About This Home
As of January 2025Sawmill Hill, a beautifully renovated circa 1915 home, offers the perfect blend of historic charm and modern convenience. Situated on 2.37 peaceful acres in the scenic Short Hills of Virginia, this property is a serene retreat for nature lovers, stargazers, or anyone seeking tranquility. Adjacent to conserved forest land, the setting is private and picturesque, with an ever-flowing mountain spring adding to its natural beauty.
The home features 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom, and a spacious great room. All major renovations were completed within the last four years, including new electrical, plumbing, insulation, siding, and windows. The kitchen has been updated with modern appliances, including a refrigerator, stove, dishwasher, and a washer/dryer combo. Additional upgrades from 2020 include a new roof, water heater, pressure tank, and a mini-split heat/AC system supplemented by electric baseboard heat. A newly drilled well and a 4-bedroom septic system provide added value, offering the potential to build an additional home on the property or convert the existing house into a rental or office space. This is truly an old home with new systems, ready for modern living while preserving its historic character.
Zoned AR1 with no HOA restrictions, the property offers endless possibilities. The expansive land is ideal for outdoor activities, and the open skies make it perfect for stargazing. Located just 15 minutes from the Brunswick MARC Station, commuting is convenient while still allowing you to enjoy the peace and beauty of the countryside. Short Hill is nestled between the Blue Ridge Mountains and the Catoctin Valley, an area known as "Between the Hills." This stunning region includes the charming villages of Loudoun Heights and Neersville, providing a sense of community amidst the unspoiled natural landscape. The property’s prime location also offers proximity to Virginia State Route 9 at Hillsboro, the only road crossing the mountain, making it easy to access surrounding areas.
Short Hill is a treasured part of Loudoun County, with much of the mountain remaining undeveloped and privately owned. A small portion of the northwestern slope, adjoining the Potomac River, is preserved by the National Park Service to protect the downriver views for Harpers Ferry National Historical Park. This unique location combines history, nature, and modern convenience in one remarkable package.
Whether you’re seeking a full-time residence, a weekend escape, or an investment opportunity, Sawmill Hill is a rare find. Don’t miss the chance to own a piece of history in this idyllic corner of Loudoun County, where modern amenities meet the timeless beauty of Virginia’s countryside.
