Ten Acres on Clover Hill: A Waterford VA Horse Property We're Watching

Out here in western Loudoun, certain addresses just stick with you. Clover Hill Road is one of those — a quiet little stretch tucked between working horse farms, with the Blue Ridge sitting pretty in the distance and the village of Waterford about a five-minute drive down the road. So when 15018 Clover Hill came back on the market this fall — a Waterford VA horse property on approx. ten acres — y'all better believe we took notice.
This isn't our listing. Our friend Christy Hertel at Hunt Country Sotheby's International Realty has the honor, and she was kind enough to let us write about it here — because this is the kind of place we want to bring along when folks ask us what western Loudoun living actually looks like.
The setting
The house sits on approx. ten acres of rolling pasture and woods, set well back from the road. The first thing you notice driving in is the quiet. The second is the light — there's a long western view from the top of the property that catches the sunset over the foothills in a way that's hard to replicate anywhere else in the county.
Just outside the door: the village of Waterford, a National Historic Landmark that's been continuously preserved since the eighteenth century. Streetscape hasn't really changed in two hundred years. The Waterford Fair pulls folks in from across the region every October. Neighbors are the kind of people who'll wave you down to talk about their hay crop. Leesburg is approx. ten minutes east. Dulles approx. twenty-five.
A horse property at a small scale
If horses are part of how you're picturing the next chapter, Clover Hill is set up for it — without committing you to a full operation. There's a fenced paddock and a run-in shed in place. It's the scale we'd call a small horse property rather than a working farm: enough infrastructure for a couple of horses, or for boarding a pony or two for the grandkids, without the demands of the bigger equestrian spreads further out toward Middleburg. For buyers who've been priced out of the larger Loudoun County horse properties, or who simply don't want all that land to manage, this scale is genuinely hard to find around Waterford.
The home itself
The house is a 2002-built colonial — white clapboard with stone accents, dormers across the upper level, a sweet little cupola at the gable. Inside, the millwork is something. American cherry floors run through the main level. The foyer staircase is custom-built and frames a tall arched window. The family room is the kind of sunken, stone-fireplace room we don't see much in new construction anymore — floor-to-ceiling stonework and built-in shelving on either side.
The kitchen sits on the sunny side of the house with granite counters and a full suite of brand-new 2025 appliances. Upstairs, three ensuite bedrooms, every one with a walk-in closet. The primary bath has a freestanding claw-foot tub that's been catching eyes online. And there's a sprawling bonus room on the upper level with vaulted ceilings, skylights, and a triple window framing that western view we mentioned earlier.
The walk-out lower level opens straight onto the pool and gardens. The pool itself was refinished this year with a dark-bottom treatment that gives it that quiet, pond-like look against the green of the pasture. Two Trex decks make for easy outdoor living.
What's new in 2025
Quite a lot, actually. The pool refinish, fresh paint throughout, all-new windows, all-new exterior doors, and those new kitchen appliances. Bones are 2002. Systems and surfaces have been given a real refresh.
