272 Acres in Gordonsville, VA - $2,500,000
Jordan Farm was part of the Ambrose Madison land patent and built ca. 1825/1830 by the Daniel family in the Hall-and-Parlor plan. The core of the residence was two large formal rooms at the entry with a (then) narrow staircase to two rooms above. Shortly after 1830 more rooms were added to the rear with shed roof. Over the decades sensitive additions were made and all was recently renovated to an unsually high standard. The sawn weatherboard exterior remains and is today capped with a copper roof and copper downspouts and gutters.
In the yard of this lovely country manor is the original summer kitchen with massive stone fireplace open to two ground level rooms with a low gable loft. The original smokehouse has been used as a farm office. Improvements are completed by several barns, a three bedrooms farmworker's house, and a new two car garage.
Jordan is 272 acres equally divided ...
Jordan is 272 acres equally divided between deep pasture in the rich Davidson soil and mature hardwood forest. Jordan has long been known for its water resources of multiple springs and streams to the extent that it supplied water to the Town of Gordonsville in the late 19th century. Elevations range from 450' along Rte. 15 to 740' where it approaches the crest of the Southwest Range between Cameron and Merry Mountains.
The residence at Jordan is a Contributing Structure to the Madison-Barbour Rural Historic District. This designation, when coupled with extensive frontage on Rte. 15 and access from Cedar Mountain Road, makes Jordan an exceptional candidate for a conservation easement with the potential for substantial tax benefits to the buyer.
