlife habitat, a hunting program and expand the opportunities to view nature in all seasons.

Beyond the farm, recreation opportunities continue and the vast amount of public land in Bath and Highland Counties beckons outdoor enthusiasts. Similarly convenient are the celebrated golf and sporting amenities of the Homestead Resort, offering an unusually balanced range of activities for a property in such a rural location. West Virginias largest Ski Resort and Events destination is an easy 90 minutes drive from the farm.
