Perfectly situated upon a hilltop in the Virginia countryside this very private residence is a oasis surrounded by three large parcels totaling more than 300 acres of land all in protected easements, the manor house has sweeping views of the Blue Ridge Mountains and the beautiful valley below which they surround.
Complete with its own guest cottage, carriage house (perfect for caretaker) and several more out buildings the original portion of the house dates back to 1790 a period when George Washington was the owner of record and is flanked by 150 year old boxwoods and soaring shade trees, the remainder of the house has been completely redesigned and reconstructed from ground up with material selections which include stucco over block, imported antique fireplaces and spectacular reclaimed random width hardwood floors accented by an impressive stone entry foyer floor. The quality of construction of this home exceeds the expectations of even the most discerning buyer, dramatic skylights, and exposed beams on the entire main level, solid mahogany doors and windows throughout: this home shows off its Tuscan flair with impressive elegance. Everything was thought of in this beautiful design, including a true gourmet kitchen and elevator to ease your travel labors and perhaps the most important level of planning, the use of a 10 zoned geothermal climate control system combined with a solid icining wrap makes the home ultra-energy efficient as well.
Originally a portion of the land grant passed to Lord Fairfax and descended to Reverend Bryan Fairfax, Rector of Christ Church, Alexandria in the 1760's - 1770's. The Reverend Fairfax had borrowed 150 pounds from his close friend General George Washington. Unable to repay the debt, he offered Washington Flint Hill Farm - renamed Chattins Run by George Washington on March 1, 1775 when the farm became Washington's and remained in his possession until his death in 1799.
The President's heirs sold the property in 1804. In 1830, the property was deeded to John Douglas Rawlings who in 1833 enlarged the house by the adoption of the present middle section. The property remained in the Rawlings family until 1944.
On November 3, 1945 the property was deeded to Mr. and Mrs. Anthony Wilson. At this time the long gallery and east and west wings were added with the formal living room, dining room, kitchen and servants' quarters. The architect was Thomas Waterman who design the DuPont's Winterhur.
In 2003, the home was added renovated with the kitchen and great room being 'moved' to the added a new east wing. Original oak floors and period details mesh with solid mahogany doors and trim, state of the art mechanicals, kitchen and baths. Custom finishing’s, murals and built in cabinetry make this hilltop home - with stunning, panoramic views of the Blue Ridge and Cobbler Mountain - a unique opportunity.
