Willwyn Farm: History and Horse Heaven
T
he captivating farm called Willwyn oozes all the charm of horse country. Nestled down a dead-end road between Middleburg and Purcellville, this property of rolling, open pastures is anchored by a meticulously restored 1700s stone main house, along with a log and stone guest house, updated outbuildings and a marvelous horse facility. Originally part of a 655-acre land grant, Quaker families came and settled here building what was the original three-room house that remains part of the main house. In 1999, the current owners set out to create an exquisite masterpiece with spectacular architectural designs and features. They began restoring the main house and property, all while carefully honoring its historical past. An old corn crib has been adapted for re-use as a garage. The 37-acre compound through stone gateposts features a stately circa 1780 stone main house, now more than 5,300 square feet of exquisitely updated living spaces.
