Property Description
Investors, preservationists and rehabbers, here is a very unique opportunity to purchase nine+ buildings and vacant land in the historic village of Markham, VA in Fauquier County. The location is ideal, just off I-66 at exit 18.
The town was vibrant in the 1800s with two hotels, a grocery store, tavern, cobbler's shop, post office, train station and boarding houses. For the past 40 years these buildings and vacant land have been owned by one person and are now being sold together. What a great opportunity to create a destination for tourist business with a restaurant, retail shops and overnight accommodations, etc. Private train cars could be chartered from D.C. to bring guests and tourists.
The area was initially known as Farrowsville, and acted as a northern point for a stage coach line connecting to the Culpeper Court House. It was a milling center with at least eight mills in the early 19th century. Renamed in the 1850s by railroad pioneer Edward C. Marshall, it grew as a strategic transportation hub for the Manassas Gap Railroad. See the information below for more details:
The lower, center part of the Post Office building is leased to the U.S. Postal Service for a few more years. The rental houses and duplexes are on short term leases. Below are the tax I.D. numbers for the individual buildings and land. Note: the Cobbler's shop is on the same parcel as the "Green Hotel" and the rental house #3 (as identified in the photos) is on the same parcel as the "Yellow Hotel". $2,200 per annum is paid to the Norfolk Southern Railroad for ground lease associated with the train station.
