Edgewood Farm is a historic and thoroughly improved farm located just outside of Orange, Virginia . Set against the Blue Ridge Mountains , Edgewood’s rolling topography features a balanced mix of scenic beauty, agricultural utility, and the classic lifestyle of Virginia’s hunt country. The expansive, five-bedroom, main house (circa 1853) anchors the property and is surrounded by a comprehensive set of complementing structures , including a pool and pool house, manager’s house, barns , and a fully retrofitted event space, which is comprised of several historic support structures and barns that can easily accommodate weddings and other events.

The Rapidan River traces the farm’s southern and eastern boundaries for 2.4± miles , creating a riparian buffer that further adds to the farm’s bucolic appeal. Additional water features include two stocked ponds. The pastures are actively leased for cattle grazing and hay production, while recreational trails wind throughout the land. Located ten minutes from Orange, forty-five minutes from Charlottesville, and only ninety minutes from Washington, D.C., Edgewood captures the perfect equilibrium of privacy, accessibility, recreation, and agriculture, all while providing the infrastructure and location needed to support a dynamic and engaging lifestyle. 

A standout feature of Edgewood is how its rural location is balanced by convenience and accessibility. The nearest town, Orange (population 4,975), is an appealing rural and historic town just ten minutes away. Forty-five minutes south of the farm lies Charlottesville (population 46,550), a small, dynamic city home to the renowned University of Virginia. Richmond and Washington, D.C., can both be reached in roughly 90 minutes.

Options for air travel are equally varied and convenient. Charlottesville-Albemarle is the nearest commercial airport and features multiple daily nonstop flights to hubs throughout the eastern United States. Richmond International Airport and Dulles International Airport can be reached in under 90 minutes and together offer nonstop access to 103 domestic and 52 international destinations. Private air access is also close at hand. Culpepper Regional Airport is 30 minutes away with a full-service FBO and a 5,000-foot runway.

Edgewood is accessed off Tatum’s School Road, a quiet, state-maintained paved road. The driveway into the farm is paved and meanders through the property for a half mile before reaching the main house, which is situated in the center of the property under a towering canopy of oak and poplar trees. The house dates to 1853, although the farm’s rich history extends well beyond that, and the current owner has traced the land’s title all the way back to its original King’s Grant. All utilities (including fiber-optic internet) throughout the farm are buried underground, increasing reliability and further enhancing the scenic appeal of the farm.

Immediately adjacent to the main house are the summer kitchen, cottage, guest house, pool, pool house and barns. Many of these structures are as old as the house and are used today for events and hosting guests. The variety of support structures grounds the property in history while also encapsulating the continuous evolution of Virginia farms. If a future owner decides to continue or expand the event facilities, there will be ample opportunities to do so. Slightly further afield from the main house is the four-bedroom Manager 's house and the six-bedroom Gate house, which is located near the farm entrance. Surrounding the improvements are 270± acres of gently rolling, fertile pasture, with sections of mature forest and magnificent fieldgrown hardwoods interspersed.

The enviable frontage on the Rapidan River extends for over two miles and adds recreational and scenic components to the farm. Additional water features on the farm include two ponds measuring 2.7± acres and 1.6± acres. Both ponds are stocked for fishing and feature docks for swimming and water-based recreation. Several blocks of mature hardwoods are found on the property, with the largest found near the farm entrance and along the river frontage.
