Property Description
The Mann House is a 1740 log and stone estate on 12.08 acres in western Loudoun County, with frontage on Catoctin Creek. Built by John Mann on land originally purchased from Thomas Fairfax — cousin of Lord Fairfax — it's one of Virginia's oldest privately held homes, owned by just five families in nearly 300 years.
A Property With Options
Live in it, work it, or build a business around it. Zoned AR1, the property supports agricultural, equestrian, and low-density commercial uses. The land is suited to a hobby farm (goats, llamas, bees), boutique vineyard, farm winery, wellness retreat, bed and breakfast, short-term rental, or boutique wedding venue (subject to Loudoun County approval). Located just minutes from Loudoun's wine trail and Hillsboro's scenic corridor, with rolling pastures, wooded trails, and creek frontage. Historic designation may also qualify the property for state and federal tax credits on approved restoration or preservation work.
The Home
Three bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, 2,071 square feet. The original character is intact: hand-hewn log walls, wide-plank pine floors, two massive fieldstone fireplaces, and authentic wood paneling throughout. The kitchen has been updated with Argentine and Brazilian marble countertops, custom cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, and a striking exposed beam overhead — built for gathering. A stone-lined root cellar offers wine storage or a unique historic feature, and the original spring house, summer kitchen, and historic outbuildings remain on the property.
Built to Support a Bigger Vision
The infrastructure has been intentionally sized and updated to support both family living and business use:
Well: 963-foot deep private well connected to an underground river, rated for up to six (6) bedrooms. Big Blue whole-house filtration, flushing filtration system, and new pressure tank (February 2025).
Septic: Designed for a six (6) bedroom residence — providing ample capacity for expansion or commercial use. Holding tank and main tank upgraded with new pump, power, and alarm in Fall 2023.
Electrical: Two 200-amp panels (42-pole main + 24-pole secondary dedicated to kitchen and HVAC), plus Dominion Energy WiFi-monitored smart meter (2023).
HVAC: Two split-system 5-ton heat pumps (one per level), main level replaced 2020, upper level replaced 2023. Ductwork professionally cleaned with UV purification system (2024).
Roof: Standing seam metal on both the main residence and rustic log cabin — a true "install once" investment-grade roofing system.
Recent Updates
New LG stacking washer and dryer (September 2025)
New Bosch dishwasher (December 2025)
New pressure tank (February 2025)
Full plumbing, electrical, and HVAC inspections completed by Appleton Campbell (October–December 2024)
Ductwork UV purification system installed (December 2024)
Bath faucets and shower heads replaced (2023)
The Bottom Line
The Mann House offers the privacy and character of early colonial Virginia with the comfort and reliability buyers expect today — and well, septic, and electrical capacity built for far more than a 3-bedroom home. It's a legacy estate ready for family living, business vision, or both.
