Property Description
Discover the possibilities at 3437 Oak Hill Road, a historic property nestled in the heart of Delaplane, Virginia. Set back from the road on a mostly level homesite with a circular driveway, this distinctive property offers a rare opportunity to restore and reimagine a home with deep roots in Fauquier County history.
Known as the Edward C. Smith House (also referred to as the Rubin House), this Folk Victorian-style residence dates to approximately 1905, with its stone foundation and hand-hewn beams suggesting the possibility of an even earlier origin. The property is part of the Cromwell's Run Rural Historic District, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2008 and the Virginia Landmarks Register. The historic setting once formed part of the small community of Oak Hill, established around 1808, which included a general store, tannery, blacksmith shop, brick kiln, mill, and neighboring residences.
The existing home offers approximately 3,020 square feet across four levels, including the basement, with three bedrooms, two full bathrooms, and a charming two-story wraparound porch. Original historic character and architectural elements provide an inspiring starting point for those looking to undertake a thoughtful restoration. A spring house, well pump, and additional historic outbuildings, including an old smokehouse, stable/shed, further reflect the property's rural heritage.
Enjoy picturesque pond views and access to the pond shoreline through a recreational easement, subject to the terms of the applicable recorded easement. The property also features an existing three-bedroom conventional septic system, with a previously approved plan for a new six-bedroom conventional septic system and new well location. Please note that the prior approval has expired and will need to be resubmitted for consideration.
Recognized historic properties may offer opportunities for qualifying rehabilitation tax credits, subject to applicable program requirements and approvals.
Property is being sold strictly AS-IS. This is a unique opportunity for the visionary buyer, preservation enthusiast, or investor looking to restore a distinctive piece of Virginia's architectural and agricultural heritage. Bring your imagination and explore the possibilities!
