Title:
Bowling Green Farm, Historic Property, Caroline County, Virginia
Description:
Circa 1741, historic Bowling Green Farm is one of the oldest, most original homes in Virginia. Nestled among 126 acres, this pre-Georgian brick colonial boasts 5 bedrooms, 4 baths, 9 fireplaces and 2 forty foot porches. A magnificent 2- acre front lawn lined with ancient cedar trees, 265-old boxwoods, colonial garden terraces, and a beautiful country setting with pastures and woods surround the manor house. The manor house at Bowling Green Farm is remarkable for many reasons particularly because it has remained almost entirely unchanged and is, as such, one of the oldest houses in the Commonwealth. Original hardware, glass and window sash, flooring, plasterwork and a colonial basement all remain. An 18th century dormer and original roofing shingles which may be viewed through an interior Palladian window, are examples of the many rare architectural treasures the house offers. Built on land patented by Major George Thomas Hoomes in 1667, the Bowling Green Farm manor house is a 1.5 story pre-Georgian Tidewater colonial built in 1741. A rear two-story section with gambrel roof was added in 1791. The property has just undergone an extensive three-year restoration. It now features a beautiful, historically-accurate cedar fish scale shingle roof mirroring the roofing materials and design originally installed on the house. Bowling Green Farm played a major role in the introduction of colonial horseracing to the U.S., most significantly through the importation of the English Stallion, Diomed. The Farm was also the site of numerous visits by President George Washington (as documented in his diaries) and the Marquis de Lafayette. Located just 1 hour from the Washington Beltway, 1 hour 15 minutes from Colonial Williamsburg, 40 minutes from Richmond and 10 minutes off Interstate 95. Listed at $2,200,000, you can view this listing at www.sheeransothebysrealty.com. Please contact Linda Jonas at 804-673-2129 for more information or a showing.
