About this home

Ben Lomond, circa 1730 - 1735, is a historically significant estate of classic Georgian proportions in Essex County, Virginia, 4.9 miles south of Tappahannock. The manor house is beautifully sited on a high hill above the Rappahannock River Valley, with views still visible from the rooftop observatory and second-story windows. Vast lawns and ancient, towering trees, including several varieties of magnolia, oak, walnut, holly trees, dogwood and rivers of daffodils, define the grounds and are among the hallmarks of this exceptional property. Originally built as a side-hall Federal, with two stories above a high English basement, Ben Lomond was enlarged and transformed around 1840 by its then-owner, Muscoe Garnett, who added the east-end additions, mirrored chimneys, hip roof and Georgian elements visible today. This truly elegant country home is a serene oasis with 18- to 24-inch-thick brick walls, updated systems, deep window wells, and welcoming interior spaces that truly captivate....
