County/City: Culpeper

Subdivision: NONE

One of the State’s finest examples of Classical Revival/Neoclassical architecture, sited on 716-acres of rolling, highly productive crop land and pasture land with nearly 1.5 miles of frontage on the Rapidan River. The home is instantly recognizable with its 4 massive Doric columns and “M” shaped copper roof. Built in 1854, the well-proportioned residence with 11+ foot ceilings was meticulously restored by high-end contractor, Alexander Nicholson, to its present condition. The restoration kept the original doors, mantels, woodwork, and most of the heart pine floors intact. Listed on the National Register and VA Landmarks Register. The Rapidan River and its lowlands offer endless recreation including canoeing/kayaking, fishing and some of the area’s best duck hunting (enhanced by duck impoundment pond). Additional improvements include a restored, period summer kitchen/office, guest cottage, conservatory, pool and pool house, stables, managers cottage and farm infrastructure.
