Property Description
Nestled on 77 acres in the Virginia countryside, Mount Sharon offers an extraordinary blend of Georgian architecture, rich history, and exquisite gardens. Designed by renowned architect Louis Bancel LaFarge, the 10,000+ square-foot main house is complemented by 10 acres of meticulously crafted Italian, French, and English-style gardens, with breathtaking views of the Blue Ridge Mountains. The main house is designed for gracious living and entertaining, offering expansive spaces ideal for hosting guests, gatherings, and large celebrations. The property also features multiple outbuildings, including a farm manager’s house and a guest house with an office on the main level—perfect for accommodating staff, guests, or business needs. For equestrian enthusiasts, the estate includes a seven-stall stable with a tack room, along with 147 acres of adjoining land available for purchase at $1.25 million. The additional land features a classic 1930s Sears Belmont-style barn with 20 stalls, rolling pastures, a pond, 4 run-in sheds, and multiple paddocks. Together, these create a 224+ acre world-class equestrian estate.
