Beautifully maintained quiet luxury awaits you at Clorevia Farm.  Named for the granddaughter of a landowner centuries ago,  Clorevia is a hidden gem of hunt country perfection.  If you dream of riding to the hounds, you cannot find a better farm to do so.  If your inclinations tend toward non-equestrian pursuits, Clorevia can serve as your perfect retreat to savor the nearby wineries, restaurants, and peaceful pastoral beauty of the Rappahannock Countryside.  But there’s little need to leave home to do so, with your own private river frontage, gorgeous fields, rolling hills, and fantastic trails at your doorstep, Clorevia is a place apart from the cares of the wider world.

Main Residence

Although built all at one time in 1991, the main residence at Clorevia mirrors the Virginia manor house tradition of generations of additional rooms added as fortunes grew.  The house feels as though it has been a home for ages, and the added rooms are designed in a way to show a sense of continuity over the centuries in a well loved home.  The main house at Clorevia is an inviting center hall Federal style home with an “L” addition typical of the Piedmont, incorporating a master suite, gourmet kitchen, mud room/laundry, study, and large family room.  The traditional layout of the formal living room and dining room easily transitions to the more casual great room adjacent to the centrally located kitchen.  There are plenty of entertaining options, both indoors and out.  French doors connect screened areas to extend indoor space, and stone patios and terraces outside the great room provide even more outdoor living and entertaining space.  A spacious office/study accessible by staircase or elevator provides a private retreat at one end of the house, while the ground floor master suite provides the same at the other end.

Grounds

Clorevia Farm is a turn-key equestrian property. With minor adjustments, however, the farm is equally suited for sheep, cattle, or small livestock.  The barns are at sufficient remove from the main house to easily enable rental of the equestrian facilities without disturbing residents.  All interior farm road surfaces are paved with a pea gravel coating.  Drains and culverts are all stone lined. There is extensive landscaping around the main house and cottage and along the farm drive.   The farm is approximately 75% open fenced paddocks and about 25% wooded perimeter.  The four large board fenced paddocks also feature a large fenced aisle separating the two front paddocks.  All four paddocks have automatic waterers. Large run in sheds in all four paddocks (plus an additional run-in in a non-fenced pasture) allow for considerable outside boarding in addition to the 7 stalls in the barn.

Extensive frontage on the Rappahannock River affords spectacular and private entertaining and fishing options.  A large open grassy lawn along the river provides plenty of space for enjoying picnics and other family fun.   Although a very pleasant walk, it’s equally easy to drive fro the house or the cottage along the farm lane to reach the river below.

Clorevia Farm is protected by a Conservation Easement, as is much of sought after North Poes Road.   In this highly protected landscape of bridal and walking trails among neighboring farms nothing can be built to mar the landscape within the viewshed of Clorevia Farm.
