The stunning and historic estate of Ashleigh, ca. 1840 is rich in history, and beautifully sited to enjoy the magnificent gardens as well as grand views of the Delaplane countryside. These 98 acres were once part of Oak Hill, Chief Justice John Marshall’s estate, and the stone and stucco Greek Revival Manor house was designed and built for his granddaughter, Margaret Marshall Smith and her husband. Ashleigh is listed on both the National Register of Historic Places and Virginia Historic Landmarks. To further protect the estate, the current owners put Ashleigh into a conservation easement with The Land Trust of Virginia. Wide stairs ascend to the columned front portico, from there one enters the grand front hall. Some exquisite details of the hall include beautiful heart pine flooring and wide moldings, large, deep-set windows, and a ceiling height of over 12’. Through deep set, heart pine doorways, one then enters the elegant double drawing room adorned with a fireplace at each end of the room, a wet bar, and floor to ceiling triple sash windows which open onto decorative iron balconies. From the windows one overlooks the lower-level stone terrace with fountain, gardens, and lawn. The upper level of the east wing, in addition to bedrooms and baths, features an impressive octagonal library, built in 2001 to house an extensive collection of books and art. The wide hallway leading to the library features a wood-paneled elevator and a full bath. The upper level of the west wing features the very private and elegant owner’s suite. The foyer of the suite offers a wall of closets and a powder room. The lovely bedroom features a 10’ ceiling height, heart pine flooring, a fireplace and stately deep-set windows. From the bedroom one then enters the spacious walk-in closet, and adjacent marble bath. The ground level, light filled gallery is the entrance most used and features a tile mural by local artist Joan Gardiner. The gallery opens into a gracious sitting room from which one has access to the formal dining room and study. The study’s handsome pine paneling was removed from the White House during the Hoover Administration and installed at Ashleigh by then owner Dr. Edmund Horgan. The very inviting formal dining room features French doors which open out to a large stone terrace, perfect for al fresco dining and entertaining. From the dining room one passes through the butler’s pantry to the recently remodeled kitchen equipped with beautiful white cabinetry and marble countertops. GARDENS, FOUNTAINS AND POOL: Featured in several Garden Tours, and most recently in 2021, the three garden rooms, invite and encourage one to relax and breathe. When the current owners purchased Ashleigh, the gardens had been established and maintained; however, they took them to a new level. In 2019 they installed an impressive 100’ long fountain, within an existing garden room, and added a new pergola to support the established wisteria. The gardens are beautiful year-round, but it is the springtime when they come alive with thousands of perennials including a gorgeous allee of peonies. Adjacent to the gardens is the heated pool and stunning pool/guest house with gathering room, full kitchen and 2 bedrooms. The gardens of Ashleigh are further enhanced by massive boxwoods trimmed bi-annually by the Boxwood Society and by sculpture which remain from when Sandra Whitney Payson owned Ashleigh. HORSE FACILITIES AND DEPENDENCIES: Three stables: 10-stall, 4-stall, and 3-stall, run-in sheds and a large machine shed. Attached to the10-stall stable are two separate living quarters designed for farm managers. Close to the main home is a 2 bedroom, 2 bath guest cottage. Ashleigh is a beautiful and historically significant property, which provides the most perfect setting for an elegant lifestyle and for grand entertaining. Located at the SW intersection of Winchester Road, (Rt. 17) and Rt. 55, it is very convenient to I-66.

The estate captures the beauty of every season — a true Currier & Ives setting. The stately 5,800-square-foot 1840’s brick residence is perfectly sited amid stone courtyards, a koi pond, a graceful marble-and-wrought-iron rotunda, outdoor entertaining space with stone hearth, and in-ground pool. An expansive barn complex, additional private residence, large pond with dock, and a personal golf course compete the offering— all impeccably maintained. Inside, the main house masterfully blends historic character with modern comfort. Exposed exterior brick walls, antique floors, vintage mantels and hand blown windowpanes are married with an expansive grand hallway, elegantly renovated baths and light filled, glass and window encompassed primary suite with private balcony and a bird’s eye vista of the grounds. The piece de resistance is the newly remodeled, published chef’s kitchen and great room wing, complete with an imported Lacanache stove, luxury appliances and custom cabinets balanced by a stone hearth and cathedral ceiling with exposed beams. The house has a total of four bedrooms, 3 full baths, 7 fireplaces, 2 car attached garage and views out of every window. The charming carriage house adds a bright, open three-bedroom/2 bathroom private residence with full kitchen, multiple porches for entertaining, and detached garage. The carriage house is currently airbnb’d with all 5 star ratings, multiple re-visits and booked calendar. The property has a Par 3 golf course with three professionally designed greens and 11 tee boxes. The greens and tee boxes use artificial turf for a low maintenance golf experience. The barn complex includes 6 stalls with individual walk outs, hot and cold wash stall, two tack rooms, ample storage above, and adjoining space for carriages, equipment, or a gym. There is a chicken “chalet” overlooking the creek for feathered friends, and fenced in barn designed for housing small ruminants. Cattle have been grazed on the lower pasture with creek access while horses enjoy the upper pastures with two run-in sheds. An additional chicken house and fenced garden with greenhouse and raised beds complete the gentleman’s farm. This property lives like a world-class resort, offering endless recreation: horseback riding, golfing, fishing, hunting, kayaking, skeet shooting, swimming, sledding, carriage rides, or simply relaxing in an Adirondack chair with a view. Every inch of this estate tells a story — one of beauty, heritage, and an extraordinary way of life.

Sited high overlooking its 122 rolling acres, this impressive home features high ceilings, large windows, and spectacular views from all the main rooms. With over 7,300 sq. ft. of beautiful living space, the interior seamlessly blends rustic with elegance. The owners commissioned Architect Tim Clites, and Contractor Chris Carey to design, engineer and carry out the project. The house was masterly completed in August 2004 with new foundations, systems and materials with exception of a vintage post & beam timber structure relocated from Vermont. A light filled front hall beautifully connects the two sections of the home. The three-level section to the southwest is the classic post & beam structure which provides grand living areas. The structure’s hand-hewn beams were originally numbered, dismantled in Vermont and reconstructed on a stone foundation measuring 49’ x 32’. The northeast section has four levels, which house four of the five bedrooms. Beautiful stonework, divided light windows and copper roofing tie the architecture together perfectly across the two sections. As one enters the home, the materials and attention to detail are evident. Throughout the main and upper level is handsome random width oak flooring, milled locally. The lowest level flooring is a combination of limestone and wool carpeting. Gaston and Wyatt in Charlottesville provided the fine millwork and cabinetry throughout the house, the soapstone kitchen countertops also came from Charlottesville.
