More About This House

Historic Ott Farm built in 1853! Original builder served in Stonewall Jackson's Brigade! Now available. Elegantly restored Shenandoah Valley Farmhouse on 10 tranquil acres. Includes spring, fencing, out-buildings. Out-buildings include a historic daub & wattle log home that could be converted into a guest house or office.. Bring your horses! Raise chickens, goats or alpacas! Pastoral setting encourages peace, quiet and privacy. 1853 Ott Farm lovingly restored, with attention to historic detail -- yet all the conveniences of modern amenities. 4 working fireplaces. Original wood floors! New Vermont Castings wood stove. Beautiful landscaping and stone patio for the enjoyment of out-door living. Surrounded by land in Conservation Easement.

Details on the fencing: The North fencing along the road is a mix of woven and barbed wire. The East fencing is six strand wire. Three of the strands are electrified by a solar charger. The South fencing is a mix of woven wire and barbed wire and ends about twenty yards into the woods.

There is run-in shed in the pasture.

Magnetic interior storm windows protect the original 1850's glass windows. These magnetic windows are used in museums — and attach very cleverly from the inside with magnets. Easy to put up and take down.

Details on the chimneys for the working fireplaces: 3 are re-cast with fire-proof cement; the chimney which serves the wood stove has a new stainless steel chimney liner.

Two heating options: 1) "Heatmor" zone, forced air heating; 2) A Green Option of using the Wood boiler which can heat the house via the same duct work as the Forced Air. Your choice is as easy as flipping a switch.

The kitchen cook stove is an amazing creation. The kitchen stove is an actual antique, called the "Modern Glenwood E", restored and converted by Good times Stove Company in Massachusetts. Now has gas burners and an electric oven!!

Ceiling fans in each bedroom, the kitchen, the living room and the sun porch.
