BOXLEY
 Bluemont, Virginia
Superbly sited in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, historic Boxley Farm presides over 40 acres of sweeping lawns, brilliant perennial gardens and gently rolling countryside. Impressive stone pillars and a long drive boarded by lush pastures and 100 year old oaks leads to this exquisite period colonial overlooking a picturesque pond in a storybook setting.
