Offered for the first time, Abbeyville is a rare 146-acre estate in Clarke County, superbly located just outside Boyce. Built in 1909, this property provides unmatched versatility with additional dwelling unit rights and a multitude of possibilities—a private residence, equestrian estate, working farm, family enclave, or new build. With potential for limited subdivision and prime eligibility for land conservation programs and easement tax credits, Abbeyville presents an extraordinary opportunity. This Colonial Revival house is a living antique, rich in original features, perfect for anyone looking to own and restore a piece of history. Featured in Clarke County, Virginia: History Through Architecture, Abbeyville is a classic example of American Foursquare design. The original front door opens to a spacious foyer, with the Dining room with fireplace on one side and the Living Room with mountain views and its own fireplace on the other—both can be enclosed with original pocket doors. The library, with built-in bookshelves and wood stove, offers an ideal retreat for reading or work. The main level is completed by a kitchen and half bath. Upstairs, three oversized bedrooms with fireplaces, two smaller bedrooms, and a full bath, offer ample space and potential. Outside, the rare wood shingle siding is complemented by a pressed-tin roof and two corbelled brick chimneys. The south-facing front porch spans the width of the house, perfect for relaxing or dining alfresco. Surrounding the house are open, rolling pastures, divided into 20- to 40-acre fully fenced fields. The barn provides storage and shelter for livestock. The western fields are currently used for grazing cattle, while the eastern fields, used for hay production, offer open scenic views. A 2-bedroom tenant house, built in 1999 on the original spring house site, offers multi-generational living or rental income potential.
