Miriam's House at Jordan River Farm is the main house on a 328 acre green estate in scenic Rappahannock County, approximately 70 miles west of Washington, D.C. The house, parts of which date back to the Colonial Period, features 3 bedrooms, two bathrooms, a large living room with two sofas, and a full kitchen including dinnerware. There is a two-tiered patio and 16 foot gazebo overlooking a one acre pond brimming over with bass, blue gill and catfish, and breathtaking views of the Blue Ridge Mountains. We also have over 1000 feet of lake frontage on a 5 acre lake with excellent fishing there as well. Jordan River Farm is about a mile across and borders on other large estates, so if you would like to hike to the Jordan River or fish the 5 acre back lake, please ask for a brief car tour and map or you could get lost! Much of the far end of the farm is in a wild and natural state, so staying here is like having your own private state park. Please keep your pets on a leash or you could easily lose them! Jordan River Farm was farmed chemical free since 1971, and was one of the first six farms in the state to be officially certified organic in 1988. The entire farm is protected in perpetuity against subdivision and toxic chemicals by the Virginia Outdoors Foundation and Chesapeake Bay Foundation easements, making it the most environmentally restricted private property in the state. We ask that you do not litter or remove plants or rocks during your stay.
We are in the heart of Virginia wine and hunt country with many wineries and riding events within a few minutes drive of the farm. Rappahannock County is also host to many fine restaurants including the world famous Inn at Little Washington. We are only a 20 minute drive from Skyline Drive, near Front Royal, Virginia. Join us in our environmental vision and experience a moment of peace at The Jordan River Farm.
