If you love the smell of countryside in the morning, then this 28-acre estate at Purcellville, previously owned by actor Robert Duvall, might just be for you.
Nestled in Hunt Country just outside Philomont, 20385 Beaverdam Bridge Rd., known as Butcher’s Run, is iconic not only because the Apocalypse Now actor once owned it, but because it features Quaker-built fieldstone-style architecture and breathtaking views of the Blue Ridge Mountains.
The 5,500-square-foot historic home includes five bedrooms, five full bathrooms, and a half bath. Additionally, there is an outdoor pool, a separate secluded log cabin, and an eight-stall courtyard barn perfect for horse lovers. It is on the market for $3.7 million.
The spacious living room is perfect for lounging and accommodating guests. The wide-plank heart pine floors add to the old-world flavor of the home that was originally built around 1820.
The home has rooms perfect for curling up and watching TV, or even a Duvall film, if you’re in the mood.
The kitchen features a double oven, a built-in microwave, refrigerator, and stainless steel appliances. A small dining area sits adjacent to the entry hall.
The primary bedroom, which comes with an ensuite bathroom, can be found on the main level. The room features wide-plank hardwood flooring, adding a classic design touch to the 204-year-old home.
For those days when it’s too cold or hot to sit outside, enjoy the view of the property from the sun room. Located at the back of the home, the room has a clear view of the pool.
The new owners will be able to enjoy a leisurely swim in the heated pool and bask on the patio while looking at views of the mountains and rolling fields.
The English garden offers a splendid retreat for flower lovers and horticulture enthusiasts. Nearby is a stone carriage house that houses a cozy living room and two bedrooms.
The barn has a tack room, a wash area, six paddocks, automatic waterers, a riding ring, and four run-in sheds. It also houses an office.
For your other four-wheeled favorites, an enclosed three-car garage is included.
