A sprawling country estate in Virginia’s famed horse country is about to face the ultimate test: the auction block.
The 116-acre property at 7484 Wilson Road, just outside Middleburg, will sell through a Luxury Auction event on March 5 — and notably, it will be offered without reserve, meaning it will go to the highest bidder regardless of price.
Previously listed for $6.5 million, the estate includes a nearly 10,000-square-foot brick Colonial home, rolling pastureland, and a long list of modern upgrades added during a 2021 renovation. The auction is being conducted by Trayor Lesnock of Platinum Luxury Auctions in partnership with listing broker Tray Allen of Allen Real Estate.
Located in the heart of Virginia’s Piedmont region, the property sits within one of the country’s most established equestrian communities, adding extra appeal for horse lovers looking for a sprawling estate with equestrian flair.
Set on 116 acres in the heart of Virginia’s hunt country
The estate sits just outside Middleburg, a small town long known for its ties to fox hunting, horse farms, and country estates.
The surrounding land includes open fields, orchards, and wooded areas, giving the property a sense of separation from nearby roads and neighboring farms. The acreage also provides flexibility for equestrian use, agriculture, or simply maintaining privacy.
Large estates like this rarely change hands publicly.
A brick Colonial home designed with traditional symmetry
The main residence was built in the Colonial style, with a brick exterior and balanced façade.
A gated entrance leads to the home, where a central front door opens into a two-story foyer. Dual staircases rise from the entry, reinforcing the home’s formal layout.
The design reflects the architectural traditions common throughout Virginia’s historic countryside.
Nearly 10,000 square feet of interior living space
Inside, the home spans close to 10,000 square feet.
Rooms are arranged in a traditional pattern, with formal living and dining areas positioned alongside more casual gathering spaces. Cherry hardwood floors and detailed millwork appear throughout the home.
Multiple fireplaces provide focal points across the main rooms.
A kitchen rebuilt during a 2021 renovation
The kitchen was redesigned as part of the recent renovation, which brought modern functionality into the historic structure.
It now includes Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances, updated cabinetry, and new stone surfaces. The layout supports both everyday use and larger gatherings.
A library and sunroom overlooking the grounds
Beyond the main living areas, the home includes smaller rooms designed for quieter use.
A library provides space for reading or work, while a nearby sunroom faces the surrounding landscape. Large windows keep these rooms connected to the outdoors.
Both spaces reflect the slower pace associated with country living.
A primary suite with heated floors and steam shower
The primary bedroom occupies a private section of the upper level.
Its bathroom includes heated floors, a steam shower, and a soaking tub. These features were added to bring modern comfort into the traditional layout.
The suite functions as a self-contained retreat.
Outdoor spaces built around a pool, pond, and loggia
The outdoor areas extend directly from the home.
A covered loggia includes a fireplace and retractable screens, allowing it to be used across multiple seasons. Nearby, a pool and spa overlook the property’s pond and surrounding fields.
Walking paths and seating areas are spread across the grounds.
Land that includes orchards, fields, and open countryside
The acreage itself plays a central role in the property.
Orchards and open land create views in multiple directions, reinforcing the rural setting. The size of the property allows it to function independently from nearby development.
The land is as much a feature as the home.
A detached garage designed for car storage and hobbies
Separate from the main residence, a garage complex provides space for vehicles and equipment.
Automotive lifts and simulator space suggest it was designed with car collectors or hobbyists in mind. The structure also adds flexibility for future use.
An auction that will determine the final sale price
Unlike a traditional listing, this estate will sell at auction without a minimum price requirement.
That means the final value will be determined entirely by buyer demand. Auctions of properties at this scale remain relatively uncommon in the region.
The outcome will depend on interest leading up to the sale date.
A rare chance to buy land in one of Virginia’s most tightly held areas
Properties of this size near Middleburg rarely become available.
Many estates remain in the same families for decades. When they do sell, it’s often through private transactions rather than public listings.
This auction represents a rare opportunity to acquire a property of this size in Virginia’s horse country. For more info, head over to the Platinum Luxury Auctions website.
