Hunt Country Style celebrates both a lifestyle and a discrete building tradition beloved nationwide. Wood-paneled libraries, sumptuously appointed interiors, mudrooms, paddocks, stables are all signature elements of this equestrian-based style and way of life aspired to across the country - from Napa, California, to Lexington, Kentucky, to Greenwich, Connecticut, and Saratoga, New York. The beginnings reach back to America s first built vision and many of the finest examples of this style of interiors and architecture are to be found in the Piedmont of Northern Virginia from Middleburg to Charlottesville, where for centuries a lifestyle and architecture have been honed to produce some of the most beautiful homes anywhere. The houses featured in this luxurious volume range from с.1730 Oakland Green Farm in Loudoun County - a quintessential Quaker homestead originally constructed of hand-hewn logs that has evolved through the centuries into a beautiful Virginia farmhouse incorporating fieldstone and locally fired brick structures - and historic Castle Hill in Keswick, a stately Federal mansion built by one of Thomas Jefferson s brick masons, set on over 1000 acres of farmland and forests, to 1941 Henchman s Lea, an outstanding example of American Revival architecture in Fauquier County and a working farm created for the enjoyment of the beauty inherent in rural Virginia living/Through specially commissioned, full-color photography, Hunt Country Style showcases 20 houses that wonderfully epitomize this tradition and evoke its most inviting and beloved features.
