Property Description
Nestled in a private valley where the Jackson River descends into Richardson Gorge, Folly Farm is a rare, generational estate opportunity in the heart of Bath County. Originally built in the early 1800s, this historic property has been painstakingly restored, seamlessly blending its rich heritage with the finest luxuries of modern living. Spanning 40 pristine acres, including over a third of a mile of private river frontage on both banks, the property offers a main residence and a charming guest cottage affectionately known as the ?Doghouse,? totaling 8 bedrooms. Folly Farm is designed for seamless indoor-outdoor entertaining. Unwind in the screened-in ?Riverhouse? perched directly on the water?s edge, or spend sunny afternoons by the heated pool and pool house. From a custom mini-golf hole to world-class fly fishing right in your backyard, the outdoor pursuits are endless. While offering total seclusion, this private sanctuary is just a ten-minute drive from the historic Omni Homestead Resort, offering effortless access to world-class golf, dining, and spa amenities.,Soapstone Counter,Wood Cabinets,Fireplace in Bedroom,Fireplace in Dining Room,Fireplace in Family Room,Fireplace in Study/Library
