Drive west of Winchester through rolling green hills to an area in Frederick County that was formerly part of Merryman Farm. This tour includes four private properties, conveniently located on two adjacent streets. Each home has been transformed at one point or another to include gorgeous additions and practical updates. The homes are set on large acreages in tranquil, rural surroundings. Appreciate stunning pools, enchanting gardens, interesting homeowner collections, beautiful millwork, an outdoor kitchen, and even a herd of longhorn cattle. Visitors to this bucolic area of Virginia will also enjoy farmer’s markets, battlefields, outstanding restaurants, as well as the gardens of the Museum of the Shenandoah Valley, the tour headquarters, where admission is free with a tour ticket.
