SOLD

Beautifully sited on a rocky bluff overlooking the confluence of Kilby Run and the Hughes River, this historic farmhouse has one of the most picturesque settings of any property on the market.  The eight acre lot is naturally landscaped with rebuilt stone walls, lovely gardens, a pond and a sandy beach on the river.  The property has an expansive  rolling lawn along the river, shaded by towering Sycamores and Walnuts.  Rebuilt  remains of old stone walls, ruins of an old stone building and vestiges of the old FT Valley Road create an authentic historical ambience.  From the river, the property climbs a craggy hill to a high knoll topped by an old cemetery.  From this strategic site, there are impressive views of the Shenandoah National Park and Old Rag Mountain.

The house was originally built in 1790 and has been carefully restored to maintain its historic integrity.  It is a classic center hall two over two Virginia farmhouse with original pine floors, four fireplaces, faux grained doors and wonderful porches.  A more recent addition houses a large kitchen with  a cathedral ceiling and exposed beams.  The kitchen has a very authentic feeling with historically accurate colors and a comfortable corner heated by a large wood stove.  Downstairs there is a cozy living room with working fireplace and another large airy room that is currently set up as a dining room.  The center hall features an impressive staircase.  Upstairs there are two bedrooms, each with fireplace and a smaller center room that could be a bedroom, nursery or remodeled into a luxurious bathroom.

This is one of the most interesting, varied and pleasing properties on the market.  If you want a historic farmhouse with a spectacular setting, this property is hard to beat.  The property is conveniently located about 10 minutes from the town of Sperryville and features road frontage along Slate Mills Road and also  along Pophams Ford Road.
