Discover Blue Run Preserve at Barboursville, a rare opportunity to own 136± acres in the heart of Orange County’s historic and celebrated wine country. This remarkable offering combines a 126.75-acre conserved recreational tract with four additional buildable residential lots, all offered together as one exceptional landholding. Blue Run winds through the property amid a reforested landscape offering privacy, wildlife habitat, recreation and the enduring beauty of permanently protected open space. The conservation easement also provides for a primary residence within a designated building envelope and a secondary dwelling, subject to its terms—creating exciting possibilities for a private estate, family retreat or generational property. The story of this land makes it even more extraordinary. Once threatened by open-pit mining, the property was preserved following a significant legal and conservation effort and ultimately restored through reforestation and participation in Virginia’s nutrient credit program. Today, its future is one of stewardship rather than extraction. Located near James Madison’s Montpelier, Barboursville Vineyards, and Woodberry Forest School, Blue Run Preserve offers an increasingly difficult-to-find combination of scale, privacy, recreational opportunity, defined residential rights and permanent conservation protection in one of Central Virginia’s most distinctive rural landscapes.
