About This Home

As of September 2026

Discover a rare piece of Virginia history in Northern Rockbridge at Decatur Aqua, along the original site of the Valley Railroad. This unique property spans over 220 acres of rolling pastures, woods, and productive farmland consisting of multiple parcels with extensive road frontage along both Decatur and Fox Roads. The 5-bedroom, circa-1900 Valley Farmhouse enjoys a rich and storied history. Once functioning as a vibrant community hub known as Taylor's Store before transitioning into a private single-family residence. Today, the storefront and tracks are gone, but the ghost of the railroad remains etched into the landscape. You can still trace the old railroad bed winding past Raphine, stretching west of Fox Road, crossing Decatur Road at Decatur Aqua, and running parallel to Old Chapel Road. A special opportunity for farming, investment, or with a little TLC, creating your ultimate country retreat.
