Situated on a knoll with broad views west to the Southwest Mountains and east over the Piedmont, the manor at Devonhurst was built in 1958 in the Classical Revival Style. The entry is framed by simple entablature with sidelights sheltered by a Tetrastyle, deep portico. The interior features tall ceilings, a floor plan of refined proportion and hand-crafted details. The plan strategically captures natural light in abundance while providing an almost uninterrupted view of the mountains. The columned and arched breezeway adds a distinctive canvas to the curtilage for the beautiful landscaping nurtured with the nearby greenhouse. A short walk away is a stunning guest cottage with full facilities for guests. Stables, barns and a beautiful exercise building complete the improvements near the manor, but there is much more. Here, too, is a 5 bedroom brick secondary residence for family or farmworker. The barn complex at the rear of the farm has two large Morton buildings for equipment storage and shop, barns, an office and an unrestored two-story farmhouse dating to 1900. Lastly, there is another secondary residence at the rear of the farm beside additional road frontage and another farm entry. Over the last decade extensive renovations have been made not only to the manor, but to the ancillary buildings and the farm. The panel fencing is in impeccable condition and the ground is in a high state of fertility. There are four springs on the farm capable of feeding livestock over the entire farm. Two beautiful spring-fed ponds frame the private entry.
Devonhurst is located minutes from Charlottesville and the University of Virginia just outside Historic Gordonsville. The farm is in the Southwest Mountains Rural Historic District and is an excellent candidate for a conservation easement with the potential for substantial tax benefits to the donor.
