The Oaks was designed by George S. Howe of Philadelphia in 1935 and built by Hanback, as a country home for Mr. and Mrs. Felix DuPont, Jr. of Wilmington, DE. . The older farmhouse on the property was built by Richard Johnson, son of Amos Johnson, one of the original Fauquier County landowners of the early nineteenth century. The property was purchased in the 1960's by Joan Irvine Smith of Orange County, CA. She was married to Morton W. "Cappy" Smith, the famous Virginia horseman and Master of the Orange County Hounds. The Oaks is located in prime Orange County Hunt Territory with tremendous ride out potential, and tremendous views. This property is in a VOF Easement and is surrounded by properties protected by Conservation Easements. The handsome setting of this home is enhanced by mature trees and boxwoods. The Oaks is a significant horse property. In addition to the main Stone House which was extensively renovated in 2011 and 2012, additional structures include: Swimming Pool (2013), 2 bedroom Guest House, 4 bay Garage, Main Barn with 10 stalls, Indoor Ring, Upper level apartment, 8 paddocks, round pen, schooling pen, Hunter Barn with 9 stalls, Office by Hunter barn with 1 bedroom, 1 bath, Silo Barn with 1 bedroom apartment, wash stall, tack room, Machine Shop, Storage Shed with 3 bays and workroom.
