Oakley Farm is a historic home and farm located near Warm Springs, Bath County, Virginia. It was built in 1834, as a two-story side-passage form dwelling with a one-story front porch with transitional Federal / Greek Revival detail. It was later expanded and modified to a one-room-deep center passage plan dwelling with a two-story ell. The house was remodeled in the Colonial Revival style in 1921-1922, and a two-story kitchen and service wing was added. Also on the property are a contributing laundry and wood house and a garage, both built in 1922; a 19th-century log cabin that may originally have served as a slave cabin; a Long Barn and a machinery shed (ca. 1905); two stables of Colonial Revival design dating to the 1920s or early 1930s; and a fieldstone wall.[3]

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2007.[1]
