Property Description
Set between Upperville and Delaplane, on the edge of coveted Mellon land and within Piedmont Hunt territory, this 55± acre estate represents a category of ownership rarely available—and increasingly impossible to recreate. Defined by land, location, and architectural presence, it offers a level of privacy and permanence that distinguishes it from typical offerings.
The circa-1840 brick residence—spanning approximately 5,800 square feet—has been carefully evolved to meet modern expectations while preserving its historic integrity. Positioned to command the landscape, the home is surrounded by curated outdoor environments including formal stone courtyards, a koi pond, a marble and wrought-iron rotunda, and a pool designed for both entertaining and retreat.
Interiors are grounded in authenticity yet executed with refinement. Original materials—exposed brick, antique flooring, hand-blown glass, and period mantels—are complemented by elevated updates and a cohesive design approach. The primary suite offers privacy, natural light, and elevated views across the property, reinforcing a sense of quiet separation from the everyday.
A newly reimagined kitchen and great room anchor the residence with a distinctly modern luxury sensibility. Featuring an imported Lacanche range, bespoke cabinetry, premium appliances, and a cathedral ceiling framed by a substantial stone fireplace, the space delivers both visual impact and functional excellence. Published and thoughtfully designed, it is the true center of the home.
A separate carriage house introduces flexibility without compromise. Fully independent, with three bedrooms, two baths, and a complete kitchen, it functions equally well as a guest residence, staff quarters, or income-producing asset. Its established record as a highly rated luxury rental underscores both its quality and appeal.
The estate's amenities extend beyond expectation.
A private Par 3 golf course—with three professionally designed greens and eleven tee boxes—offers a rare, low-maintenance recreational asset. A substantial pond with dock, an established barn complex, and extensive supporting infrastructure position the property for equestrian use or broader lifestyle pursuits.
The barn includes six stalls with individual run outs, a wash stall, dual tack rooms, loft storage, and flexible auxiliary space suitable for modern adaptations—fitness, storage, or collection use. Additional features include fenced pastures, run-in sheds, a creek-fed field, greenhouse, garden, and supporting agricultural structures—creating a fully realized estate environment.
This is a property that operates at a different level.
Private, complete, and inherently limited by geography and legacy land constraints, Seaton Place Farm offers a compelling opportunity for the buyer seeking scale, discretion, and long-term value in one of Virginia's most established and tightly held regions.
A refined Hunt Country estate—offered for those who understand the difference.
