The obvious appeal of a house on nearly six acres of land is a private sense of peace and tranquility. But the little town of Clifton in Fairfax County enjoys its own popularity, with history buffs and foodies visiting on weekend outings. The area was the site of numerous Civil War skirmishes, with the Orange and Alexandria Railroad establishing Devereux Station in 1863 as the southernmost stop in Union territory. Five years later, Devereux Station became Clifton Station, literally putting the fledgling town on the map. These days, the old tracks still exist; a Main Street placeholder for the Southern Railway Caboose. You can also visit the Clifton Primitive Baptist Church, built by freed African-American slaves in 1871, or see the grand old homes and structures throughout the Clifton Historic District. Local restaurants include the Main Street Pub, Trummer’s Restaurant and Trattoria Villagio. There’s also 8-Acre Park, Webb Nature Sanctuary, zip-lining at Hemlock Overlook Regional Park, the Paradise Springs Winery, local riding stables and the Clifton Horse Society. There are a number of larger towns and cities within minutes of Clifton, such as Centerville, Fairfax Station and Manassas. Here you’ll find plenty of shopping and entertainment. Also close by are numerous national parks and attractions, including Bull Run. Or, head east to Old Town Alexandria or Washington, DC! Living in lavish luxury in a quaint country town, in Virginia’s Tech Corridor and near the nation’s capital, certainly has its benefits.
