Property details
About 16158 Clarkes Gap Rd
Welcome to Greystone – A Living Piece of Virginia History. Nestled in the heart of historic Waterford, Greystone is a rare 18th-century stone home offering nearly 300 years of rich heritage, enduring craftsmanship, and timeless elegance. Built in phases across three centuries, this architectural treasure began as a modest fieldstone cottage (circa 1735) and has evolved into a distinguished estate that embodies the soul of colonial and early American history. The original one-up, one-down structure, with hand-hewn oak beams, wood-paneled library, and massive fireplaces, remains a focal point of character and authenticity. In the early 1800s, a Georgian-style wing expanded the home’s footprint. In 1915, renowned Washington architects Kendall & Smith designed the Arts & Crafts–inspired Lodge Room, along with elegant formal rooms for entertaining. Woodwork throughout was crafted to echo the home’s early American roots. Recent improvements, totaling over $650,000, have carefully preserved Greystone’s historic charm while modernizing its infrastructure and enhancing its livability. Included in the sale is permanent membership to the Greystone Pool, historically the first public-use pool in Loudoun County and still beloved by the community today. Across the road lies the original pool and old tennis court site, once host to neighborhood gatherings. Greystone sits on a generous parcel of over 53 acres offering breathtaking views and a wonderful opportunity to own a true piece of Virginia’s past. Also on the property is a small charming cottage, detached 2-car garage, greenhouse and an improved granary. Whether you're drawn to its remarkable provenance, its historic detailing, or the chance to make your own mark on a property rich with stories, Greystone invites you to become the next steward of its legacy. *Please note, property sold strictly as is*
