Take the most elegant Victorian farmhouse imaginable, and position it "just so" alongside the Hughes river and against the Shenandoah National Park, then cap it off with some of the most stunning views of Old Rag Mountain, and you have the spectacular Brandy Mill Farm.

Today, this fantastic property is a private residence with an appeal to the sportsman and outdoor enthusiast. Hunting, fishing and wildlife observation await at the front door, while every creature comfort is available inside.

Grounds
The real beauty of Brandy Mill Farm are the forests, fields, and river, and the dramatic scenery of the neighboring Shenandoah National Park. The Park surrounds the property on its western boundary. The Hughes River meanders through the property over dramatic rock outcroppings. Formal plantings give way to wilderness and the old mill race spills back into the rugged Hughes River.
While currently maintained as a sporting retreat, Brandy Mill Farm has a number of potential agricultural uses, including an equestrian center, small livestock farm, orchard, or vineyard.
