Big Run Farm’s gently rolling hills were originally home to the popular regional horse races. The iconic red barn remains solid and true, with noted historical significance. In 2003, a large main home was built on the substantial acreage. The original cottage, a barn complete with living space and the main house all offer peace and privacy. One of our finest listings on the market!
New and old are blended perfectly throughout this property, allowing for the best of both worlds. The main home is perched on a beautiful ridge overlooking the plentiful pastures and Old Rag Mountain! This is an authentic timber frame home constructed with rare, incredibly strong, heart of pine beams from long leaf pine trees. The main home has a luxurious master suite with loft area, walk in closet and more space to enjoy the views..have your morning coffee on your master bedroom’s balcony while overlooking this stunning farm!
Exotic materials include: copper, Brazilian soap stone, extensive natural stone masonry, mahogany, slate, heart of pine, chestnut, and a hand carved staircase. The incredible attention to detail and artistic whimsy is noticeable throughout the entire 150 +/- Acres and stunning main home.
