PROPERTY Writes - Willwyn Farm: History and Horse Heaven

The updated main residence dates back to the 1700s.

The 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.

A thoroughly modern and totally upgraded kitchen, granite tops included.

Primary Suite

A spacious formal dining room.

The fully renovated log cabin serves as the comfortable guest house.

The equine faciliity is first class.

This cozy room has a perfect view of the indoor ring.

The 196’ x 72’ indoor arena is ideal for year round training.

Timeless features remain: the walnut three-story staircase, heart pine flooring, a solid marble mantel piece, five fireplaces, with one believed to have been the original cooking stove. In addition, meticulous care was taken to install custom-made windows to replace all throughout the main residence. The current owners more recently restored a two-bedroom log and stone guest house.

Willwyn Farm also offers a first-class equestrian facility. This incorporates a renovated nine-stall bank barn and a custom designed 13-stall center aisle barn built in 2005 with an attached indoor arena (196’ x 72’) and an outdoor

riding ring (150’ x 75’). Willwyn Farm has 12 paddocks, two with run-in sheds. There’s also a large equipment shed and a separate driveway for the barn to allow privacy for the main house.

Other important features added include FIOS high-speed internet to the main house, guest house and barn. And both the main house and the barn have back up generators.

Located in the heart of horse county, Willwyn Farm provides easy access to Middleburg and Purcellville, along with Dulles International Airport and downtown Washington, D.C.
