One of the Shenandoah Valley's most beautiful properties, Annfield is an estate of rich history and architectural distinction. This circa-1790 residence was built and named by Mathew Page for his bride Ann Meade, cousin of Mrs. George Washington Custis, whose daughter Mary was born at Annfield and later married Robert e. Lee.

Designed in elegant symmetry, the Georgian manor is nearly an exact replica of the Deanerie of London's St. Paul Cathedral, designed by Christopher Wren. The residence is set like a jewel amidst over 300 pastoral acres in the Blue Ridge Hunt, with stunning views to the Blue Ridge Mountains.

The native blue limestone facade features a slate hipped roof and two-story portico with Chinese Chippendale balustrade. Hessian soldiers are believed to have carved the intricate interior millwork, considered among the finest of the period. The magnificent formal garden is abloom with color throughout the seasons.

A distinguished historic property, Annfield has been lovingly maintained and restored to secure its place on both the Virginia Landmark Register and National Register of Historic Places
