A significant and historic home in Rappahannock County near Sperryville

Wellspring

35 Poortown Road, Sperryville $1,580,000

Rappahannock County is known for its unique homes and estates but rarely does a property as significant as Wellspring become available.  It is 17 acres near Sperryville with an impeccably restored historic home, guest house, pool complex, four car garage, barn and lovely landscaping.

The home is a two story stucco building that seamlessly married a new addition  with a historic four square house surrounded by boxwoods, towering trees and graceful gardens. The main house began life as a simple one over one house, circa 1880, enhanced with a cottage that was moved from several miles away in the FT Valley. Subsequently, a more properous owner moved the cottage elsewhere on the property and greatly expanded the simple home into a substantial four square house. Now the cottage has been converted into a guest house and the four square house is an integral part of the fully restored main house. The finished home is a testament to the artistry and craftsmanship of local carpenters, woodworkers and artisans.

On the first floor of the home there is a large kitchen, dining room, den, parlor and spacious living room with wet bar that opens on to a boxwood lined terrace that is ideal for entertaining. The second floor has three bedrooms, a nice full bath and a fantastic master suite with a luxury bath complete with steam shower. All together, the house has four bedrooms, three full baths, three fireplaces, and beautiful woodworking. From the flooring to the antique light fixtures no detail has been overlooked.

The four car garage has hot and cold running water and a half bath. It joins the home via a covered, brick floored portico. A subtly lit stone walkway leads to a very cute guest house that includes a full kitchen, living room, bedroom and full bath.

Another walkway leads to the pool complex. It includes a pool house with large entertaining room under rustic beams, a built in hot tub, a full compact  kitchen with Aga stove and full bath with washer and dryer. Outside is a dramatic pool with slate terrace, handmade iron railings and majestic mature landscaping.

The grounds are completely landscaped. Lush sunny lawns are interspersed with retaining walls, perennial gardens and magnificent plantings of shrubbery that are designed to have visual interest in every season. Large mature trees provide cool shade and interesting patterns of light and shadow.

The property includes an appealing and solid barn for equipment storage. It could easily be converted into a stable with two large stalls.

A propane fired emergency generator that starts automatically whenever the electricity goes out powers the entire property.
