Historic Snow Hill Farm – A Spotsylvania County VA Estate on 22± Acres set for Auction Announces Nicholls Auction Mktg

FREDERICKSBURG, VA, UNITED STATES, June 3, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Nicholls Auction Marketing Group, Inc., (www.nichollsauction.com) announces the auction of ""Snow Hill" -- A slice of historical charm in the heart of Spotsylvania County, VA on Thursday, June 26 according to John Nicholls, president of the company.

“The owners have thoroughly enjoyed being the stewards of this beautiful property, but desiring to be located closer to their grandchildren, they have entrusted us to market and sell this magnificent piece of Spotsylvania County history,” said Nicholls.

“Established in 1769, Snow Hill holds deep historical significance, having grown into a major plantation under Benjamin Alsop—who served under General George Washington and fought alongside the Marquis de Lafayette in the Revolutionary War. Later known as Snow Hill Plantation, the estate was also owned by Stapleton Crutchfield, whose son, Stapleton Crutchfield IV, served under General Thomas ‘Stonewall’ Jackson. The grounds bear witness to its Civil War legacy, with trenches and breastworks still visible, marking military activity on the property. Throughout its history, Snow Hill has remained a prominent estate, maintaining agricultural operations through successive generations,” said Tony Wilson, auction coordinator.

A rare opportunity awaits a new owner to buy this historic country estate which includes a well maintained 5 BR/3.5 BA manor home and a pristine 3 BR/2 BA guest house (currently an Airbnb) in excellent condition on 22.46± total acres with 8 outbuildings/barns/garages/sheds/milking parlor, 900'± of Po River frontage, building potential and conveniently located off Courthouse Road just .2 miles from the Spotsylvania Government complex noted Wilson.

The property is conveniently located off Courthouse Road .2 miles from the Spotsylvania Government complex & village, 6.5 miles to Rt.1/Thornburg, 7 miles to I-95 (Exit 118), 9 miles to Spotsylvania Regional Medical Center, 12 miles to University of Mary Washington, 13 miles to Mary Washington Hospital, and a short drive to Richmond, NOVA and DC said Wilson.
