CHESTNUT HILL HISTORIC HOUSE is a magnificent Pre-Revolutionary Federal-Style Mansion & Farm located in Loudoun County as featured on NBC4 News! Perched on a picturesque knoll overlooking 20.02 acres of breathtaking mountain views, the Chestnut Hill Stone House is a remarkable 18th-century estate built circa 1766. This Federal-style mansion blends historic charm with modern amenities, offering over 7,500 square feet of extraordinary living space. Once the residence of Thomson Francis Mason, esteemed lawyer, and former mayor of Alexandria, Chestnut Hill is steeped in a rich historical narrative that spans centuries. As the grandson of founding father George Mason IV, Mason's legacy is felt throughout the property, with his initials, TFM, etched in the original glass of the home *** Constructed in 1766, this stucco-covered, two-story fieldstone home has been expanded by subsequent owners, including the Mason family who occupied the estate for nearly a century. According to local oral history, the home was spared from destruction during the Union's Civil War orders due to the reverence for the Mason name. It is believed that an original copy of the Virginia Declaration of Rights was housed at Chestnut Hill during the family's ownership before being sold to the National Archives in 1930. ** This estate offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of American history while enjoying modern comforts. The home is rich in architectural significance, featuring original windows, intricate trim work, soaring ceilings, wood flooring, charming built-in cabinetry, and a total of eleven fireplaces that add warmth and character. With five bedrooms and five and a half baths spread across five levels, this residence is both grand and inviting. ** The estate also includes a variety of historic outbuildings, including a carriage house with three additional bedrooms and a full bath—ideal for guests or rental income—a dairy structure, stable, spring house and a family cemetery dating back to the 19th century. Entertain in style with a grand stone front porch adorned with five tall columns, and a spacious rear porch offering picturesque views of the surrounding landscape. ** Chestnut Hill’s historical significance is enhanced by its connection to notable figures like Colonel Josias Clapham, the Mason family, and Coleman Gore, the uncle of Vice President Al Gore. Zoned AR1 and subject to covenants, this property offers timeless elegance, modern convenience, and easy access to Loudoun County's renowned wineries, breweries, and historic downtown Leesburg. This is more than just a home—it's a living testament to Virginia's storied past, offering a unique opportunity to create your own history within its walls. Property sold in as-is condition.
