Offered at $6,350,000

Attain your hunt country dreams on this prominent land tract, and establish an incredible quality of life: 292 exquisite acres in the heart of Clarke County, Virginia, a pristine setting within the Blue Ridge Hunt territory, nearby Millwood Country Club, and the celebrated Locke Store and Buttery bistro. Imagine yourself on monumental land situated near legacy estates like Lockesly, Carter Hall, The Tuleyries, Mt. Airy, Chapel Hill, Clermont, and others. Design and build your country home, and your country life, to take its place amid these antebellum majesties.

This is a stunning opportunity, a magnificent canvas to design and build your dreamscape and create a manor estate. Just .6 mile from the shores of the Shenandoah River, every crest presents a remarkable viewshed of mountains and valley; stunning, spectacular vistas in all directions, overlooking the seasonal canopy changes of the mountains.

One hour from Washington, DC, in the heart of the most beautiful and protected areas of the Shenandoah and Blue Ridge Mountains Piedmont, this tract includes mostly rolling open fields of three-board fenced paddock and pasture farmland with significant wooded areas. As farmland, the parcels have long been successfully used for equestrian and cattle livestock operations and ancillary crop farming. There are horses and cattle on the farm now.

This offering has road frontage and main drive on Rt 631 - Clay Hill Road, and 30’ easement access to Rt 723 - Millwood Road, 3 miles off US Rt 50. Existing improvements include a farm manager’s dwelling, a large, enclosed machinery shed, various smaller open run-in structures, an outdoors equestrian exercise surface approximately 120’x200’.

This offering is an unmatched opportunity for your custom design main country house with additional family compound dwelling sites. Create an exclusive, intentional community retreat on this remarkable land. There are 8 DURs by right, 7 DURs remaining available, suitable for significant manor home residences in a planned compound.

After home or compound planning, any remaining unused DURs will have a tremendous potential for open space conservation credits from an easement donation. Currently zoned Agriculture Open Space Conservation (AOC), this assemblage of three adjoining parcels has significant easement potential. The entirety is deemed high value for easement credit by virtue of its size, its current zoning, the number and stature of nearby properties already in easement, the desirable location, the prime open farmland, with standing tree cover, adjacent to forest timber, containing perennial streams, and public road frontage. The property is not within an HOA. The road frontage on Clay Hill Road has two private curb cuts.

This tract is prime for a signature dwelling or dwellings that will become your hunt country legacy.
