A Living Piece of American History: Introducing Chamblin Mill Estate

36155 Chamblin Mill Lane, Purcellville, VA 20132 | Offered at $2,248,000

As someone who specializes in historic properties throughout the DMV region, I can honestly say that properties like Chamblin Mill Estate are truly once-in-a-lifetime discoveries. When my esteemed colleague Candice Bower brought this remarkable listing to my attention, I knew immediately that this wasn't just another house on the market—this is a genuine piece of American history that has been lovingly preserved for future generations.

Where History Comes Alive

Nestled on 3.21 picturesque acres in Purcellville, Virginia, Chamblin Mill Estate tells a story that spans over two centuries. Built circa 1792, this property began its life as a thriving grist mill, serving the local community during the early days of our nation. The mill itself may have been lost to the flames of the Civil War, but the Miller's home survived—and what a survivor it is.

Walking through this home, you can literally feel the weight of history in every room. The original craftsmanship and architectural details speak to a time when homes were built to last for generations, not just decades.

Seamless Blend of Old and New

What makes Chamblin Mill Estate truly exceptional is how thoughtfully it has been enhanced while preserving its historic soul. The current owners have masterfully expanded the property with two significant additions that complement rather than compete with the original structure.

The first addition includes a three-car garage and a completely self-contained guesthouse. This isn't just a converted space—it's a fully equipped one-level residence with two bedrooms, full bath, kitchen, dining room, family room, and its own welcoming front porch. Whether you're considering multi-generational living, hosting long-term guests, or exploring rental income opportunities, this separate living space offers incredible flexibility.

The second addition brings luxury into the 21st century with a stunning stone foyer, additional family room, half bath, and a private primary suite that serves as a peaceful retreat within your own home.

Creek-Front Living at Its Finest

Beyond the historic significance lies one of the property's most enchanting features: approximately 1,000 feet of pristine frontage along Beaver Dam Creek. There's something magical about waking up to the gentle sound of flowing water, and this creek frontage transforms the property into a private sanctuary.

The outdoor amenities are equally impressive. An in-ground pool with spa creates the perfect setting for summer entertaining, while the expansive patio and rear porch offer multiple spaces for relaxation and al fresco dining. Even the charming dove house adds to the property's unique character and connection to rural Virginia traditions.

More Than a Home—A Legacy

With over 4,000 square feet of living space, five bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms, and five wood-burning fireplaces, Chamblin Mill Estate offers both grand entertaining spaces and intimate gathering areas. But what sets this property apart isn't just its impressive statistics—it's the intangible sense of permanence and continuity that comes with owning a piece of American history.

This is a home where children can learn about our nation's past not from textbooks, but by walking the same floors and touching the same walls that have sheltered families for over two centuries. It's a place where modern conveniences enhance rather than diminish the authentic historic experience.

A Rare Opportunity

In my years specializing in historic properties, I've learned that homes like Chamblin Mill Estate don't come to market often. When they do, they attract buyers who understand that they're not just purchasing real estate—they're becoming stewards of history.

Working alongside Candice Bower, whose 40 years of experience and recognition as Virginia REALTOR® of the Year speaks to her exceptional expertise, I'm confident that this property will find the right family—one that appreciates both its remarkable past and its promising future.

If you've been searching for a property that offers more than just square footage and amenities, if you want a home with a story to tell and a legacy to continue, Chamblin Mill Estate may be exactly what you've been looking for.

This seat has been reserved for the next stewards of Chamblin Mill Estate.
