Graham's Farm

Where The Wilderness Is Alive

If you can imagine those cool crisp mornings just after sunrise when the rays shine off the fall foliage, the morning breeze whispers among the leaves and the landscape looks as if it is bursting with color, then you can imagine Graham's Farm.

Graham's Farm is a contiguous 1470 acre tract in Patrick County Virginia. Patrick is on the eastern slope of the Blue Ridge Mountains, adjoining the Blue Ridge Parkway, half way between Roanoke Virginia and Greensboro, North Carolina. It is an area renowned for its beautiful scenery and abundant sources of clean water from mountain streams. Four major rivers begin in the county, the Dan, Mayo, Smith and Ararat. The quiet and peaceful life, the many local attractions and amenities including wineries, music festivals, trout  fishing, along with abundant forests, wildlife and mountain scenery make it an ideal location for vacations, recreation and retirement.

The land borders Fairystone Farms, a 5400 acre State Game Commission hunting preserve, and is surrounded by thousands of acres of sparsely populated land. The property has been virtually uninhabited for almost a century and has reverted to a forested wilderness. However it enjoys good access due to the presence of numerous logging roads and wagon trails. The topography varies from level to steep and consists of a series of long north to south ridges broken up by the valleys with bold streams. The timber is a mix of red and white oak, pine and poplar. View a topo of Graham's Farm. Graham's Farm is well stocked with whitetail deer, wild turkey and some ruffed grouse, as well as numerous black bears. There is a 60 acre tract set aside to improve habitat for grouse and quail. There are also a number of non game species including coyote and cougar. Improving wildlife habitat is the main goal for Graham's Farm and there is a continuous process of selective logging and land clearing to establish feeding plots and cover.
