KILKENNY FARM

Kilkenny Farm’s 968 acres sits at the edge of the village of Orlean in one of the most picturesque areas of Fauquier County with expansive views of the Blue Ridge Mountains, 17 miles to the west. The entrance to Kilkenny Farm is framed by spectacular Rhododendron. The long driveway passes the farm manager’s house, a stable, and then a large pond before the drive curves and ascends to the courtyard in front of the manor home.

Kilkenny’s Georgian style manor house, ca. 1935, was built with imported English brick, using old world craftsmanship. It is perfectly sited for one to enjoy the ultimate in privacy and gorgeous views. The home features a three-level center section flanked by one story wings, which form the courtyard. The wing to the right features a large mudroom, which connects the main body of the home to the three-car garage. The wing to the left houses guest quarters with two en-suite bedrooms.

The elegant center hall of the home runs the depth of the foyer and opens into the sunroom which bathes much of the first level in natural light. The home’s high ceilings, moldings, spacious rooms, and superb blending of indoor spaces to the out of door terraces, gardens and lawn make this an elegant and welcoming home.

In addition to the classically handsome manor house, there is a stunning, newly constructed second home designed by Andy Lewis, with the award-winning architectural firm of Neumann, Lewis and Buchanan. Also, perfectly sited to enjoy privacy and the views, this home feels timeless. The open floor plan is built on the stone foundation, and centers around the historic stone fireplace of the previous structure and features three bedrooms and three and a half baths. To the left of this home is a charming, completely renovated guest house/study.
