About This Home

9000 Philpott Road

A rare opportunity to own one of Halifax County's most distinguished historic estates. The sale includes the Main home at 9000 & 9008 Philpott, secondary-income producing home-2BR 1 Bath. Bloomsburg, also known as the Watkins House, is a remarkable Greek Revival property whose main residence was completed circa 1839 for merchant-planter Alexander Watkins. Recognized as one of the first generation of Greek Revival houses in Halifax County, Bloomsburg was listed on the Virginia Landmarks Register and the National Register of Historic Places in 2017. Set amid approximately 94 acres of beautifully maintained pastures and countryside, the estate offers a setting every bit as impressive as its history. Architectural details documented by the Virginia Department of Historic Resources include marble mantels, decorative plaster cornices and ceiling medallions, an ornamental staircase, and surviving historic dependencies including a mid-19th-century brick kitchen and carriage house. Today, Bloomsburg combines its irreplaceable historic character with the comforts expected of a modern country estate. Numerous system upgrades have been thoughtfully incorporated while preserving the home's architectural significance. Outdoors, an in-ground swimming pool, gazebo, expansive grounds, and manicured pastures create exceptional spaces for entertaining, recreation, horses, farming, or simply enjoying the privacy of nearly 100 acres. Adding even greater versatility is a separate two-bedroom residence currently producing rental income, offering an immediate income stream and possibilities for a guest house, caretaker's residence, or multigenerational living. Bloomsburg is more than a home—it is an opportunity to become the next steward of a property woven into the history of Halifax County.
