The preeminent stone manor house has had many additions over time added by previous owners such as Hubert B. Phipps and Thomas Mellon Evans. With no details spared, it now boasts 7 bedrooms, 8.5 bathrooms and 8 fireplaces with stunning views of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Notable Washington DC architect Merle Thorpe oversaw the extensive renovations, and the house offers an understated elegance that combines both formal rooms along with comfortable family spaces. The large portico off the back of the house provides a wonderful area for entertaining. The surrounding gardens and plantings were brought to life by landscape architect Michael V. Barlett, and local landscape designers Nicole Seiss and Virginica. Dotted amongst mature hardwood trees are old stone walls with lush garden beds, an ornamental water garden, boxwood parterre and a pond. Near the main house is a two-story log cabin and a one room stone summer kitchen. Other outbuildings include two tenant houses, a 15-stall horse barn, over 8 fenced paddocks many with run-in sheds. Located within the Piedmont hunt territory with tremendous ride out. The property is located within the Cromwells Run Historic District and is protected by a Virginia Outdoors Foundation (VOF) Conservation Easement. A property with the historic provenance such as this does not come on the market very often. This is a rare opportunity to live in one of the Middleburg areas most prominent estates.
