DEER CREEK

Middleburg, Virginia

Deer Creek is a true gem, and will generate interest from discerning buyers who appreciate real value. While its 25+ acres provide peaceful seclusion and blissful privacy, its favorable location on the east side of the Historic District of Middleburg allows quick and easy access to the amenities in the suburbs to the east.

This mini-estate has a little bit of everything on one property: manicured fields; mature woods; meandering stream; its own private park with several thousand feet of frontage on Little River; an understated Colonial home on a hilltop; quaint guest cottage; three-stall horse barn; sizeable equestrian building; heated swimming pool; circular driveway; five horse paddocks; exterior riding ring; great ride-out; stone bridges; and hundreds of acres of land surrounding the property that is under conservation easement and will never be developed.

From the foyer (12’ x 7’) you enter through french doors to the formal living room (20’x15’) with wood burning fireplace. The adjoining dining room (14’ x 12’) with shadow box molding has wonderful views of the woods and pool. The kitchen (13’ x 12’6”), breakfast room with its walk-in bay (11’6” x 6’6”), and family room (24’ x 13’6”) with brick hearth fireplace, enjoy the privacy and scenery of acres of forest which lead down to Little River. Off of the foyer, one can also enter into the cozy, paneled den (15’x11’6) with built-in shelving, there is also a full bath and laundry/mud room with 12” x 12”tiled flooring.

The home takes on a dramatic and open feel when one enters the light-filled great room (24’6” x23’). Encircled by tall windows and French doors, this is a year round oasis. The vaulted ceiling further opens this space. The added dimension of this room is wonderful for family living or for large gatherings.
The upper floor offers the owners retreat (17’6” x 15’6) with a wood burning fireplace, private bath and two appointed closets. Bedrooms two (17’x 11’), three (16’6”x12’), and four (16’6”x11’) each have a deep closet with efficient d drawers and shelf space courtesy of California Closets. The remodeled hall bath includes two pedestal sinks and a 12 x 12 tile floor and tub surround.
The lower level is beautifully finished to include a recreation room (18’6” x 14’6”) with wood burning fireplace, study and full bath. The three windows on the east side of the recreation room bring in good natural light to the lower level.

Swimming Pool: Nestled into the hillside beneath beautiful shade trees, relax in the free formed, (propane) heated swimming pool.

GUEST COTTAGE: The quaint, two-bedroom guest cottage has its own driveway and is also nestled on a hill with mature trees. The spacious, wrap-around deck has wonderful views of wooded hills and the park-like setting along Little River. The guest cottage is a pleasant distance away from the main house, but the houses are connected by a wide and winding, mulched pathway through the woods.

THREE-STALL HORSE BARN AND PADDOCKS: The three-stall horse barn is fully equipped, and was designed to be easily converted into a four-stall barn. The barn has a feed room, wash stall, a heated utility room with stacking washer and dryer, and a grass rinse pad. The barn has a quaint, covered porch that overlooks the grounds. The barn also has a sidewalk that traverses three sides of the barn and allows you to conveniently visit your horses through their exterior windows. The barn is served by five paddocks, with gates that allow them to be combined into three. The paddocks have an outdoor riding ring, run-in sheds, automatic horse-watering tanks, and frost-free water spigots.
 

EQUESTRIAN BUILDING: The new, aesthetically pleasing Morton Building across from the barn provides tremendous convenience and flexibility. There are three separate and distinct areas within the well-built building, which all have ten-foot ceilings: two large offices; a farm equipment room; and a large storage room.
The two large, fully-finished offices (each 15’ x 21’) share a glass entrance door and have windows, baseboard heaters and internet access. They can be utilized for virtually anything (offices, work space, workout rooms, tack rooms, etc.). The offices and the storage room are connected on the outside by a large, 8-foot-wide covered porch, which runs the length of the building and accommodates ceiling fans and lights, and overlooks the woods and Little River.
The farm equipment room (20’ x 30’) has its own glass entrance door, a full-size garage door with electric garage-door opener, two commercial-grade heaters, and two ceiling-mounted electric cord reels. A 270-gallon above-ground diesel tank is located next to the barn for farm equipment. The Morton Building was designed with ample exterior spotlights to permit evening and nighttime work.
The large storage room (15’ x 45’) is fully protected from the elements and benefits from heavy-duty insulation and quality construction. The storage room has its own glass entrance door, a garage door with electric garage-door opener, two commercial-grade heaters, and two portable humidifiers.
