There are properties that simply offer shelter, and then there are those that carry the weight of history while still embracing the rhythms of contemporary life. Chamblin Mill, located at 36155 Chamblin Mill Lane in Purcellville, is the latter—a rare estate where nearly 250 years of American heritage meets thoughtful modern renovation.
The Story Behind the Stone
Originally constructed in 1792 as a working grist mill, this property served as a vital landmark in early Loudoun County. While the mill structure itself was lost during the Civil War, the Miller's home survived and now forms the heart of the main residence. That sense of endurance—of a home that has weathered centuries and still stands ready to shelter another generation—is palpable the moment one steps through the door.

The main residence offers approximately 4,700 square feet of living space across multiple levels, with four bedrooms and three and a half baths. Five wood-burning fireplaces anchor the interior, each adding warmth that no modern HVAC system can replicate. Exposed beams, hardwood floors, and stone elements honor the home's origins, while updated kitchens and baths ensure daily comfort.



Creek Frontage and Natural Beauty
Set on approximately 3.21 acres, the property includes roughly 1,000 feet of frontage along Beaver Dam Creek. The grounds feature mature trees, a dove house, expansive patio areas, and an in-ground pool with spa—spaces designed for both quiet reflection and gathering.



A Flexible Guest House
One of the property's most notable features is a fully independent guest house with its own entrance, driveway, and utilities. This one-level residence includes one bedroom, a den or study, full bath, kitchen, dining area, family room, fireplace, and a welcoming front porch overlooking the creek. Whether used for visiting family, rental income, or a detached home office, it offers genuine flexibility.
Floor Plans
Practical Considerations
The property includes a three-car attached garage and is zoned AR1. Current annual taxes are approximately $9,950. Of particular note for qualified buyers: an assumable loan at 2.75% may be available—a significant consideration in today's rate environment.

Schools serving this address include Banneker Elementary, Blue Ridge Middle, and Loudoun Valley High School, all within the Loudoun County Public Schools system.
