Rarely does a property of this caliber become available in Jefferson County. This extraordinary 20-acre equestrian estate seamlessly blends the timeless charm of an early 1800s Three-bedroom, easily four, 2.5-bath stone home with thoughtfully designed horse facilities, exceptional outdoor living spaces, breathtaking mountain views, and the investment potential of two independently buildable 10-acre parcels.
Tucked away at the end of a quiet dead-end road, the property offers remarkable privacy while remaining just minutes from historic Harpers Ferry and within easy commuting distance of Northern Virginia. A picturesque tree-lined drive welcomes you home, bursting with spectacular fall color each autumn, while mature woodlands, neighboring farmland, and a scenic portion of Elk Run create a peaceful setting rarely found today.
The beautifully maintained historic residence showcases original wide-plank hardwood floors, exposed stone walls, and two wood-burning fireplaces, preserving nearly two centuries of craftsmanship. A thoughtfully designed addition blends seamlessly with the original home, while the light-filled sunroom captures panoramic views of the surrounding countryside.
Designed with both horse and rider in mind, the equestrian facilities are truly turnkey. The six-stall center-aisle barn features attached individual sacrifice paddocks for each stall, abundant lighting, ceiling outlets for safely installing stall fans, a wash stall with hot and cold water, a tack room, and a full loft offering exceptional storage or future finishing potential (subject to approvals). Two additional storage sheds accommodate hay and bulk bedding, while a substantial 26' x 50' garage provides ample room for tractors, trailers, equipment, and farm implements.
The professionally engineered expansive riding arena features a geotextile fabric base, layered gravel foundation, bluestone, and premium silica sand footing, with additional crumb rubber will convey. Six interconnected four-board oak-fenced paddocks provide exceptional flexibility for turnout and pasture management, connected by strategically placed gates and separated by an ample alley that allows direct access to the arena without traveling through occupied pastures. Frost-free automatic waterers, and a large run-in shed complete the exceptional equestrian amenities.
Beyond the arena, enjoy open areas and wooded portions of the property that offer opportunities to establish or restore trails for horseback riding, hiking, nature walks, or ATV adventures. Beautifully designed outdoor entertaining spaces surround both the home and barn, featuring multiple gathering areas, patios, and an impressive custom stone fire pit with generous seating for family and friends.
Whether you're seeking a private country estate, premier horse farm, boutique boarding or training facility, or a unique investment opportunity, this exceptional property offers a rare combination of historic character, modern equestrian infrastructure, outstanding privacy, and long-term potential. Properties that successfully combine authentic 19th-century architecture, professionally developed equestrian facilities, and future development opportunities are extraordinarily rare. This is one of them.
