If you were told to paint a picture of an ideal farm in the countryside of Virginia, this would be it! Brookdale Farm offers a gentle lifestyle where the breezes are cool, the stream wanders throughout the pastures, bees are making honey on the hillside & the cattle wander grazing peacefully. The farmhouse has been totally remodeled in 1995 from the walls & up. The large kitchen has lots of windows looking out onto the large stone patio. Beautiful cherry cabinets with corian countertops, jennAire range, two ovens & sub zero refrigerator & separate freezer. The 6 fireplaces all have original walnut mantles.Floors are Ash & pine with the living room having flooring where each board is 1 piece, not cut & pieced. 3 spacious bedrooms upstairs and another downstairs which is currently used as an office. There is even a servants stairway from back bedroom. A charming front porch invites you to come & sit a spell while you enjoy the peaceful serenity of your personal shangri-la!

A separate guest house has living room, full bath & bedroom upstairs with balcony. It has electric heat. There is a large barn, spring house, workshop, equipment shed, chicken house, milk house & more. You will enjoy fruit trees, walnut trees,berry bushes & vines. The property has 2 ponds-one of which is stocked with bass, catfish & bluegill & the smaller one is for trout.Large pond has its own island with a beautiful willow tree on it. Several springs feed the streams which wander throughout fields of clover, orchard grass, alfalha & timothy. Pastures are fenced/cross fenced w/board fencing.Flowers & flowering trees & shrubs add to the charm & personality of the farm as well. A special feature is a brick that was found during the remodeling of the house which has the actual date house was built, 1857 scratched into it.
