Huntland (Middleburg, Virginia)
By Seeker
Huntland, a historic estate in Middleburg, Virginia, originally known as New Lisbon, features a Federal style brick dwelling built in 1834 by master brickmason William Benton Sr. The estate underwent significant remodeling in 1915, adding Colonial Revival details and enhancing its grounds with English manor-style gardens and state-of-the-art equestrian facilities. Once a hub for foxhunting, Huntland served as a retreat for notable figures, including President Lyndon B. Johnson, and was the site of secret international negotiations in 1962. The property, which includes several historic outbuildings, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2013, making it a fascinating destination for tourists and researchers alike.
