Public Sale of Valuable Real Estate 
In the County of Fairfax, Va. 
H AVING concluded to subdivide and sell my real estate, 
in the County of Fairfax, I shall offer at public auction, 
at Fairfax Court House, in the Slate of Virgin,a, on Monday 
the 21sJ day of November next, a very valuable pioperty in 
real estate, containing about FOUR THOUSAND FIVE 
HUNDRED ACHES, which will be divided into farms of 
about KJO'Acrf.s, running in straight lines, and it practicable 
to allot a dwelling house to each lot. By this arrangement 
an opportunity will be afforded to persons to purchase small 
farms, to secure comfortable homes, to cultivate, and improve 
the property. The residue of the estate, about .‘1,500 Acres 
isffor sale by private contract. 
This property includes that portion of the estate of the late 
Thomas Fairfax, called the RESERVE. It commences 
about six miles from Fairfax Court House, and extends 
thence westwardly, nearly to Fryingpan Meeting House, 
and northwardly io the village of Branesville; is about 18 
miles from the City of Alexandria, and the same distance from 
Georgetown and Washington, D. C., to which there arejj'ood 
Macadamized Roads. Having been the “RESERRE,” 
there is, upon a large portion of this land, an immense quan¬ 
tity of valuable timber, of the original growth, consisting of 
yellow pine, white and red oak, chestnut and hickory. The 
soil consists of a clayey loam, in every respect suitable for 
wheat, corn,- and grass, and rests upon a clay sub soil. There 
is no estate m Virginia, better watered ; it abounds with the 
purest aiid most limpid streams, and springs that never fail. 
The climate and health of this locality, are well known, being 
unsurpassed in this respect There are a number of Dwel¬ 
ling Houses, orchards, and other improvements upon this 
property, many of which are quite comfortable. The Mid¬ 
dle Turnpike Road, leading from Alexandria to Leesburg, 
runs through this property, upon which there will be laid off 
eight farms, binding upon the Turnpike road. The Alexan¬ 
dria, Loudoun, and Hampshire Railroad, \\ ill run right across 
this estate, and it is ihought, very near its centre, bringing it 
by Railroad, within 10 miles of Alexandria, Georgetown, and 
Washington City, D. C. And by special agreement with the 
Railroad Company, there is to be a depot on this property, to 
which there will be opened convenient roads. As soon as 
the necessary surveys can be made, Plats will be exhibited, 
showing the precise locality of the’several farms, the situa¬ 
tion of the dwellings, timber, wood and water. Persons who 
wish to purchase, are requested to examine this estate, as it 
is believed to he the best opening either for large or small 
farms, which has ever been offered, in this rapidly improving 
section of the country. The title to this property is unques¬ 
tionable.
