“Willow Run” is a truly enchanting country estate, steeped in history and timeless elegance. The original residence, dating to circa 1812 and masterfully constructed of stone and stucco by Mason Hirst, has been thoughtfully expanded over the years—most notably in 1880 and 1970—and exquisitely updated by its current stewards to blend historic charm with modern refinement. Inside, the home offers 3 bedrooms and 2½ baths, where rich wood floors, four distinctive fireplaces, and beautifully proportioned rooms create a warm and inviting atmosphere. Sunlight pours into the gracious living spaces, which open effortlessly to a screened-in side porch and an expansive terrace—perfect for relaxed outdoor living and entertaining. A heated in-ground pool completes this idyllic setting, all framed by sweeping, panoramic views of the surrounding countryside. The property’s additional improvements are equally compelling. A charming guest house, featuring 2 bedrooms, 1 bath, and soaring vaulted ceilings, provides a welcoming retreat for visitors. A spacious 3-car heated garage offers both convenience and utility. The striking bank barn, with its 4 stalls and tack room, is a testament to the estate’s rich agricultural heritage and equestrian potential. Encompassing 94.65 breathtaking acres, the land unfolds as a harmonious blend of open and wooded terrain. Two serene, spring-fed ponds reflect the sky, while 27 acres of mature woodland offer privacy and natural beauty. The balance of the acreage is devoted to gently rolling pasture, enclosed by classic board fencing and complemented by a run-in shed—ideal for horses or livestock. Adding to the property’s undeniable charm are a hill top cabin with exposed beams and phenomenal eastern views, picturesque stone spring house and the romantic remnants of a historic summer kitchen, now transformed into a garden sanctuary anchored by a rustic stone fireplace. Impeccably maintained and rich in character, “Willow Run” represents a rare opportunity to own a storied and sophisticated estate in a premier Fauquier County location—where history, beauty, and tranquility converge.
