Hazeland Farm is over 764 acres bordering Rappahannock and Culpeper Counties in Boston, Virginia with the Hazel River meandering through it. The farm is rich in character and historic charm with gorgeous mountain views and over a mile of frontage on the Hazel River. Streamside management zones have been well protected over the years for access. There is an abundant wildlife habitat sprinkled with wild turkey, deer, fox, songbirds, and rabbits. Hazeland was once the home of a renowned local fox hunter who purchased it to keep his foxhounds from getting onto the main roads. Hazeland is currently used for cattle and hay. The "north side" of the River on Turkey Ridge Rd made approx. 1000 large round hay bales this season from 358 acres which are approx. 2/3 open land and 1/3 wooded. On the south side of the river, at the end of Hazeland Lane, there is over 406 acres of fenced cattle pasture land with spring fed streams and mixed timber with many hilltop views of Skyline Dr. There are multiple access points from the state roads. The farm is a wonderful retreat from the northern Virginia traffic and lifestyles yet only about an hour's drive to Dulles airport. On the South side, is the main complex with it's 5BR; 3.5 BA antebellum style home. The large screened porch hosts wonderful views of the pond and further out onto a large river bottom where the wildlife comes to graze at dusk. The peacefulness is something to experience at the end of a long day. The pre-Civil war home has been keep in good condition with many original features but still needs some updating. The farm is eligible for conservation easement, if the buyer so desires further preservation and tax credits.
