A carefully planned retreat of 60 acres, Goshen Outpost is an organically managed farm on an 1837 homestead in rural VA. Accessible w/paved state road frontage yet private & sheltered by long boundary w/Jefferson Nat'l Forest, this sanctuary of self-sufficiency coveys lock, stock, & barrel - fully outfitted w/equipment & supplies to survive and thrive. Deep rich soils, level to gently rolling topography, southern exposure, abundant water supply, & 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 & enhanced it w/thoughtful sustainable infrastructure.

Very charming home built mid to late 1800's, retaining the original wavy glass windows, heart pine floors and clapboard siding. Stunning views of the Blue Ridge Mountains in WAlbe, the sunrises and sunsets are spectacular. The 9.44 acres has Stony Run at the rear and a spring that historically provided water to numerous homes in the area via a ram pump and stored water in a concrete cistern that is still on the property. There is an old partially log structure in disrepair and we ask that no one goes into the structure because of it's condition. It would be a great restoration project. The adjoining homes in the area are of very high quality. There is a possibility that this land could be divided and two more building sites developed if all the county approvals are met. The metal roof was replaced in 2013 and the forced air furnace around 2013. An addition in 2004 added a large mud room, full bath, laundry area, side deck. The entire interior has been painted and plaster repaired. None of the fireplaces are in working order. The chimney tops were re-pointed in 2013 prior to the new roof going on. The home, all appliances & outside structures are sold in ""as is"" condition. The home needs continued restoration but worth it.
