The masterpiece 67-acre estate of Limestone Farm features a stately federal style manor house, with origins dating to the 1790’s. Meticulously and completely renovated and expanded in 2010, the manor house has now over 11,000 square feet of elegant living space. Throughout the construction, tremendous attention was given to preserve the homes’ history while making the expansion seamless. As one ascends the front steps, one notices the front porch ceiling which showcases the hand painted crest of the family who built the original home. One then enters the foyer with its beautiful heart pine flooring, mahogany newel post, handrail, and staircase in its original detail, and fully restored with great attention given to its structural integrity. Many of the details of the foyer were carried through to the new and gracious back hallway with its grand heart pine staircase. This hallway separates the kitchen from the great room and creates a wonderful entertainment flow. To enhance the seamlessness of the old to the new, reclaimed heart pine flooring was installed throughout the main and upper levels. Built of local limestone and handmade oversized brick, the roof is of extra premium cedar shake shingles imported from Canada. The elegant William Ohs Kitchen, with its superior craftsmanship, is the epitome of a truly beautiful chef’s kitchen. The custom cabinetry is graced with Carrara marble countertops and backsplash and Waterworks fixtures. The appliances include Wolf, Sub-Zero and Miele, and a large pantry offers additional storage. At one end of the kitchen a spacious breakfast area opens out to a charming brick terrace with pergola. This stunning home is further enhanced with Ralph Lauren wallcoverings, window treatments, fabrics and furnishings. French doors and large windows provide beautiful natural light, with many of the doors opening out to terraces and covered porches from which to enjoy the beautiful and very private countryside. A gracious and level lawn off the back terrace provides the ideal location for a future pool. The lower level has 5,000 sq. ft. of unfinished space with both interior and exterior access, providing room for a home theatre, gym, etc. The mechanical room is on this level and houses part of the Geothermal heating and cooling system. One also has access to the basement level of the original home with its large fireplace. While in this section, look at the ceiling to see part of the new support system which has given the original home its very solid feel. Also, look for carvings dating from the early 1800’s and admire the mantels original to the home, now stored on this level. Limestone Farm has 2 additional structures which include a guest house and a stable. The guest house sits close to the main home and features a living/bedroom combination, a full bath, and a kitchenette. The stable, originally a bank barn, was carefully moved 200’ to its current location, redesigned and features a vaulted ceiling, a wide center aisle, 8 stalls, and a tack room. Adjacent to the barn are 3 large paddocks, 1 smaller paddock and 10 acres of flatland ready for more paddocks, outdoor ring or covered arena. This farm is located in prime Blue Ridge Hunt Territory. Along much of this property’s western edge is a section of Opequon Creek, a tributary of the Potomac River. Limestone Farm is truly an extraordinary estate.

“Salterhill” sits atop a knoll in the heart of 145 acres, offering sweeping views of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Designed by Charlottesville architect Jay Dalgliesh and built in 1989 the 7,000+ sq ft home features 6 bedrooms, 5 full baths and 2 half baths. The farm spans two parcels beautifully blending open hay fields and mature hardwood forest. Surrounded by large farms protected by conservation easements, Salterhill remains unencumbered and offers tax credit potential as well as having four additional dwelling unit rights. A winding drive through the woods and over two cattle guards lead to a pea gravel courtyard framed by trees and mature landscaping. A flagstone path welcomes guests to the mahogany double doors. Inside, a curved front hall with Zuber French woodblock wallpaper panels opens to the light-filled living room, where a fireplace and a wall of windows showcase the southern views. The formal dining room, with chair rail and intricate moldings, flows seamlessly from here. The gourmet kitchen, remodeled in 2021, features a tray ceiling, large island and an adjoining family room anchored by a floor to ceiling Albemarle greenstone fireplace. Off the kitchen hallway are a wet bar, gardening nook with antique soapstone sink and a powder room. In the back hallway, which connects to a two-car garage, are large pantry closets. A four-season room with interchangeable screens and glass panels offers year-round enjoyment of the views. The main level also includes a pine paneled library with fireplace and passage to the primary suite. The luxury primary suite has built-ins, large bath with dual vanities, dressing table and separate walk-in closets. There are two more-bedroom suites, laundry room and powder room. Upstairs a guest suite with full bath and walk-in closet is joined by attic storage.

The original landscape plan was done by the renowned landscape architect, the late Meade Palmer. More recent changes and additions have been made by Nicole Seiss of LanDesign. Nature lovers will appreciate the magnolia, sycamore, pin oak, beech, red maple, weeping willow, and horse chestnut trees, as well as two large perennial beds. The Hartley Botanic greenhouse from England, tiered vegetable beds and 3 acre quail habitat enhance the property’s charm. Perfectly located – within the historic Blue Ridge Hunt territory, 10 minutes to the Virginia State Arboretum and Shenandoah River, 20 minutes to Sky Meadows State Park, 50 minutes to Dulles International Airport and 90 minutes to Washington, C.C. – Salterhill offers privacy, beauty and turn-key readiness.

Unmatched in its 1.7 miles of river frontage, 224-acres, prime location, and estate home, every adventure is within reach here, whether hiking, fishing, hunting, hobby farming, equestrian pursuits, or simply savoring days along the river. Just 90 minutes from Washington D.C., framed by the Shenandoah River and Blue Ridge Mountains, Idlewild’s land stands apart in its beauty, scale and diversity. Along the Shenandoah River, 120 acres form a private frontage ideal for riverside walks or trail rides. Cleared paths lead to swimming holes, shaded picnic spots and quiet banks where the sound of water over the shoals restores calm. Between the river and the house, rich pastures unfold. Scenic and functional, the fenced fields are ready for horses or livestock. Across Howellsville Road, 100 wooded acres rise to a ridgeline at 800-feet of elevation and offer extensive trails for hunting, riding, hiking or ATV adventures. Idlewild’s residence, reconstructed in 2009, has been beautifully built anew. Sitting on the original site, the stately Federal-style brick home maintained the exterior style of the historic Idlewild home, built circa 1853. With 4,000 square feet, 4 bedrooms and 4.5 baths, the residence is perfectly sited between river and mountains, overlooking a large pond with a Blue Ridge Mountain backdrop. Wide porches span the front and rear elevations, connecting the home with the surrounding countryside. Inside, rich hardwood floors anchor an open plan in which the living room flows into the dining area and kitchen, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. Oversized windows frame views of the pond, pastures and mountains. The main-level primary suite, added in 2012, offers both convenience and privacy, with a large walk-in closet and a spa-like bath featuring a clawfoot tub, glass-enclosed shower, premium finishes and hidden laundry. Upstairs, three additional bedrooms include a generous ensuite with peaceful views. From this level, step onto the roof deck, an inspired space for lounging or soaking in the hot tub while overlooking the river and fields. The lower-level blends utility and design with high ceilings, slate floors, a full bath, kitchenette, and stone fireplace. This casual living space can flex to a gym, studio or home office, complete with Starlink connectivity. Elements of Idlewild’s history have been carefully preserved and reimagined. The covered breezeway that once linked the kitchen to the main house has been repurposed as an inviting space for al fresco dining. Bricks from the original 1850s home—kiln-fired on the farm—were repurposed in the Carriage House, now a detached garage with a farm office. The former estate kitchen has been transformed into a charming one-bedroom, one-bath guest house, while the original corn crib stands a restored antique. At the river near the modern bridge, remnants of the 1920s Byrd Bridge still stand, reminders of the travelers and commerce that have passed through Berry’s Ferry since the early 1800s. If seeking an estate of rare character and scale, Idlewild River Farm possesses the best of Virginia’s countryside. Live among historic estates such as Long Branch, The Tuleyries, and Carter Hall. Enjoy local restaurants, wineries, breweries and golf courses with quick access to Rt 340, Rt 7, Rt 50 and I-81. Located 20 minutes from Winchester and Front Royal, 45 minutes from Middleburg and just 90 minutes from Washington, D.C.
