Overview
A unique opportunity exists to acquire nine buildings and a one-acre parcel of land in the historic village of Markham, Fauquier County, Virginia. Markham, originally known as Farrowsville, served as a northern point for a stage line connecting to the Culpeper Court House. It was a milling center with at least eight mills in the early 19th century. Renamed in the 1850s by railroad pioneer Edward C. Marshall, it grew as a strategic transportation hub for the Manassas Gap Railroad. The location is just off I-66 at exit 18. The town was vibrant in the 1800s with two hotels, a grocery store, tavern, cobbler's shop, train station, and boarding houses. The properties include: the Post Office building at 11524 Old Markham Rd., which is currently leased to the U.S. Postal Service; the Train Station on Old Markham Rd.; the Yellow Hotel and Tanner Shop at 11527 Old Markham Rd.; the Green Hotel and a two-story house at 11521 Old Markham Rd.; a two-story stone house at 3229 Railstop Rd.; a two-story frame house at 3228 Railstop Rd. (a section of this parcel with a small structure will be split off and retained by seller prior to settlement); a vacant house at 3234 Railstop Rd.; and 1.09 acres of vacant land at 0 Railstop Rd. Rental houses and duplexes are on short-term leases. A ground lease of $2,200 per annum is paid to the Norfolk Southern Railroad for the train station. The Chateau O'Brien Winery is located on adjoining land. This portfolio 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.
