I would correct the above statement that the estate is "designed for the equestrian" as that is misleading. The property is fine for race horses, steeplechasers and a number of carriage horse events have been held there. However "equestrian" tends to suggest jumper/hunter/dressage of which no indoor or outdoor arena exists; the horseshoe styled main stable is designed for racers Mrs. Whitney had there.]]>Sep 6th 2006 1:37PMhttp://www.luxist.com/2006/09/05/llangollen-farm-estate-of-the-day/http://www.luxist.com/2006/09/05/llangollen-farm-estate-of-the-day/Sep 6th 2006 6:10PMhttp://www.luxist.com/2006/09/05/llangollen-farm-estate-of-the-day/http://www.luxist.com/2006/09/05/llangollen-farm-estate-of-the-day/
It is one of the nicest offerings, from an imposing presentation, to come on the market in years. The last that I can recall of this calibre was the former Walter Chrysler estate "North Wales" in Warrenton, bought by Dallas-based Michael Prentiss. To a lesser extent, due to its terrible shape at the time of sale, the nearby "Ayrshire Farm" bought by Cisco founder Sandy Lerner.

A lot of nice residence have come on the market in recent years which are 'smaller' (but still very pricy) from "St. Brides" in Upperville to Mary Schwab's "Stoneleigh" on the edge of Middleburg to 1990's sales such as Sen. Warner's "Atoka", Jack Kent Cooke's "Kent Farms" and John Cooke's more recent purchase of "Boxwood".

At $22M I think the property is priced quite right with other completed sales in the area like Bolinvar (~ $16M) which had less acreage and a a notch lower prestige/history factor.]]>Sep 7th 2006 4:44PMhttp://www.luxist.com/2006/09/05/llangollen-farm-estate-of-the-day/http://www.luxist.com/2006/09/05/llangollen-farm-estate-of-the-day/
There is also Canterbury down in Warrenton, currently being flipped...but you know that already too I'll bet......from what I can tell, the "flippers" have yet to do any real damage.

One hopes land restrictions are in place on Llangollen. ]]>Sep 10th 2006 10:42PMhttp://www.luxist.com/2006/09/05/llangollen-farm-estate-of-the-day/http://www.luxist.com/2006/09/05/llangollen-farm-estate-of-the-day/Oct 2nd 2006 6:24PMhttp://www.luxist.com/2006/09/05/llangollen-farm-estate-of-the-day/http://www.luxist.com/2006/09/05/llangollen-farm-estate-of-the-day/
