    What's special

    Total seclusionDedicated home office
    Investor Special – Bring Your Contractor & Vision! Set on nearly 13 peaceful acres, this former home of Fairfax County Judge John A. Rothrock is a prime candidate for a full-scale restoration. The home is priced with its condition in mind and will require significant capital repairs, including a brand-new roof and comprehensive updates throughout, making it ideal for an investor, seasoned rehabber, or ambitious buyer looking to build major equity. Beyond the work required, the layout and footprint offer exceptional versatility. Inside, multiple separate living areas provide the space needed for extended guests, a dedicated home office, or custom multi-generational quarters once renovated. The detached barn features a self-contained one-bedroom, one-bathroom apartment that presents tremendous upside as a future guest suite or income-producing rental, subject to local regulations. Outdoors, the expansive, private acreage offers unlimited room for gardens, hobby farming, or outdoor entertaining. You'll enjoy total seclusion while staying just a short drive from Warrenton, Culpeper, major commuter corridors, Shenandoah National Park, and five vineyards within five minutes. Property is being sold as-is. Bring your contractor, evaluate the possibilities, and capitalize on a rare combination of history, land, and massive value-add potential at 491 Viewtown Rd.
