Property Description
Step into history. Own a legacy.
Welcome to the iconic Hartwood House, a rare and storied estate in the heart of Stafford County just minutes from Fredericksburg. Originally constructed in the early 1800s by Irish immigrant William Irvine, this remarkable property once spanned thousands of acres and has stood as a landmark of the region for over two centuries.
Rich in early American and Civil War-era heritage, the home reflects a time when craftsmanship, permanence, and presence defined architecture.
Set across two parcels totaling 30+ acres, Hartwood House offers an extraordinary blend of privacy, open land, and historic charm—ideal for a private estate, equestrian retreat, or event venue.
Expansive acreage with rolling fields, mature trees, and scenic water features
Multiple outbuildings including barn, carriage house, and additional structures
Long private approach with grand circular drive
Formerly operated as a wedding and event venue, offering immediate commercial or income-producing potential
The grounds themselves tell a story—where past and present converge in a setting that is both peaceful and powerful.
The main manor has been thoughtfully restored and expanded, preserving its historic integrity while incorporating modern comforts.
Approx. 4,500+ square feet of living space
Original wide-plank hardwood floors and exposed brick walls
Six fireplaces adding warmth and authenticity
Elegant library with custom cherry built-ins
Updated gourmet kitchen blending period style with modern function
Additional carriage house with guest accommodations
Every room reflects timeless character—solid, authentic, and impossible to replicate.
Recognized as one of the oldest homes in Northern Virginia, Hartwood House has already proven its versatility—serving as a private residence, historic landmark, and event destination.
Ideal for weddings, retreats, or boutique hospitality
Potential for subdivision, estate compound, or long-term investment hold
A true legacy asset—properties of this caliber and history rarely become available
Positioned along Warrenton Road with convenient access to I-95, the estate offers:
Easy access to Washington, D.C., Northern Virginia, and Richmond
Minutes to shopping, dining, and historic downtown Fredericksburg
A rare combination of accessibility and total privacy
