Description:

Lucky Hit is one of the oldest of the important houses in historic Clarke County. Built in 1791 by Richard Kidder Meade, it is located south of Route 50 in a beautiful area of the county, surrounded by large farms, and across from the 400 acre State Arboretum of Viginia. The views to the east and south are of mountains and rolling fields: to the west is the village of White Post, where a survey marker was placed by a young George Washington when he surveyed the area. The property includes two adjacent parcels, one of 30 acres (tax ID 28--A-39) with the house, and the other 54.3 acres (tax ID #28--A-39B), which has one dwelling unit right. The larger parcel is open and flat, and would make a great location for a horse facility. The original house is built of brick, with 16 ft. ceilings, all the original doors and molding, original floors, eight wood-burning fireplaces, of which seven are usable, all in excellent condition. The rooms are classically proportioned, with a balance between formality and warmth.
