7262 Old Rapidan Rd. , Rapidan, VA 22733(Orange County)

Built in 1922, Tuck Hill is situated above the Rapidan River in the Keswick Hunt of Rapidan in Orange County. Surrounded by 19th century and early 20th century homes of impeccable order, character and distinction, Tuck Hill resides in an environment second to none approximately 90 minutes south of our Nation's Capital. Here, in the Colonial Revival style with Dutch influences, the cedar shingle siding exterior is capped with a standing seam pre-finished steel roof. The Palladian fan and side-lights guide the visitor to the wide center hall that spans front to back. The rooms are of gracious proportion complemented by10' ceilings. In all there are four bedrooms (master suite with fireplace), three full and two half baths, a beautiful study/library, dining and living rooms with wood-burning fireplaces, and a radiant sun room facing south. The grounds benefit from mature landscaping in American boxwood, perennial beds, private orchard and long-standing fertile vegetable garden. The two car garage is detached and a short distance from the back door. There is also a charming guest cottage and a stable apartment, each with a full kitchen and bath. At one time the farm was a Thoroughbred nursery and wood-paneled paddocks and two large run-in-shed remain as does the ten stall stable now enhanced with a large workshop with concrete floor. The 31+ acres are virtually all open in deep pasture producing excellent daily forage as well as hay. The Rapidan is a beautiful, unhurried river at this point and Tuck Hill has its own private picnic grounds (900') along the banks. There are mountain views northerly into Culpeper County across the Civil War battlefields.
