Property Description
14.88 acres - now surrounded by CONSERVATION Easements (see updated photo) - complete seclusion with no chance of development on bordering property! PRIVACY – HISTORY – BEAUTY…and a special story: Welcome to Guinea Bridge Farm, an award-winning historical property dating back to 1745 on one of the most unique properties in Loudoun County. The residence was expanded to twice its original size through a seamless addition in the 1850s. This Quaker-built dwelling is peacefully nestled on nearly 15 acres of rolling pastures and wooded land surrounded by over 400 acres of agricultural zoned land. The property resides in the Goose Creek Historical District, an area renowned for its early county structures and settlements. Situated at the end of a tranquil road, the property provides a profound sense of peace and seclusion, while being conveniently connected to paved roads and just 3.5 miles from downtown Purcellville. Together, Nancy E. Patty and her husband James purchased this home over 42 years ago to begin a meticulous and loving journey of restoration, and preservation of what would become their “jewel” in the country. From sipping wine on their boat in their spring-fed pond, to hiking through the 8 acres of forest, Nancy and Jim created memories alongside countless hours, months and years of learning and dedication to restore and preserve this special piece of history. They became avid members of “The Old House Group” to learn from other owners and craftsman who specialized in restoration. Their major renovations continued for over 10 years and included a complete repointing of the home, re-plastering walls, restoring the 2-foot-thick stone walls with new mortar, and replacing all plumbing and electric. The kitchen was completely refurbished down to the ground with new footers being poured, and a new floor installed with rare, salvaged Chestnut tongue and groove wood. The four fireplaces were refurbished and continue to generate warmth and ambiance on cold winter days, like they did a century before. From hardware choices to doors, windows, custom built ins, and every stone utilized in constructing the retaining wall, each decision was made with careful consideration and a commitment to maintaining historical authenticity. In 1993, their efforts reached a significant milestone when they were honored with the Preservation Society of Loudoun County Award for "Preservation through Restoration and Reconstruction," as depicted in the attached image. In more recent years, the expansive front porch was added with mahogany flooring. The septic distribution boxes were updated in 2007 along with a new well pump and holding tank. The hot water heater was replaced in 2018 and a new washer and dryer purchased in 2023. The Weil McLain Boiler produces oil fired hot water to the base boards and is well maintained with annual service checks. The basement's foundation mirrors the exposed stone construction of the entire house and features a poured concrete floor, with a walk-up exit leading outside. A separate two-story office or studio dependency is just a few steps away from the patio area, and within a short stroll, you'll find the four-stall barn with a tack room and a detached 36' x 14' machine or run-in shed. Underground electric runs to the dependency and both barns with 3 outdoor hydrants on the property (one at the horse barn) that do not freeze in the winter. 2023 Updates include: Main house roof and front porch painted, entire cottage (dependency) painted including roof, horse barn and roof painted, run-in shed painted. COMCAST high speed internet installed. If you are looking to own a serene, private slice of history in the heart of Loudoun County, with room for long walks, horses, gardens and more, look no further.

HUD Foreclosures

HUD foreclosures and VA Foreclosures are some of the best homes to buy when price is part of the equation. As with most Americans, price is always a concern. If not buying the same house for less, why not buy more house for the same dollar invested? When looking for a good deal it is hard to do better than the VA or HUD foreclosures market. The simple truth is that there are just more VA and HUD homes on the market, as they represent such a large number of mortgages that are generated each year. This translates into more foreclosures just by the magnitude of difference between all others comparing to the two largest. The two largest also being government owned and operated means that they have less time to wait to make money back on the home. The FHA is especially known for selling HUD homes for less than the average sales price in a given area. FHA foreclosures represent a fraction of HUD but they are still a significant number of homes and both should be considered. VA (Veterans Administration) and HUD (Housing and Urban Development) have different and unique opportunities for the buyer. Both are often forgiven for the local taxes normally associated with the purchase of a home (this is on a county by county basis). Be sure to ask the local title company or escrow company to look into it for you before closing as this is often missed due to their are not used to dealing with the 2 to 3 percent of the market that VA and HUD foreclosures represent.

Foreclosure Listings Increasing

As the market settled after the mortgage meltdown foreclosure listings also settled and fewer homes were on the market with a placard reading “Bank Foreclosure” in big red lettering. This was a good thing for the entire real estate market. Having an abundance of foreclosures brings the entire market down and it makes it harder for home owners, who would like to move, to get the appropriate price for their home as a similar home down the same street was sold for substantially less and the appraiser is using the foreclosure as a comparable sale. This is just one of the problems when there are too many foreclosure listings in any area. Another issue is the television set that sits in everyone’s living room harping about the price of homes based on the number of foreclosures and this constant barrage of negative information makes most people sit on the sidelines waiting for the market to either implode completely or to correct itself. Meanwhile while they wait, others are buying foreclosure listings and making great investments. Whatever the reason, a market can only handle so many foreclosure listings at any given time. The more foreclosures, the lower the market gets and this is a lesson the banks that were foreclosing and selling off realized too late. The market and their investments would have been better off if there had not been a rush to divest themselves of the toxic assets made more toxic by their own actions.
