About 2479 Rockland Rd
Nestled deep in Virginia's famed horse country, Willow Brook has only been offered for sale four times in 245 years. c. 1780, this historic estate is tucked away on 359 acres of serene farming country in the Rockland Rural Historic District. Just miles from Greenway Court, the first home of Lord Fairfax built in 1752, Willow Brook offers timeless beauty and quiet sophistication. The main house is situated on a lovely creek "Willow Brook" and shares its banks with a charming working stone boat house. Inside this historic stone home, you find five bedrooms, three full baths and two half baths, a library, original English basement dining room and kitchen as well as a large sitting room for entertaining. The house has original hardwood floors throughout, beamed ceilings, and four fireplaces. All of the grounds have retained much of their original configuration. Within walking distance of the main residence, you will find a boat and spring house, one bedroom guest cottage with two fireplaces, and an authentic hand hewn log smoke house. Extra facilities and dependencies include four additional houses on separate parcels. Willow Brook consists of 10 contiguous parcels on the east and west sides of Rockland Road. Additional structures include a large, beautiful barn for horses or other livestock and several sheds. The barn has an extensive workshop on the ground level and a fantastic second level finished with lovely post and beam accents for entertaining. Views from the barn of the Blue Ridge Mountains are breathtaking. The entire property is being offered as one piece and being sold AS IS. It is all in VOF conservation easement. Upon visiting the property, we can share individual plats and specific future building options available within the easement. Willow Brook would make the perfect family compound. The property is 1 hour from Dulles Airport, local shopping in Front Royal, Berryville, Winchester, and Millwood. Livestock on property, do not enter without listing agent.
