GUINEA BRIDGE



Located just 13 miles southwest of Leesburg, and Dulles Greenway, and 30 minutes from Dulles International Airport. Approximately 15 miles north of the village of Middleburg and in the famed Middleburg Hunt Territory.

It is believed that the stone part of the house, where today’s present kitchen is, was the original Patent house, built in the 1750’s the second and last addition, also stone, was added in the mid 1800’s. A miller lived in the house while running a mill just down the road along the North Fork of the Goose Creek. The entire house offers a kitchen, dining room, and living room on the first floor; and 2 bedrooms and 1 full bath on the second. Four fireplaces, original woodwork throughout and lovely old floors set the stage for this careful renovation. Along the front of the house a new 50’ x 8’ mahogany porch replaces an older one with doors leading from the porch into either the kitchen or the dining room. Outside, and around the house, stone terraces, walks, retaining walls, mature plantings, pastoral views, all add to the charm of the property. An office/studio, with a small workshop below, is a short distance from the house and terrace.

For 25 years the owners, with time, money and always special attention to all details, have guided this house and property to the finished product you see today: like walking back in time with the soothing comfort of another era. The farm is privately tucked away and the setting is unique in that the almost 15 acres supply all of the views, giving assurance for continued tranquility in the future.

Canadian Geese glide to and from the pond, only one example of the peacefulness of this property. This is a nature lover’s paradise.

The perfectly placed 4 stall barn and separate machine barn/run-in shed complete the farm necessities for country living and add to this magical setting.The house was awarded the Loudoun County Preservation Award for Rehabilitation and Reconstruction in 1991.

 

Guinea Bridge Farm, approximately 2 miles south of Lincoln, Virginia, a quaint old Quaker village, is part of the Goose Creek Historic District of Loudoun County. The farm consists of a beautifully built Quaker field stone house sited on a hill overlooking gardens and a spring fed pond. A manageable 14.88 acres, with board fenced pasture, woods, and outbuildings, make this a well contained property, ideal for a quiet weekend get away, or full time enjoyment.
