Ruined farmhouse

The ruined farmhouse is a farm west of Washington, D.C. in Virginia. This farm is on the major road linking Springvale to the Super-Duper Mart. To the south-east of this farm, there is a water tower. The closest settlement is Megaton.

Background
Two centuries past the Great War, after the Enclave arrive on the scene, they establish a camp at this farmhouse. The camp has a few Enclave soldiers and a scientist. This scientist is recording into a Research terminal field observations on the local wildlife. There are entries on the bloatfly, brahmin, and giant ant.

Layout
This farmstead consists of a two-story farmhouse, a windmill, and a silo. The farmhouse faces north-east towards Bethesda, Maryland. Across from the farmhouse's entrance, there is a windmill. Behind the farmhouse, there is an intact silo.

Inhabitants
The area is initially deserted save for the occasional wasteland creature. However, a random encounter can be triggered here, which may add a regular presence depending on the encounter. Much later, after the quest "Waters of Life", a strong Enclave presence will be felt here.

Notable loot

 * A copy of Chinese Army: Special Ops Training Manual can be found in the farmhouse.
 * There is a beach full of mirelurk eggs, which can be opened for a large amount of mirelurk meat.

Appearances
Ruined farmhouse appears only in Fallout 3.
