Land Description

A carefully planned prepper retreat of 60 acres, Goshen Outpost is an organically managed farm on an 1837 homestead in rural Virginia. Accessible with paved state road frontage yet private and sheltered with a long common boundary with Jefferson National Forest, this sanctuary of self-sufficiency coveys lock, stock, and barrel - fully outfitted with equipment and supplies to survive and thrive.

Deep rich soils, level to gently rolling topography, southern exposure, well configured boundary, abundant water supply, and a bountiful hardwood forest all made Goshen Outpost a desirable homestead when established in 1837. Generations of the original family were stewards of the property until the current owners acquired it after an exhaustive search for the ideal independent prepper retreat and enhanced it with thoughtful sustainable infrastructure.

Two gardening hoop houses, over a half-acre of 8ft fenced gardens, fruit trees and berry planting, grape arbor, beehives, solar array, sawmill, solar powered and hand-pump prolific well, potting shed, guest cabin/studio, and a plethora of durable tools, equipment, and supplies contribute to a fully stocked retreat.

The original log house features rustic charm and practicality with 3 bedrooms, 1 bath, wood heat stove, wood cookstove, durable vintage electric appliances, original architectural details, and new wood siding from trees felled and sawn on site. Modern communications available with fiber optic internet and strong cell signal. Though designed for off-grid living, existing grid power is extremely reliable due to being on a feeder line from substation, making it a high priority for service.

This unrestricted parcel is fully surveyed with well-marked boundary including over 3,000 feet of common boundary with National Forest Service land. Forested public land makes up the entire watershed flowing into the property. There are no easements or rights of way into or through the land expect for the powerline that serves the property and a neighbor having shared access to the driveway entry, which is fully owned by Goshen Outpost. Located in sparsely populated region of western Virginia yet close to the charming small town of Goshen, convenient to Lexington, Virginia, and a 3-hour drive from Dc.

Extensive list of personal property to convey provided to serious prospects, but includes a Ford F-250, Ford F-100, Wood Mizer sawmill, 2 John Deere tractors, cider press, lawn and garden equipment, 5-year supply of firewood, and a multitude of hand tools. Property sale also includes, at buyer's discretion, a 10-year term of on-site property management by qualified organic farmer and military veteran.
