Property Description

Prepare to be captivated by one of the most historically significant and visually breathtaking estates in Warren County. Nestled on 21 rolling acres with stunning mountain views, this remarkable property dates to approximately 1800 and offers a profound connection to American history. Historically known as Genlue Park, it was once the cherished home of Colonel Parker Hitt- renowned as the "father of American military cryptology." Its storied walls have hosted legendary figures, with David Kahn's The Codebreakers even recounting President Dwight D. Eisenhower visiting the Hitts at this very Front Royal estate.

While the property radiates 19th-century charm, it is completely move-in ready and prepared for modern living. The estate has been modernized with updated utilities, seamlessly blending historic integrity with contemporary reliability, comfort, and efficiency. You can enjoy the rich legacy of this home from day one without sacrificing today's conveniences.

The crown jewel of the home is its spectacular great room. Brimming with jaw-dropping character, this space previously served as Lane's Tavern and the first Warren County courthouse before being meticulously moved and integrated into the residence. Today, it stands as an architectural masterpiece, offering an historic ambiance that simply cannot be replicated.

Blending timeless heritage with vibrant, bespoke artistry, the interior features stunning, one-of-a-kind wall murals. These hand-painted masterpieces infuse the living spaces with an undeniable soul, transforming the home into a living gallery. Every room tells a story, perfectly balancing the estate's rugged historic bones with whimsical, custom charm.

Outside, the property opens up to a private 21-acre paradise. Whether you are enjoying a morning coffee or watching the sunset, the dramatic mountain backdrop provides a serene, ever-changing landscape of natural beauty. The vast acreage offers incredible privacy, space to roam, and endless possibilities for outdoor enjoyment.

From the rich wood finishes and foundational echoes of the 19th century to its elite military provenance, this isn't just a place to live- it is a piece of the American tapestry. Ideal for history buffs, art lovers, or anyone seeking a truly unique sanctuary. This is your chance to own a home where history was made and inspiration lives on.
