Picture the ultimate country retreat – a gentle landscape visible from every window, solitude, communion with nature – and then add mountains, a pond, fields, and forests as far as the eye can see, and you have Walnut Hill Farm. The perfect place to re-charge your batteries and escape the cares of the wider world. The residence is deceptively simple, but high-end finishes and systems assure your every comfort. Beyond the house and gardens, trails radiate in all directions to explore the stunning landscape. From the two hundred year old spring house to the newly built house, everything is wonderfully maintained and ready for your arrival. Residence A charming and compact home with high end finishes, the residence at Walnut Hill farm has been thoughtfully designed for easy living and comfort. Tasteful mixing of stone and wood has created a rustic interior and exterior which fits the landscape perfectly. Large windows in every room provide restful pastoral and mountain views from every angle and a large stone terrace provides for indoor/outdoor living. While the compact house provides everything you’d need for country living, the property also contains a stunning building site for a much larger manor house if so desired. Grounds and Outbuildings Kitchen Garden – Near the house is a fenced garden with water, trellising, and stone walls. Planting beds have been double dug and mulched and there are permanent plantings of raspberries, figs, and other perennials. Garage – A two car garage with additional storage is an attractive feature between the house and the barn. Barn – A large Morton-built barn with water and electricity a climate controlled office/tack room. There are two large stalls with drylot turn-out. Additional stalls could easily be retrofitted into the existing structure. There is plenty of hay and vehicle storage. Paddocks are accessed directly from the barn. Spring House – This stone structure is almost 200 years old and continues to provide a steady stream of water even in the driest of conditions. The spring house is in great shape and is ready for another 200 years. Stone Walls – There are literally miles of stone walls on the property. Most of the walls have been restored and provide a wonderful backdrop to the fields and the forest and help define pastures. Farm Approximately 70 acres of the 121 acres that make up Walnut Hill Farm are open fields, pastures, or hayfields. The pasture land is a mix of orchard grass and native forbs and clover and is fenced for horses. There are two large paddocks that can be subdivided with temporary fencing. A large hayfield also can be used for grazing between cuttings. Much of the rest of the open land has an orchard grass base, but has slowly been converted to native field grasses and wildflowers. Trails are cut throughout the open areas and feature picnic areas and vantage points to take in the astounding views. These fields are cut once a year to prevent them from growing up in forest. Wildlife abounds. Approximately 50 acres is woodland, mainly hardwood forest. This is a mix of hickory, oak, and poplar with a few other species. The forest provides a buffer between neighboring properties and enhances the privacy of the farm.
Historic Stone Farmhouse on 116.8 Acres of Rolling Virginia Countryside is available for the first time in nearly a century! Tucked quietly into the foothills of Huntly, Virginia, where creeks weave through open meadows and mist settles gently over the Blue Ridge, stands a home that feels timeless. Built in 1720, the stone farmhouse at 290 Riley Hollow Road has watched centuries pass, yet it still radiates the same strength, warmth, and grace that have anchored it for generations.

The properties stone walls were labor intensively rebuilt and trace the hillsides, marking the passage of time with enduring grace. At the edge of the horizon rises Little Bastard Mountain, a rugged and beloved landmark that seems to guard the valley below. Practicality meets grandeur here: a massive steel Quonset Building stands ready for whatever your pleasure… equipment, hobbies, small plane hangar, indoor pickleball court or any creative venture one might have; an oversized garage with ample space for 4 vehicles, a storage shed with log shed, a cattle run-in, a former horse stable, and the remains of a spring house provide ample space for work, enjoyment and life on the land.

Walnut Grove is tucked into a forest of grand trees where you can enjoy being surrounded by nature. With a pond that attracts wildlife to your front yard, nature provides you with beauty. There is not another house in your view. Whether you choose this home for your weekend getaway or your full-time residence, you will not have to spend your precious free time mowing. There is space for gardening if this if it is your passion, but it is certainly not necessary. You can sit (or grill) on the generous deck overlooking the pond and listen to bird song, photograph the changing seasons and enjoy the visiting wildlife steps away from your front door. Take a morning or evening walk on the wooded country road for miles in either direction. If you like long distance hiking, the nearby Shenandoah National Park is your answer. The village of Flint Hill, a few minutes away, offers The Dark Horse Pub and The Blue Door, two great local restaurants. Also in Flint Hill is a gas station (a great convenience as we don’t have many in Rappahannock County!) and a small country store for those items you forgot to buy or bring with you. The county seat of Washington, Virginia is a short drive; the Inn at Little Washington, Patty O’s restaurant, Ballard’s gift shop, and a wine and chocolate shop make a walk around this historic town a pleasure. Also, there are numerous wineries in the county; experience a different one every weekend! If you are fan of Sarah Susanka’s Not So Big House book, you will love this home. It has everything you need and more than you would expect in a small package. The open floor plan offers a fully equipped kitchen with all new appliances off the bright, cozy living room. Large windows expand the living space by bringing the outdoors in. A comfortably sized full bathroom is available on this floor. Upstairs are two light filled, good sized bedrooms as well as a second large bathroom that includes a convenient laundry space with a full-sized washer and dryer. Be sure to check out this home if you have been looking to simplify and enjoy your life. It has all you could ask for without more than you need. It is also easily accessible to Route 66, via the town of Front Royal.
