Overview
Historic Markham Village Investment Opportunity
A unique opportunity exists to purchase nine buildings and vacant land in the historic village of Markham, Virginia, located in Fauquier County, just off I-66 at exit 18. The town of Markham, once a vibrant community in the 1800s, included two hotels, a grocery store, a tavern, a cobbler's shop, a post office, a train station, and boarding houses. The properties, owned by one person for the past 40 years, are now being sold together. This presents an opportunity to create a destination for tourist business with a restaurant, retail shops, and overnight accommodations. Private train cars could be chartered from D.C. to bring guests and tourists. The area, initially known as Farrowsville, acted as a northern point for a stage coach 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 by railroad pioneer Edward C. Marshall, it grew as a strategic transportation hub for the Manassas Gap Railroad. The lower, center part of the Post Office building is leased to the U.S. Postal Service for a few more years, and the rental houses and duplexes are on short term leases. There is a $2,200 per annum ground lease paid to the Norfolk Southern Railroad associated with the train station. The property includes 11524 Old Markham Rd., (Post Office) currently leased to the US Post Office, Old Markham Rd., (Train Station), 11527 Old Markham Rd., (Yellow Hotel +Tanner Shop), 11521 Old Markham Rd., (Green Hotel + 2 Story House), 3229 Railstop Rd., (2 Story Stone House), 3228 Railstop Rd., (2 Story Frame House) a section of this parcel with a small structure will be split off and retained by seller prior to settlement, 3234 Railstop Rd., (Vacant House), 0 Railstop Rd., (1.09 Acre Vacant Land), a small vacant parcel of .10 acre, and a small vacant parcel of .0162 acre.
