Discover one hundred and eighteen acres of farmland at Bushy Park Farm, located along one mile of the beautiful Rappahannock River. This idyllic setting is perfect for an Airbnb farm vacation rental, complete with access to a private beach.
Bushy Park Farm, located in the Tidewater area of Virginia, was a prize-winning dairy farm until 1993. Named after Bushy Park Creek, which flows through the property, the farm was purchased in 1939 by Edward C. Anderson and is currently owned and managed by his descendants as Bushy Park Farm LLC. This scenic location spans 118 acres along the Rappahannock River, where we cultivate corn, wheat, and soybeans. In addition to these fields, Bushy Park Farm LLC also owns several nearby parcels, including 91 acres of crop fields and 103 acres of woodland. Our charming three-bedroom farmhouse is available for vacation rental through Airbnb and is surrounded by the 91 acres of fields, offering guests exclusive access to our mile of private beach.
There are many exciting possibilities for Bushy Park Farm's mile of sandy beach and acres of undeveloped riverfront land along the Rappahannock River. The silos present a unique opportunity for conversion into stunning homes with breathtaking views, perfect for an Airbnb. Additionally, the old commercial milking parlor and show barn could be transformed into a charming restaurant and event space. The farmland can be preserved as open space, or it could be developed into a farm vacation rental community with access to a private beach. While the farm is not currently for sale, the family is exploring various ideas and options. We would love to hear your suggestions!
Locals call it "shark's tooth beach." There are also many other fossils to find, like the occasional whale vertebra and a profusion of "Chesapecten jeffersonius," fossilized scallop shells from the early Pliocene epoch, 4-5 million years ago. We are working on offering beach access to Middlesex residents and visitors. Check here or on Facebook for updates.
