It’s not every day a piece of property packed with history, multiple dwellings, and acres of land hits the market. Say hello to the Marylou Whitney Farm. Before we dive into what we love, here are some fast facts:

  • Located at 3521 Bryan Station Rd.
  • Listed for $6+ million
  • 72 acres of farmland featuring three dwellings, as well as a cozy wooden chapel, two barns, and two equipment sheds

Let’s take a closer look at the Federal-style main house which boasts eight bedrooms, four bathrooms, and 8,400 sqft of brightly colored walls, sunny porches, and countless rooms filled with equine excellence. Fun fact: You can see a dollhouse sized model of the home at the Headley-Whitney Museum.

One of the major themes we’re loving here — color. Think: A garden room boasting hand-painted Kelly green and white walls, a golden yellow primary suite with lime green trim (trust us, it works), and a preppy peach sun porch with white lattice.

In addition to the surrounding rose gardens, brick walking paths, and castle-worthy formal dining room, here are some other aspects we love:

  • A bold red trophy room with neighboring wet bar
  • A dinner porch that opens to an expansive brick patio
  • The hand-carved woodwork on the walls and ceiling of “the Egyptian room”
  • A Romanesque atrium style pool house containing an Olympic size pool
