Palatine Hill located in Etlan, Virginia, is a 230-year-old farm on rolling hills, with the recently-updated farmhouse situated 800 feet high, and first purchased by a Revolution-era Colonel in 1795 for 60 Pounds Sterling. The farm faces Old Rag Mountain to the north. Settlers began to populate the land beginning in the 18th Century, through the Civil War, when Stonewall Jackson camped in nearby Madison, through the Roaring 1920's, until today. Local residents recall when the library was once a post office, and farmers worked the dairy farm on the land. The views of Old Rag through two large picture windows, of the farmhouse, is one-of-a-kind: the famous mountain large in the foreground, variously snow-capped in the winter and neon orange, in Blue Ridge autumn mornings. Sunrises to the east, are equally a spectacular orange, across a broad sky, in the summer, while sunsets to the west, toward nearby Graves Mountain, delight in their red and pink brilliance. Nights throughout the year reveal a brilliantly dark county sky, speckled with dazzling stars. There is no light pollution and plenty of quiet, allowing you to gaze in peaceful amazement at nature's splendor. This is a working hay farm.
