Set amid 340 acres in Greenwood, Virginia, Whilton is an exceptional country estate distinguished by its remarkable gardens, expansive grounds and collection of beautifully situated residences and outbuildings. With a history extending back more than a century, the property reflects generations of stewardship and the longstanding tradition of Virginia country life.

At the heart of the property stands a stately brick Georgian residence dating to 1900. Offering 6,777 square feet with six bedrooms, four full baths and one half bath, the residence is surrounded by nearly 20 acres of impeccably maintained gardens, where mature plantings, formal and informal garden rooms, broad lawns and established trees create an extraordinary setting around the house and throughout the estate.

Whilton’s history is closely tied to the equestrian and sporting traditions of the Virginia countryside. An early account of the property notes that its name was given by a previous owner in reference to Whilton Lodge in England and recalls an earlier owner, Mr. Craven, as a gentleman horseman of considerable reputation. That heritage remains evident today in the estate’s handsome brick stable, multiple paddocks and extensive open acreage, providing substantial facilities for continued equestrian use.

The gardens are among Whilton’s defining features. Encompassing nearly 20 acres around the residence and supporting buildings, they represent a remarkable landscape of mature trees, established plantings, lawns and formal and informal garden spaces. A greenhouse sits within the gardens, flanked by two private offices that provide dedicated workspace separate from the main residence.

Whilton is equally well suited for entertaining and accommodating family and guests. A two-bedroom guest house and separate two-bedroom pool house provide substantial additional living space, while another residence offers flexibility for a farm manager or additional guests. The swimming pool and clay tennis court form a private recreational setting within the grounds.

At one of the property’s higher elevations, a private sporting clays course enjoys sweeping views across Whilton toward Afton and Calf Mountain. Its elevated position provides a remarkable vantage point over the estate and the surrounding Blue Ridge landscape.

Despite its scale and sense of seclusion, Whilton is exceptionally accessible. Crozet is approximately five minutes away for everyday conveniences, dining and the amenities of western Albemarle County, while Charlottesville and the University of Virginia can be reached in approximately 20 minutes.

Rarely does an estate of this scale combine significant acreage, extraordinary gardens, multiple residences, equestrian and sporting amenities, and such convenient access to Charlottesville. Whilton offers the opportunity to continue the stewardship of a distinguished Virginia country property in one of western Albemarle County’s most desirable settings.

Whilton is offered at $15,000,000.
