LIBERTY HALL
Liberty Hall Farm has all the gracious charm of Southern living at its best. Sited on rolling hills in beautiful Culpeper County, the historic property encompasses 223+ acres of lovely wooded and pasture land, a classic Greek Revival house dating back to 1710 and spectacular vistas. The residence blends the past with modern elegance and convenience after a full renovation in 2004. The property is bordered by the Hazel River and Muddy Run; with multiple outbuildings--it’s a lovely working farm and/or professional horse facility.
LOCATION: Just southeast of the quaint village of Rixeyville, Liberty Hall is accessible from Rt. 15/29 and is just over an hour away from Washington, D.C. The property is part of the Warrenton Hunt territory.
THE RESIDENCE: A graceful, tree-lined drive winds through verdant pastures on the way to the impressive home. The front of the house is framed with soaring Doric columns and marvelous old-growth boxwoods and shaded by mature trees. Sited atop a hill, the house overlooks spectacular views. Historical details such as heart pine and mahogany floors, 10’ ceilings, slate and copper roofing and large fireplaces are evidence of Liberty Hall’s past. A spacious brick terrace with hot tub overlooks the property.
MAIN LEVEL: The front Foyer immediately displays the house’s lovely charm, with old heart pine floors and wainscoting. To the left is the Living Room (24’X 14’), where a wall of windows creates an airy atmosphere. Paneled walls, built-in shelves and a woodstove make this a welcoming room. A Dutch door leads from here to a lovely Sunroom (14½’X 9’), with skylights, slate floor and a wall of windows. A door here leads to the back terrace. To the right of the Foyer is the Dining Room (18’X 15’), which features a large fireplace framed by a mantel with classic dental crown molding. A large bay window showcases the sweeping views. The Office/Library (10’X 9’) has wood-paneled walls, a wall of shelving, fireplace and a door to the Sunroom.
The Kitchen (17½’ X 15½’ ) is a marvelous country kitchen, completely remodeled and with all the modern conveniences. The custom cherry cabinetry, dental crown molding and granite countertops add an elegant touch, while professional-grade stainless steel appliances—including a six-burner Thermador range—make this a kitchen for a serious cook. From the kitchen, stairs lead down to the Family Room which is fully carpeted and has spacious built-in shelving and cabinets and a sliding glass door leading to the back terrace.
The brick terrace is tucked into the back of the house, with a hot tub and old sealed well. It’s the perfect place for summer entertaining, with marvelous views of the property. A two-car garage adjoins the family room, with a potential apartment overtop.
UPPER LEVEL: The Master Suite includes the Master Bedroom (20’X 18½’), with paneled walls, a ceiling fan and brick fireplace with dental crown mantel. There are beautiful old wood floors and a dressing room complete with vanity and three closets. The Master Bath has tile floor, shower and double sinks.
Bedroom 2 (15½’ X 14’), has a wood floor, brick fireplace, closet, ceiling fan, built-in shelving and lovely views. Off the upstairs hallway is a linen closet and a cedar-lined closet. Bedroom 3 (15’X 14’) has a ceiling fan and closet and shares a full bath with Bedroom 2. Over the Family Room, with a separate stairway, are two more bedrooms that share a full bath. Bedroom 4 (14’X 10’) and Bedroom 5 (14’X 10’) have dormer windows, wood floors and closets.
THE PROPERTY: Liberty Hall lies on 223.24 acres of picturesque land, with a stocked pond and frontage on the Hazel River and Muddy Run. Fences and cross-fenced, the property is not only beautiful, but also a working farm. The property has a nice balance of open fields and wooded areas.
Behind the house is a two-bay lawn mower shed with a small machine shop. There are two horse barns—the first is a classic 6-stall center-aisle barn, with laundry room, feed room and tack room. Above this barn is a three-bedroom apartment. The second barn is attached to the spacious indoor ring. With 11 stalls, grooming stalls, feed room and spacious wood-paneled tack room with sink and powder room, this facility suits any equestrian. There is direct access to the indoor ring and a hay storage area. A total of 17 paddocks, most with automatic waterers and with 16 run-in sheds, complete the facilities.
A spacious Equipment Garage is fully heated and air conditioned and has an office, kitchen and full bath. Multiple other machine sheds provide storage.
