UPPERVILLE HORSE FARM

99+ Acres with Fabulous Views

PROPERTY: SHIRAZ FARM offers convenience, privacy, serenity and seclusion with its long winding drive to the French Provincial, Custom built, Stone Manor House. The views to the East are stunning. There are two horse barns, a kennel and several fenced paddocks. A creek runs through the property, complemented by a nice pond. The property consists of 99+ very protected acres. Half of the acreage is open with paddocks for grazing, making hay or polo practice. The remainder is wooded with Dogwood, Redbud, Sycamore, Poplar, Oak, Cedar, Maple and many Walnut trees. There is ample space to clear more woods for additional fields and barns. There is a second house site with exceptional views. The open land is fenced. The property is in land use.

LOCATION: Located in a sought after, protected enclave of Loudoun County, SHIRAZ FARM is surrounded by big properties that have been placed in perpetual open space easements. From here you can access trails for walking and horseback riding over Mount Weather Mountain and the neighboring farms. On the Western side of Trappe Road, with a long winding private drive, the house is positioned just outside of the Village of Upperville, fifteen minutes from the town of Middleburg with its fine restaurants, specialty shopping and farmers market. It is approximately one hour drive from the Washington Metropolitan area and convenient to Washington Dulles International Airport. Excellent schools like the Foxcroft School, Notre Dame Academy, the Hill School, and Wakefield School and several State Parks are all nearby. The property lies on the gateway to the Blue Ridge Mountains, the Appalachian Trail, the Skyline Drive and the beautiful Shenandoah Valley.

RESIDENCE: Built in 2001 with superior craftsmanship and quality, this impressive and practical home is impeccably maintained. The beautifully proportioned rooms have high ceilings, Australian Cypress hardwood and Italian tile floors. French doors open to several porches, patios and walkways. The heated Pool has a built in wood burning Barbeque, an outdoor Viking Kitchen and is surrounded by a hand tooled wrought-iron fence. The house has a wonderful feeling of space, comfort and efficiency. It is the ideal country home for a family or a home office and the perfect property for the horse enthusiast and the nature lover.
