Massive $30M Virginia Estate From 1776 Is Week’s Most Popular Home

realtor.com

Built in 1776—a rather auspicious year for the United States—an enormous and well-preserved Virginia estate is this week’s most popular listing on realtor.com®.

Dripping in Americana and spanning nearly 1,500 acres of rolling, green Virginia soil, the property is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The main house is a jaw-dropping 38,500 square feet of ornate, hard-carved touches, representing the very best the era had to offer. The grounds include several residences, farm and equestrian facilities, and even a shooting preserve.

While the historic home captured the bulk of the clicks this week, it was just one of the notable properties making up our eclectic Top 10 list this week.

There’s a San Antonio bungalow priced under $100,000, just begging for a savvy shopper to show it some love. Or a fully renovated Maryland home with the cachet of having once been owned by the famous hunting decoy carver Paul Gibson. Perhaps the North Carolina mansion built as a “tennis palace” with both indoor and outdoor courts will appeal to you.

No matter your game, we’re serving up all of this week’s most popular properties, if you’ll just scroll on down…

10. 618 Wena Ave, Homewood, AL

9. 701 Ontario St, Havre de Grace, MD

Price: $450,000

Why it’s here: This lovely home was built in 1900, but after more than $200,000 spent on renovations, it’s ready to sashay into 2020. The fact that Paul Gibson, the famous carver of hunting decoys, once lived here only adds to the rich history and appeal. After two rooms were combined to create a master suite, the main house now has six bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, and more than 3,000 square feet. A detached, two-story building on the property was used by Gibson as a studio and thankfully, has been left intact.
