Llangollen Farm

Eight miles (13 km) from the town of Middleburg, the area is home to a number of prominent Thoroughbred-breeding farms and a large country estates.

By 1930, only 2,200 acres (8.90 km2) remained of the Llangollen estate when John Hay "Jock" Whitney purchased it as a wedding gift for his fiancée, Mary Elizabeth "Liz" Altemus.

[7] In 1984 1,085.22 acres of property, including the house and barns, was put into permanent protective easement to prevent the estate from ever being broken up and developed.

They earned wide recognition and received major awards for implementing environmental conservation methods that protected the water on the land through hardened low-water crossings and the creation of acres of riparian buffers that also provided habitat for wildlife.

Approaching his ninetieth birthday, in 2007 Roy Ash sold the Llangollen estate for $22 million to a corporation controlled by American businessman Donald P. Brennan and his wife, Patricia.

[1] Daughter Maureen, bringing the sport of polo to the estate and filling the pastures and fields once again with horses, formed the VIPolo Club training facility at Llangollen.
