ACRES IN EASEMENT
Peace and Plenty at Bollingbrook stands among the most significant estates ever offered in the Virginia Piedmont. Tracing its origins to a 1731 land grant from Thomas Fairfax—the only British peer to make colonial America his permanent home—this 365-acre property embodies the conservation ethic and equestrian heritage that have defined Hunt Country for generations.
The Jeffersonian manor house, seventeen original outbuildings, and sweeping views toward the Blue Ridge remain protected in perpetuity through the Land Trust of Virginia. Now offered at $11,200,000, this is an invitation to become the next steward of nearly three centuries of American history.

THE DINING ROOM
Room for good company
Built for an era when entertaining was both an art and an obligation, the dining room seats twenty-four with ease and still sets the standard for Hunt Country hospitality.
CHAPTER 2: THE KITCHEN
The Heart of the House
Designed for quiet family breakfasts and large-scale entertaining alike, with a mudroom entry and enclosed porch just steps away.
CHAPTER 3: PRIVATE QUARTERS
The Primary Suite
A suite of real prominence. The adjoining sitting room opens to a deck sunroom and the wraparound balcony, where morning coffee comes with views across the fields and the estate beyond. Off the primary bath, a closet and dressing room measure approximately 27 x 18 feet.
Bedrooms and Bathrooms
Throughout the House
At the top of a wrought-iron spiral staircase, a cupola opens to panoramic 360-degree views. Additional features include a back staircase, full basement, and three-car garage.

CHAPTER 4: THE GROUNDS
365 acres, unfolding toward the Blue Ridge
The land came first at Peace and Plenty. Garden statuary watches over open fields, stone and timber outbuildings sit where they were placed in the 1800s, and the pasture rolls on to the tree line with nothing modern in view. With 365 acres held in conservation easement, the landscape will look much the same for generations to come.
CHAPTER 5: THE OUTBUILDINGS
A complete picture of early Virginia estate life, rarely seen outside a museum village, and ready for guests, staff, horses and whatever comes next.
