About the host
Hosted by Scott J. Muchow, Managing Director
I've always loved old things; old properties and old friends. For the past twenty years, I have acquired and restored historic residential, multifamily and commercial properties in the Washington, DC area.
Not too long ago, I began searching for a historic, distinctive property in Loudoun County, VA, about an hour west of Washington, DC that could host weddings, overnight stays, and corporate retreats; but perhaps most importantly could become a real place of rest for so many I knew who were totally burned out, exhausted, and needed to escape the pressures of life for awhile; that place is Heigh Torr.

Why they chose this property
The first time I visited Heigh Torr, I turned off Harpers Ferry Rd. onto the property and stopped my car. It was breathtaking. After a few moments, I started my car again and slowly made my way across nearly a half-mile of fenced driveway passing fields on my left and right as I approached the historic home, cottage, Olympic-sized pool, and barns set on a plateau at the base of the Short Hill Mountains.
There is a stillness here, a quiet, and a sense that we are all merely stewards and guests of a property that has been cared for by many, many families before us...

What makes this property unique
The Heigh Torr Estate is a distinctive, historic retreat offering 178 acres for your vacation stay, corporate retreat, milestone events, or just a much-needed getaway.
The property sleeps 12 in 5 luxuriously-appointed bedrooms and includes 4 1/2 bathrooms. It has substantial formal and casual living areas, a formal dining area, covered outdoor space overlooking the Olympic-sized pool, 2 hot tubs, high-speed Internet, multiple televisions, coffee stations, and more!
When you stay at Heigh Torr, you'll have the entire campus to yourself. Imagine waking up in the morning with a cup of tea or coffee and watching the mist rise off the mountains and fields, heading for a swim, going for a short hike up the mountain, or maybe heading next door for a wine tasting to one of the local wineries or a great meal in nearby Purcellville...
