About this home
17.86-Acre German Farmhouse with Imported Tiled Stove | Plug-n-Play Shenandoah Valley Farm
Discover 729 Swover Creek Rd, Edinburg—a nearly 18-acre, pesticide-free farmstead where sustainable agriculture meets German-inspired architecture in the heart of Shenandoah County. Current owners have transformed this property into a turn-key homestead with horse stalls in front and back fields, a wood-chip mulched food forest, selectively cleared woodland (promoting oaks, walnut, hazelnut, and 3 heavy-producing chestnut trees), and electric/water access on every side for ultimate flexibility.
The German-designed farmhouse is truly one-of-a-kind! At the entry, an embedded four-panel European heraldic plaque bears the civic arms of Oberkirch, Ortenberg, Offenburg, and Rammersweier—communities in Germany’s Ortenau region. More than ornament, this distinctive architectural detail offers a tangible introduction to the home’s German-inspired design, echoed inside by the large stained glass window in the foyer, exposed wood-beam ceilings that span the kitchen and living rooms, multiple balconies framing mountain views, and an imported German tiled wood stove/oven that sits centrally—efficiently heating the entire home all winter while providing authentic wood-fired cooking capability. The new roof and whole-house generator provide the new owners long-term security and peace of mind.
Previously owned by Dallas Mayor and U.S. Congressman Steve Bartlett as a family vacation retreat, this property carries a unique historical legacy while offering modern functionality. Wildlife abounds—wild turkeys, deer, and abundant birdlife create a peaceful, connected-to-nature lifestyle.
Location is ideal: Close to the Shenandoah River and George Washington National Forest (hiking, ATV trails), centered between Winchester and Harrisonburg, and minutes from shopping and restaurants in Woodstock and Mt. Jackson.
Whether you're seeking a plug-n-play farm, an equestrian property, a family homestead, or a peaceful retirement retreat, this enduring farmstead offers it all. Bring your vision and make your dream a reality! As the current owner reflects: "Whomever buys this property will be tremendously blessed by the quality of life offered here. This really is a special place."
