A private lane brings visitors to the residence's lush grounds, filled with tall, stately trees and mature landscaping. Built in 1782 in the Federal style, the house is limestone with beautifully proportioned rooms and expansive views of farmland and the Blue Ridge mountains to the east. The lofty ceilings, eighteen inch thick walls, decorative moldings, original heart pine flooring, and fireplaces with period mantels in the formal rooms, a living room/music room and grand dining room, convey an air of prosperity in this rural setting. Up the inviting staircase in the center entry hall are two lovely large bedrooms, each with a full bath and ample closet space. The third floor has two bedrooms, a sitting room, and a full bath, with views of the countryside from dormer windows on both sides. A wide porch facing south on the main level has been recently enclosed and offers a sun porch conditioned for year-round use, providing breezes or air conditioning in the warm months and heat in the winter. In 1924 a new wing was added, seamlessly matching the stone and the slate roof of the original house. It boasts a beautiful library and a modern kitchen. The library, sure to please the most avid bibliophile, has floor to ceiling bookcases, a wood-burning fireplace, and 4 sets of French doors. The spacious country kitchen, with powder room attached, has a tile floor, a large island and ample room for a table with a banquette on one side and chairs on the other. Joining the addition to the main house is an enclosed breezeway with tile floor, and entrance to the spacious back deck and outdoors. The home also features a serious wine cellar in the basement. The property includes three other separate dwellings. Close to the main house, with a lilac hedge between, is a two-bedroom one and a half bath cottage with two working fireplaces, a full kitchen, and a full-length porch on the front. It makes an adorable guest house and has recently been used very successfully as an Airbnb. Across the lawn is a four bay garage, built in 1924, with a one bedroom apartment/office, bathroom, and kitchen above. The third dwelling is a three bedroom one bath Craftsman style farm manager's house near the barns. Milton Valley, at 139 acres, has always been a working farm. The farm buildings include a beautiful stone barn c.1800 with seven horse stalls, and buildings for equipment, hay and cattle or sheep. The fences are in excellent shape. Water features include a spring, stone springhouse and pump house, a stream (Lewis Run), that crosses one field, and a farm pond. The land is in VOF easement with two sub-dividable 2.5 acre lots in the northeast corner, accessible from Smallwood Lane. Clarke County, one of the smallest counties in Virginia, is unique among its neighbors in that it has resisted rampant development and protected its farmland and open spaces. It is bordered by the Shenandoah River and Blue Ridge Mountains, and is home to Blandy State Arboretum, two historic mills, historic Long Branch Farm and Mansion, a thriving arts center, the Clarke County Fair, a Farmers Market, restaurants, shopping, and antique stores. Just an hour from Dulles, half an hour from Middleburg, twenty minutes from Winchester, Milton Valley offers the distinctive pleasure of modern country living in the beautiful Shenandoah Valley Read Less
