Property details
About 553 Big River Rd
A carefully planned retreat of 60 acres, Goshen Outpost is an organically managed farm on an 1837 homestead in rural VA. Accessible w/paved state road frontage yet private & sheltered by long boundary w/Jefferson Nat'l Forest, this sanctuary of self-sufficiency coveys lock, stock, & barrel - fully outfitted w/equipment & supplies to survive and thrive. Deep rich soils, level to gently rolling topography, southern exposure, abundant water supply, & a bountiful hardwood forest all made Goshen Outpost a desirable homestead when established in 1837. Generations of the original family were stewards of the property until the current owners acquired it after an exhaustive search for the ideal independent prepper retreat & enhanced it w/thoughtful sustainable infrastructure.
