Jackie Kennedy's Wexford Goes on the Market

If you're searching for an historic property in Virginia, you might want to consider this.  The Kennedy estate near Middleburg, as in Jackie, is up for sale for a mere $11 million.  The estate is named Wexford is lies just west of the village of Middleburg, VA, about an hour west of Washington, D.C.  The area is exclusive but at $11 million, you are paying top dollar for the historical value of the property, even though JFK is reported to have stayed in the house only once. And the place could use a little updating.











According to the real estate listing:

"This one story 5050 square foot home, rich with character, features original parquet floors, his and her dressing rooms, multiple fireplaces, a formal dining, built-in cabinets and bookcases, nine foot ceilings and alternate power generators.  The surroundings include natural stone landscaping, flagstone pool deck with an outdoor cooking area, vine covered trellises, stone patio and a tennis court. The basement space under the house conceals equipment and utilities. This equestrian property has stables for horses that include water, electrical, storage for hay and two separate living areas.  There is also a separate three car garage with bath and second floor studio/office exists as well.  The property still contains an underground bunker and dependencies used by Secret Service personnel.

The house now sits on 165 acres.  When the Kennedy's owned it the house sat on 40 or so acres.  Jackie sold the property in 1964 for $225,000.

  2. My dad was a builder who worked with the construction company that built Wexford, the Kennedy's house on Rattlesnake Mountain. They had leased Glen Ora (the next farm over from Springfield where my mother's best friend lived and we kids spent most of the summers riding and swimming and playing with the dogs) off the Plains Road outside of Middleburg. Jackie hunted and the kids did Pony Club with us Middleburg kids. It was always an excitement for us when they were in town.
