Rural Hill is one of those homes you drive by and never forget. Perched on a gentle hill with its welcoming front porch and the ever-present American flag waving in the breeze, it catches the eye of all who pass. A familiar landmark in the quaint village of Paeonian Springs, Virginia, its charm is undeniable. Built in 1904, the home has been beautifully restored and reimagined as a Modern-Day Farmhouse, set on nearly four acres with sweeping pastoral and mountain views. Step inside, and you’ll immediately feel the warmth and character that only a historic home can offer. The Family Room, just off the kitchen, features a custom wood bar handcrafted by Shenandoah Furniture. Thoughtful touches throughout pay homage to its past—the attic bathroom door, repurposed from the original barn wood, and the barn’s party room shutters, which once adorned the house itself. Spacious rooms with ten-foot ceilings, original wood floors, built-in bookshelves, and pocket doors reflect the craftsmanship of another era. While its historic beauty has been lovingly preserved, the home has been thoughtfully updated with new doors and windows, modern systems, and carefully selected light fixtures and surfaces that blend seamlessly with its classic style. The kitchen, a perfect balance of old and new, retains its 1904 soul while offering top-tier modern conveniences. Rich wood tones, timeless details, and a welcoming atmosphere make it a place where people naturally gather, whether to cook, share meals, or simply linger. The breakfast room, with its double French doors, opens to a terrace-style outdoor living space—an intimate retreat with flagstone benches, a fire pit, and a stone waterfall tucked beside the pergola. The main floor den, awash in natural light, is ideal for remote work with Comcast high-speed internet, while the front study offers a peaceful spot for reading or reflection. The formal dining room, uniquely connected to the front porch, is an unforgettable setting for shared meals and celebrations. Upstairs, the owner’s suite is bathed in light, with windows framing views of the changing seasons. The modern bath features a walk-in spa shower and a spacious double vanity topped in Carrera marble. Three additional bedrooms share a stylish, updated bath, while the finished attic serves as a cozy retreat, complete with a fifth bedroom, game area with window nook and a full bath. Every inch of the home radiates a sense of peace and comfort. Outside, mature gardens, specimen trees, and thoughtful hardscaping frame breathtaking views of the Blue Ridge Mountains. The Party Barn, located in the 2- car garage, with its soaring ceilings and spectacular vistas, is an ideal gathering place for any occasion. A fenced paddock provides space for horses or future four-legged friends. One of the home’s most functional and delightful spaces is the mudroom—a room in its own right. Designed with daily life in mind, it offers built-ins, a full-sized washer and dryer, a sink, and designated spots for dog beds, coats, and sports gear. At its center, space for a large farm table invites everything from arts and crafts to wrapping presents or simply staying organized. A door leads directly to the terrace, and a conveniently located half bath is just steps away. The enchanting pea gravel driveway, reminiscent of an English country estate, adds to the home’s storybook charm. Though it feels like a world apart, this home is minutes from historic Leesburg, with easy access to restaurants, coffee shops, art galleries, and boutiques. The Washington & Old Dominion Trail is just down the street, and the Dulles Greenway, five minutes away, makes travel effortless—whether heading to D.C., IAD, or nearby Reston. Even the Leesburg Executive Airport is just ten minutes away. This is more than a house—it’s a place where history, beauty, and modern comfort come together in a way that simply feels like home.
