3707 Carrington Rd, Delaplane, VA 20144

Carrington Farm, set on 50 private acres in bucolic Delaplane, is steeped in history and now on the market for the first time in 85 years. Built in 1830 by John Marshall, the fourth Chief Justice of the United States, as a wedding gift for his youngest son Edward Carrington Marshall. Inside, the home retains the character and grandeur that only a residence of this vintage and provenance can offer, characterized by grand-scale rooms with 11-foot ceilings, Jefferson windows, uniquely intricate fireplaces and millwork, and countless enchanting period architectural details preserved. The airy floor plan allows for splendid social flow within the home and outdoors to the ethereally beautiful and thoughtfully sited private grounds bordered by exquisite stacked stone walls from the home's original garden allée, many 150-200 year old plantings and trees, and serene surrounding pastoral and mountain views. Original bank barns still stand on the property, and the guest house which once served as a schoolhouse for the Marshall family children offers a glimpse into everyday life of the 19th century. New propane furnace installed and septic system work completed in September 2025.
