$19.8M Upperville Estate: 571 Acres of Historic Virginia Luxury

Dec 1, 2025

Presented by TTR Sotheby's International Realty 21846 Trappe Road, Upperville, Virginia, 20184 United States Set amid the picturesque countryside of Upperville, Virginia, Ayrshire Farm rises from the landscape with a presence that feels both timeless and stately. Encompassing 571 acres in the heart of the Virginia Piedmont, the estate is rich in heritage, design, and purposeful land stewardship. Few properties in the region balance these elements with such ease or at this scale. The manor house, completed in 1912, stands as the estate’s architectural anchor. Constructed of fieldstone quarried from the property, its four-foot-thick walls and steel-reinforced structure were bold innovations in their day. The residence carried the rare distinction of offering electricity, indoor plumbing, and central heating at a time when such comforts were little more than distant ideas for most of the country. More than a century later, its original cypress windows, beams, and intricate masonry speak to a standard of craftsmanship that endures with remarkable clarity. In recent years, the home has undergone a careful and comprehensive restoration, bringing modern performance and convenience to its historic framework. Its 17,000-square-foot interiors have been methodically rewired and re-plumbed, outfitted with three-phase power, central air, underground utilities, and a sophisticated security and communication system. Twelve restored fireplaces, finely calibrated lighting, locally crafted cabinetry, and an English conservatory designed by Glass Houses of England reflect a discerning approach to preservation. The materials, textures, and architectural details that define the residence create an atmosphere of quiet grandeur, grounded in authenticity rather than overt opulence.
