A True Equestrian Estate
Some farms are working properties. Shotwell Farm is a world unto itself.
Set on 172 rolling acres in the heart of Jefferson County, this recognized landmark has been shaped by generations of serious equestrian purpose and it shows in every detail. A canopied drive leads to a gracious Southern Living-style residence, while a separate entrance guides guests directly to facilities that speak for themselves.
At the center of it all stands a 37,857-square-foot main barn, a fully realized operation complete with 29 stalls, an 80' x 300' indoor arena, wash stall, reception area, two offices, laundry, and three staff apartments. A dedicated 12,000-square-foot breeding facility and a 2,520-square-foot maintenance shop with full utilities round out the core infrastructure, bringing the total stall count to 68. Two 6,000-square-foot structures handle hay and equipment storage, and 29 automatic waterers ensure the farm runs without interruption.
The pastures are enclosed by over 18,000 linear feet of four-rail blackboard fencing and 7,500 feet of top-rail fencing with diamond wire. This is a perimeter that signals, unmistakably, that this is a property built to perform.
A detached garage with a two-bedroom apartment, a three-bedroom manager's home, and proximity to both the Charles Town Racetrack and the Virginia border complete a picture that is remarkably rare: a true equestrian estate, ready to work from day one.
Shotwell Farm does not need to be imagined. It simply needs its next chapter.
Inside the House
The main residence at Shotwell Farm sets the tone from the moment you arrive. A tree-lined drive leads to a gracious Southern Living-style home built in 2003, 4,310 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space with 4 bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms, and classic farmhouse character throughout.
Inside, you'll find hardwood floors, four fireplaces, a gourmet kitchen with island, formal dining room, and French doors that open to the surrounding landscape. A detached garage with a two-bedroom apartment above adds flexible living options, while a separate three-bedroom manager's home provides comfortable on-site housing for staff. This is a home built for the way serious horsemen actually live.
The Farm
Spread across 172 rolling acres in the heart of Jefferson County, Shotwell Farm is a fully operational equestrian estate in move-in condition. The pastures are enclosed by 18,000 linear feet of four-rail blackboard fencing and 7,500 feet of top-rail fencing with diamond wire, a perimeter that signals intention. Twenty-nine automatic waterers, ample run-in sheds, and generous hay and equipment storage make daily operations efficient and reliable. Conveniently located minutes from the Virginia border and the Charles Town Racetrack, the farm sits at the center of one of the East Coast's premier equestrian communities.

The equestrian infrastructure at Shotwell Farm is simply without equal in this market. The 37,857-square-foot main barn features a center-aisle layout with 29 stalls, a wash stall, reception area, two offices, laundry facilities, and a generator. An 80' x 300' indoor arena, a dedicated 12,000-square-foot breeding facility and 2,520-square-foot maintenance shop with full utilities round out the core operation.
