Property Description
A rare opportunity to own one of Stafford County's most distinctive properties! Hartwood House combines Virginia history, impressive acreage, multiple residences and exciting future possibilities—all in an incredibly convenient location.
Set on approximately 34 rolling acres, this remarkable estate offers the space and flexibility increasingly difficult to find in Stafford County. With multiple dwellings already on the property and potential subdivision opportunities, the possibilities extend far beyond the historic home itself.
At the heart of the property stands Hartwood House, an impressive brick residence dating to the early 1800s. Built by Irish immigrant William Irvine and once part of an estate encompassing thousands of acres, the home has witnessed more than two centuries of Virginia history, including the Civil War, and has been thoughtfully restored while preserving the character that makes it so special.
The hedge-lined drive provides a memorable approach to the stately brick façade. Inside, heart pine floors, exposed brick, beautiful woodwork, period fireplaces and deep-set windows showcase the home's heritage. Formal living and dining rooms provide wonderful gathering spaces, while the library with floor-to-ceiling built-ins and its own half bath offers a quiet retreat. The kitchen makes a statement with an oversized marble-topped island and double oven incorporated into a dramatic brick wall.
The spacious primary suite offers multiple closets and storage areas, while additional bedrooms retain the character expected from a home of this era.
A SECOND RESIDENCE adds another level of versatility, complete with its own living area, kitchen, bedroom, flex space and spacious deck—ideal for extended family, guests, a caretaker, home office or other possibilities.
Outside, open pastures, mature trees, expansive lawns and historic outbuildings create an incredible setting for horses, animals, gardening, entertaining or simply enjoying your own Virginia countryside.
History lovers will appreciate the property's documented Civil War connections, including periods of occupation by both Confederate and Union forces and ties to figures including Fitzhugh Lee and Wade Hampton.
And you don't have to sacrifice convenience for all this space and privacy! Shopping, dining, groceries and recreation along the Route 17 corridor are just minutes away, with I-95 approximately 10 minutes away and Downtown Fredericksburg approximately 15 minutes away.
Whether your vision is a historic private estate, multigenerational compound, equestrian property, additional homesites or investment opportunity, Hartwood House offers something incredibly difficult to duplicate.
