Property Description

Spring Hill - Rarely on the market, this period property has been owned by only four families over the last 250+ years. Once a farm of over 900 acres, the home remains completely surrounded by fields and pastures. Known since at least 1816 as Spring Hill Farm, the home sits on nearly 20 acres of secluded Virginia countryside, offering a magnificent combination of history, privacy, original period details and modern amenities. Thoughtfully redone in 2003/2004, the home offers nearly 3700 square feet of living space on two floors, with an elegant formal living room, large dining room, family room, a separate study/office with attached full bath, spacious bedrooms, five bathrooms, 3 working woodburning fireplaces, and a large fully modernized kitchen with attached butler's pantry. A large roofed back porch along with two outdoor patios provide ample opportunity for alfresco dining and entertaining. Unlike many period homes, storage room abounds, with a huge walk-in closet in the master bedroom, 4 spacious linen closets, and a separate laundry/sewing room on the second floor. Original floors, gorgeous old hand-made doors and wood trim throughout most of the home add to its charm, while custom historically appropriate built-in bookcases, cabinetry and wainscoting enhance its style and functionality. The oldest section of the home has been dated by architectural historians to ca 1770, with a major addition ca 1815 across the front of the home. Like many period homes, numerous additions over its 250+ years have added quirky charm. Mature deciduous evergreen and flowering trees abound. The property is eligible for inclusion on both the Virginia and the National Registers of Historic Places. Numerous period outbuildings remain, as well as a modern three bay equipment building converted to a woodworking shop. Four of the original outbuildings have undergone historically accurate renovation/stabilization. A large livestock barn is suitable for renovation as an equestrian barn with adjoining acreage that could be fenced. Call today to set up a time to see this lovely historic property!
