Experience timeless elegance and exceptional craftsmanship in this one-of-a-kind country retreat
When I first stepped onto the grounds of 13487 Midlands Farm Lane, I knew I was witnessing something truly special. Nestled on over 16 pristine acres in the heart of Loudoun County’s coveted countryside, this enchanting property represents everything I love about luxury country living—privacy, craftsmanship, and a deep connection to the natural world.
As someone who has spent 25 years in interior design before entering real estate full-time, I have an eye for exceptional properties. This custom-designed main cottage, created by the acclaimed architectural firm Cunningham & Quill of Georgetown and meticulously constructed by Walnutdale of the Plains, is nothing short of an artisanal masterpiece.
Architectural Excellence Meets Country Charm
The main cottage showcases the kind of hand-built quality that simply doesn’t exist in today’s mass-produced housing market. Every detail has been thoughtfully considered, from the two inviting fireplaces that anchor the living spaces to the charming screened porch that opens to a vine-covered dining area and garden—perfect for those magical summer evenings we treasure in Virginia.
What immediately caught my designer’s eye was the seamless blend of comfort and sophistication. The home features two beautifully appointed bedrooms and even includes a special dog washing station—a thoughtful touch that speaks to the property’s family-friendly design. The integration of indoor and outdoor living spaces creates an effortless flow that makes entertaining feel natural and relaxed.
The Ultimate Workshop and Guest Retreat
The thoughtfully designed 4-bay barn and garage, completed in 2022, elevates this property beyond the ordinary. This isn’t just a utility space—it’s a spacious, fully-equipped workshop with every modern amenity, making it the ultimate retreat for hobbyists, craftspeople, or anyone who appreciates a well-appointed workspace.
But here’s where it gets even better: venture upstairs to discover a light-filled, open-concept living area featuring a striking stone fireplace and warm wood-paneled ceilings. This generous space includes a bedroom, full bath, and loft area—perfect for guests, a home office, or even potential rental income. As someone who understands how homes can evolve with their owners’ needs, I see endless possibilities in this versatile space.

A Nature Lover’s Paradise
What truly sets this property apart is its extraordinary natural setting. With over a quarter-mile of scenic Milltown Creek frontage and access to a shared pond, you’ll wake up to the gentle sounds of flowing water. More than a mile of meandering walking trails wind through the property, offering unmatched privacy and tranquility that’s increasingly rare in our busy world.
The professionally designed landscaping provides an excellent foundation, ready for a new owner’s personal touch. Having worked with countless clients over the years, I know how important it is to have outdoor spaces that inspire and restore—and this property delivers that in abundance.
The Perfect Loudoun County Location
Located in the picturesque Lovettsville area, this property offers the best of both worlds: complete privacy and countryside tranquility, yet convenient access to the amenities of Northern Virginia. The detailed directions speak to the property’s secluded nature—you’ll follow winding country roads through some of Loudoun County’s most beautiful landscapes to reach your private retreat.
As someone who lives in nearby Waterford and specializes in historic properties and estates throughout this region, I understand the unique appeal of this corner of Virginia. The combination of natural beauty, rich history, and proximity to both Washington D.C. and the Shenandoah Valley makes this area particularly special for discerning buyers.
Investment in Quality and Lifestyle
At 1,514 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space on 16.35 acres, this property represents far more than square footage—it’s an investment in a lifestyle. The generator ensures year-round comfort, while the quality construction and timeless design promise to appreciate for generations.
Whether you’re seeking a peaceful weekend escape, a full-time country residence, or a unique property with income potential, 13487 Midlands Farm Lane offers something truly exceptional. In my years of working with luxury properties and estates, I’ve learned that properties like this—with their combination of architectural distinction, natural beauty, and thoughtful amenities—are increasingly rare finds.
This enchanting retreat has been thoughtfully designed for those who appreciate quality, value privacy, and understand that true luxury lies in the details. From the hand-built craftsmanship to the miles of private trails, every element works together to create something genuinely special.
