5209 Sudley Rd

Conveniently located at the juncture of Prince William, Western Loudoun Tech-Hub and Fairfax Counties, this Historic Property of over 14 acres is at last available for sale. Ideally located at the juncture of several major arteries - Sudley Road, Lee Highway (29-211), Route 66, Route 15 and Gum Springs Road to Route 50, Sudley Springs Farm offers the best of civilization and privacy in Northern Virginia. The primary residence on Sudley Springs Farm consists of a large 1950’s rambler with a major addition added in the late 1960’s doubling the size of the original home. With two separate interior stair cases and full outside entrances on each level, this home is well suited for multi-generational living with as much togetherness or privacy as you desire. Sudley Springs Farm offers 4 wood-burning fireplaces - two on each level – upstairs in the Primary Bedroom and Living Room as well as downstairs in the Music Room and the enormous Entertaining Room. Two full Wood-Mode kitchens – one on each level make entertaining a joy. The lower level kitchen area with brick bar is open to the Entertaining Room with a full brick fireplace wall and steps up-to the flagstone patio and huge 30,000 gallon In-Ground Pool Separated by a small private courtyard from the main house, a four car garage (complete with oil pit and drive thru bay for lawn equipment) adds to the home’s versatility. An interior spiral staircase to finished living area above the garage along with a full bath, and cedar lined sauna and exercise-whirlpool room on the first floor offers the opportunity for private quarters for live-in help, guest quarters or steps away to your own work-from-home escape. There is an additional exterior staircase leading directly to the garage apartment. In addition to the in-ground 30,000 gallon swimming pool, dog run and separate brick & slate grill area, the remains of a Tennis Court exist that could conceivably be repurposed or restored to suit the new owners’ purpose. Lock-up for animals, “valuable crops”, expensive outdoor equipment – ideas abound. The property itself is steeped in the history of The First and Second Battles of Bull Run. “Little Bull Run”, once known as Sudley Springs, borders the property – half belonging* (*see survey) to the Manassas National Battlefield and half Sudley Springs Farm. Photographs of soldiers taken on the banks of Sudley Springs can be found in history books as well as mentions of the property calling out its importance in the beginnings of these historic battles. Treasures of remnants dating back to the Civil War – mini-balls, soldiers’ belt buckles and bayonets, buttons, musket bullets, have been found over the years, but metal detecting by others was never allowed by the owners. The partially fenced acreage contains a 4 stall barn with hayloft – 2 of the stalls are used as feed and tack rooms - and fertile ground reflecting its past as a horse farm and a cattle farm…superb candidate for agriculture - no rollback taxes!! Bring your horses and ride all day on your own property or the contiguous Manassas National Battlefield. This rambling home is much in need of “LOVE” – bring your imagination…bring your contractor – and don’t let this get away!
