Nestled just east of the charming town of Middleburg, Little River Run is a captivating historic estate that spans over 12 acres. The main house, circa 1790, is a stunning example of a classic Virginia fieldstone home. In 1800, the home was expanded with the addition of the central federal-style portion of the home. The top portion of the federal addition boasts an extremely rare example of Flemish bond stonework. This is believed to be the only example of such construction in America, making the house an architectural treasure. Throughout the history of the home it has served as both a private residence and as an ordinary for travelers along the trade route between Alexandria and Winchester, for which Middleburg was given its name.
The meticulous restoration of this home blends historical authenticity with modern comforts creating a unique blend of old-world charm and contemporary luxury.
The house has undergone a meticulous renovation. With original millwork, fireplaces, mantels, and wood floors add layers of historical significance and character to every corner of the house. The seamless integration of modern amenities into the historic setting, such as the first-floor primary suite and bath, the spacious family room off of the updated gourmet kitchen, a coveted bunk-room on the second floor and a finished third floor with bath ensures a comfortable living experience while honoring the property's past.
The grounds are beautifully landscaped, with sweeping lawns, formal gardens, and expansive terraces - perfect for outdoor entertaining, the large pool area with flagstone patio is ideal for relaxation or hosting guests.
Notably, several of the original outbuildings remain on the property, adding further character to the estate. Close to the home is a stone summer kitchen, carefully restored and complete with electricity, a large corn crib, and located on the west side of the lawn, you'll find the ruins of a 19th-century bank barn - its foundation, banked entryway, and silo foundation still stand - offering a glimpse into the property's storied past.
A large detached carriage house with workshop and 5 bays on the lower level can accommodate a fleet of vehicles. The upper level of the carriage house is a beautiful fully finished living space. The carriage house upper level consists of a large bedroom with built-ins, a spacious open living area with a complete kitchen and a separate full bath.
The combination of historical significance, unique construction, and beautifully restored living spaces makes Little River Run, a rare and exceptional opportunity.
