Now and then you get to live in time and back in time at once. Fairfax Found is just that place. Located on 11+ very quiet and private acres just 3 miles from the village of Middleburg, in Middleburg Hunt territory, Fairfax Found is the perfect blend of country living and modern convenience.
The property was created by taking the existing brick home with magnificent landscaping, mature trees and shrubs and adding a historic and authentic home from our country's past, a two story log home, that of the Fifth Lord Fairfax. The exquisite log home dating back to 1729 and now located on historic Snickersville Turnpike in Middleburg was one of many "day-trip" homes created by and for Lord Fairfax, as he set about --on horseback or in carriage -- each morning to survey the King's massive holdings in the "New World" -- aided by none other than George Washington, young surveyor.
The property has it all – 4 Bedrooms , 4 Full Baths, stunning dining room with fireplace, very large and bright family/great room with fireplace, incredibly private patio all complimented by a large pool and pergola. The exquisite grounds are part open and wooded and enhanced by extensive gardens flowering trees, stone patios. A perfectly formed stone wall lines the property along Snickersville Turnpike built by the Hessian prisoners of the Revolutionary War.
The current owners and "creators" of Fairfax Found enlisted the State Archeologist and the State Historian from Richmond to help date the original house as it stood at "Wolf Trap-Tysons", then further sought the professional advice of the master builder/restorer Chas. McRaven/Charlottesville. Further, to enhance the new "home" of the dwelling, the owners then placed into "Historic Conservation Easement" seven acres of the property, to be protected from any development or subdivision.
Improvements on the property include a large shed located down from the pool area could easily be converted to a run-in shed for horses and a large log shed converted to a 3-car parking garage which could be changed to a small barn. Full finished walkout basement has library, exercise room/cabana and tons of storage. Fairfax Found is a rare offering with an exceptional home and unmatched pastoral setting, yet conveniently located only 30 minutes to Dulles Airport and one hour to the Nation’s Capital.
