okeby Farm is part of the iconic estate of Paul and Bunny Mellon’s named Oak Spring Farm. Oak Spring is considered one of the most important properties in America, rich in history and provenance. Rokeby which consists of 440 spectacularly beautiful acres was originally purchased in 1931 by Paul’s father, Andrew Mellon, and then acquired by Paul Mellon in 1936. It was the first of many neighboring properties which Paul Mellon acquired in the Virginia countryside to create Oak Spring Farm. Paul’s wife, Bunny Mellon, sculpted Oak Spring into America’s closest version of the English Cotswolds, with lush, green pastures lined with stone walls and board fencing with scenic views of nearby mountain ranges. Rokeby Farm offers equestrian facilities; extraordinary gardens and greenhouses; a rare, private, mile-long airstrip, a charming primary residence, 9 cottages, and numerous other barns, shops and sheds.

Rokeby has a celebrated history in thoroughbred horse racing and breeding. In the 1980’s and 1990’s, Rokeby was regarded as a top equine operation with a very impressive record including a Kentucky Derby win in 1993 by Sea Hero. The Mellons were the only individuals to own the winners of America’s Kentucky Derby, Britain’s Epsom Derby, and France’s Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe. In its heyday, Rokeby was home to 150 horses. In 1971 and 1986, Paul Mellon won the Eclipse Award for Outstanding Breeder. Rokeby with its famed greenhouses and gardens is also known for being home to Bunny Mellon’s horticultural passions. The first time offering of Rokeby Farm in over 75 years represents a unique opportunity to own a piece of American history and a magnificent property. STONE COTTAGE BY YEARLING BARN
