3229 Railstop Rd Markham, VA 22643

A unique opportunity exists to acquire nine buildings and vacant land in the historic village of Markham, Virginia, located in Fauquier County, just off I-66 at exit 18. The area, once known as Farrowsville, served as a northern point for a stage line connecting to the Culpeper Court House and was a milling center with at least eight mills in the early 19th century. Renamed in the 1850s, it grew as a strategic transportation hub for the Manassas Gap Railroad. This collection of properties presents an opportunity to create a destination for tourist business with a restaurant, retail shops, and Airbnb accommodations. Private train cars could be chartered from D.C. to bring guests and tourists. Included are the Post Office building, currently leased to the U.S. Postal Service for a couple more years, rental houses and duplexes on short-term leases, the Train Station, the Yellow Hotel + Tanner Shop, the Green Hotel + 2 Story House, a 2 Story Stone House, a 2 Story Frame House, a Vacant House, and a 1.09-acre parcel of vacant land. Chateau O'Brien Winery is located on adjoining land. $2,200 per annum is paid to the Norfork Southern Railroad for ground lease associated with the train station. Note: the Cobbler's shop is on the same parcel as the "Green Hotel" and the rental house #3 is on the same parcel as the "Yellow Hotel". Also included is a one-acre parcel of land. A section of the parcel at 3228 Railstop Rd. with a small structure will be split off and retained by the seller prior to settlement. The total lot size is 0.64 acres.
