The entrance to Kilkenny Farm’s 968 acres is framed by spectacular Rhododendron. The long driveway passes the farm manager’s house, a stable, and then a large pond before the drive curves and ascends to the courtyard in front of the manor home. Kilkenny’s Georgian style manor house, ca. 1935, was built with imported English brick, using old world craftsmanship. It is perfectly sited for one to enjoy the ultimate in privacy and gorgeous views. The home features a 3-level center section flanked by 1 story wings, which form the courtyard. The wing to the right features a large mudroom, which connects the main body of the home to the three-car garage. The wing to the left houses guest quarters with 2 en-suite bedrooms. The elegant center hall of the home runs the depth of the foyer and then opens into the sunroom which bathes much of the first level in natural light. The home’s high ceilings, moldings, spacious rooms, and wonderful blending of indoor spaces to the out of door terraces, gardens and lawn make this a very gracious and welcoming home. In addition to the classically beautiful manor house, there is a stunning, newly constructed second home designed by Andy Lewis, with the award-winning architectural firm of Neumann, Lewis and Buchanan. Also, perfectly sited to enjoy privacy and the views, this home feels timeless. The open floor plan is built on the stone foundation, and centers around the historic stone fireplace of the previous structure and features 3 bedrooms and 3 ½ baths. To the left of this home is a charming, completely renovated guest house/study. Kilkenny Farm’s 968 acres sits at the edge of the village of Orlean in one of the most beautiful areas of Fauquier County with expansive views of the Blue Ridge Mountains, 17 miles to the west. The entire farm consists of 3 parcels protected by a single Easement with the Virginia Outdoors Foundation. Each parcel is accessed by either Kilkenny Road, Hawthorne Farm Road, or Thumb Run Road. The 540-acre parcel has access to all three roads and contains the residences and barns, 3 ponds, fenced pasture, forestland and a section of Thumb Run. Eighty acres of this 540 acre parcel are not included in the easement and include the manor house, the large pond, the manager’s house, and the stables. The 378-acre parcel is accessed from Kilkenny Road and Hawthorne Farm Road and contains a mixture of open fields with a pond and forestland. The 50-acre parcel is accessed from Thumb Run Road with its northern boundary following the curves of Thumb Run. Kilkenny Farm is a wonderfully managed, working cattle farm, with well-maintained fencing surrounding the grazing land as well as protecting a section of Thumb Run. Located in prime Old Dominion Hunt territory, this is also wonderful land for horses. Just a few miles from Warrenton as well as I-66, Kilkenny Farm’s 968 acres create a beautiful escape. This is an exceptional property which encompasses the beauty for which this area is known with its verdant rolling hills, expansive views and tremendous privacy. Please note: The pool is open and is being sold "as is"
