Property Description
This listing consists of 2 parcels, 3 tracts totaling 21 acres off Moormont Road on Clark's Mountain in Rapidan. This is truly a magnificent piece of land not only in natural beauty but in historical significance. These 21 acres are part of what was once known as Possum Hollow. Possum Hollow is believed to be the largest African - American settlement which arose after Emancipation in Orange County. Multiple families settled here and began new lives. These 21 acres belonged to one of the original settlers in Possum Hollow, The Yarbroughs. As you walk along the road to enter the property, you'll be met by the sights and sounds of a healthy stream, fed by natural springs, which runs through the entire property. Amongst the mature hardwood timbers of oak, maple, pecan, walnut and tulip poplar, you will see the remains of an old home, pots and farming implements, relics of the land's former inhabitants. As the property slopes up the southern side of Clark's Mountain, with some clearing, stunning views of the rolling pastures below can be taken in as well as a south westerly view of the Blue Ridge Mountains. What a homesite this would be! Park your RV onsite while you build your dream home or vacation cabin. Imagine yourself here...wooded acreage, views, a lovely stream, privacy and African - American history. There is also a 6 acre parcel for sale which adjoins this listing, This 6 acres was owned by another of Possum Hollow's original settlers: Baylor Johnson. Please see the plat map detailing the easement in documents. There are currently no conservation easements on the property which could provide a beneficial tax benefit for new owners if they choose to enroll the property in one. The property is also eligible to be divided into 5 acre parcels. This is a one - of - a kind property with SO MUCH potential! Please use caution when walking the property as there are downed trees from previous storms. Enter home at your own risk, structure is compromised and unstable.
