Set amid 154.25 acres of gently rolling pasture in Madison County, Hilton Farm is a Virginia estate whose history is an integral part of the landscape itself. Just minutes from the historic town of Orange, the property offers an early nineteenth century brick manor house, a working farm, and a thoughtfully preserved collection of outbuildings.
Approached by a long drive, the stately residence reflects the elegance of its place in history. The classic brick facade, framed by white columns, a wrap-around porch, and a porte cochere, presents a gracious and welcoming first impression.
Inside the home offers five bedrooms and three-and-one-half baths. The generously sized formal rooms, including a parlor, dining room, library, and sunroom, retain the character expected of a home of this era, and are further enhanced by careful architectural detail and original fireplaces. At the heart of the residence, the eat-in kitchen provides an inviting gathering place combining modern convenience and historic charm. The home is further enhanced by a main floor bedroom and full bath. The second floor offers four comfortable bedrooms and two and a half baths.
The acreage is predominantly open pasture, which is currently in hay production and well suited for horses , cattle, or a variety of agricultural uses. Panoramic views of the peaceful Virginia countryside, shade trees, and lush fields create a landscape that has changed little over time, offering both beauty and privacy. There is ample space for riding, walking, or just enjoying the country lifestyle.
The estate’s collection of outbuildings reflects its agricultural heritage while supporting a modern farm. An 11-stall stable provides the framework for an equestrian facility, accompanied by an equipment shed and workshop. The original milk house has been repurposed as a charming garden house, while a historic schoolhouse stands as a reminder of the property’s story. A separate tenant house awaits restoration, offering the possibility for a manager’s residence, guest house, or rental cottage.
Hilton Farm is in a desirable location in the heart of Central Virginia’s horse country. The region’s renowned wineries, horse farms, and the University of Virginia are all within a comfortable scenic drive, while Charlottesville and Richmond offer convenient destinations.
Offered at $2,395,000, Hilton Farm is more than a historic residence; it represents a legacy property, shaped by careful stewardship over the generations and offering the opportunity to become part of Virginia’s rural tradition.
