Huntland is a country house at 35955 Huntland Farm Rd. in Middleburg, Loudoun County, Virginia, built c. 1834 in the Federal style. Around 1915 the house was transformed into a Colonial Revival mansion, with work that year by the firm Peabody, Wilson & Brown, on a 413.5-acre estate.
Why it's listed
Huntland is listed under criteria A and C, with local-level significance in agriculture, architecture, and entertainment and recreation. Its significance spans 1834 to 1962, anchored by the main house's c. 1834 construction and its Colonial Revival remodeling around 1915.
Physical character
The stuccoed main house has a tripartite entrance flanked by brick gateposts with wrought-iron gates, and an inset front porch on an arcade of stuccoed piers. The main house has an elliptical staircase with cantilevered steps and a fanlight worked with spider-web tracery, and the gateposts carry raised Latin and English inscriptions about foxhunting.
Historical context
Joseph B. Thomas bought the property in 1912 and renamed it Huntland. By the 1910s it was the center of the Piedmont Hunt community, with kennels built in 1912 and stables in 1913. The English garden was designed by Peabody, Wilson & Brown around 1915, and Country Life featured it in 1919.
