There are moments in this business when you step onto a property and immediately know you're experiencing something truly special. That's exactly what happened when I first visited Chamblin Mill in Purcellville. As someone who has called western Loudoun County home for over three decades—and explored every trail, creek, and country road from the back of my horse—I can tell you with absolute certainty that properties like this simply don't come along very often.

Living History in the Heart of Hunt Country

When I talk to clients about what makes our area so magical, I often describe the layers of history that seem to whisper from every stone wall and ancient oak tree. Chamblin Mill embodies this perfectly. Walking through this 1792 estate, you're not just touring a home—you're stepping into a story that began when our nation was still finding its footing.

The original grist mill may have been lost to the Civil War, but the Miller's residence survived, and today it stands as a testament to the enduring spirit of Hunt Country. Every room tells a story, from the five original wood-burning fireplaces that have warmed families for over two centuries, to the hand-hewn beams that speak of craftsmanship from a bygone era.

A Horseman's Paradise

Located halfway between Purcellville and Middleburg, this home is located in the heart of Hunt Country.

The location along Beaver Dam Creek means you're just a short hack from some of the most beautiful riding trails in Virginia. I've ridden past this property many times over the years, always admiring it from afar. The privacy and natural beauty make it an ideal retreat after a day at the shows or a peaceful morning ride through Hunt Country's rolling hills.

The Perfect Blend of Privacy and Community

One of the things I love most about western Loudoun County is how you can find complete tranquility while still being part of a vibrant community. Chamblin Mill captures this balance perfectly. With approximately 1,000 feet of creek frontage, you have your own private oasis where the only sounds are flowing water and birdsong.

Yet you're just minutes from:

Purcellville's charming downtown with its local shops and restaurants
The Virginia Fall Races and other beloved Hunt Country traditions
World-class vineyards that have put our region on the map
Top-rated Loudoun County schools where my own three daughters thrived

Multi-Generational Living Done Right

Having raised three daughters here in Loudoun County, I understand the importance of homes that can adapt to changing family needs. Chamblin Mill's thoughtful design includes a completely separate guesthouse with its own entrance and utilities—perfect for aging parents, visiting family, or young adults starting their careers.

The main residence offers over 4,000 square feet of living space, while the 2-bedroom guesthouse provides privacy and independence. Whether you're hosting weekend guests from the horse shows or need space for extended family, this property handles it all with grace and style.

Outdoor Living at Its Finest

My love for tennis and golf means I appreciate properties that encourage outdoor living, and Chamblin Mill delivers in spectacular fashion. The in-ground pool and spa create a resort-like atmosphere, while multiple patios and porches offer countless spots for morning coffee or evening entertaining.

Your private refuge from the heat and humidity.

The creek access opens up possibilities for fishing, kayaking, or simply enjoying the peaceful sounds of flowing water. As someone who finds renewal in nature—whether on horseback or walking the trails—I can imagine how restorative daily life would be in this setting.

A Community Investment

When I think about the clients I've had the privilege to serve over the years, many of them initially came to Hunt Country for a weekend getaway and ended up making it their permanent home. There's something about this land that captures hearts and changes lives.

Chamblin Mill represents the very best of what drew these families here: authentic history, natural beauty, privacy without isolation, and that indefinable quality that makes Hunt Country feel like home from the very first visit.

The Loudoun County Advantage

Having watched this county grow and evolve over three decades, I've seen how properties with unique character and irreplaceable features consistently hold their value. The combination of proximity to Washington, D.C., excellent schools, and our area's natural beauty continues to attract discerning buyers who appreciate quality and authenticity.
