HISTORIC HITCH HOLLOW FARM GOES WAY BACK
Historic Hitch Hollow Farm in Linden is offered for sale for the first time and was established by English Charter. The current owner is a direct descendant of the original Downing family that has owned the gorgeous property since the 1700s.
Once a 5,500-acre estate, this 408-acre farm is currently in four parcels. Located in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, it offers a wonderful mix of rolling hills, fenced pastureland, and woodlands, with four ponds, and scenic views in all directions.
In addition to the magnificent main residence, there are two tenant houses, one of which was the historic 1800s schoolhouse. It’s now a two-bedroom, one-bath home with a swimming pool. The other tenant house has three bedrooms and one bath and now serves as the farm manager’s home.
A gated entry and cameras provide additional privacy to the brick and stone main residence. Built in 1986, this home is sited high up, the better to enjoy the spectacular views.
There are many recent renovations, including new kitchen cabinetry, granite countertops, and appliances, new laundry machines, new carpeting in all three bedrooms, and the replacement of three of the four HVAC units.
Throughout the living area of the main level, the flooring is 12-inch wide plank oak flooring, reclaimed from a 150-year-old barn. Immediately to the left is the library, straight ahead is the spacious living room with wood burning fireplace, which is adjacent to the formal dining room.
To the right of the foyer is the family room with fireplace equipped with wood burning stove, the country kitchen, the laundry room, and the sunroom. The kitchen also has access to the two-car attached garage which has a finished room above that would be perfect for an office. To the left of the foyer are two bedrooms, each with a private bath.
This home is primarily one-level living, though the upper level features the spacious primary bedroom suite and an unfinished room for another potential bedroom or study.
Hitch Hollow Farm is highly suitable for both horses and cattle, and is located across Fiery Run Road from the 4,200-acre Marriott Ranch.
