Welcome to Mount Airy, the ancestral home of the Tayloe family, located in the Northern Neck of Virginia overlooking the sprawling Rappahannock River. A private family home for over 250 years, Mount Airy remains in the hands of the Tayloe's 10th generation of family. Beautifully maintained, Mount Airy hosts select gala events, weddings and guided hunting upon its grounds welcoming newlyweds, historians, outdoor enthusiasts, photographers, epicures and more to enjoy its splendor.

Built by Col. John Tayloe II (completed 1758), Mount Airy’s significance “rests chiefly on it’s architectural distinction being one of the few stone houses built in Virginia during the 18th century, and represents the first instance in the Colonies of the achievement of the ideal full Palladian villa, with dependent wings connected to the main house by quadrant passages.”

Francis Lightfoot Lee, a signer of the Declaration of Independence, and his wife Rebecca Tayloe are buried on the estate. Mount Airy is an idyllic location for any event and is listed on the Virginia Historic Registry and is a Registered National Historic Landmark.

"But it is more than architecturally significant; Mount Airy is a home that has been lived in and loved for more than two-and-a-half centuries." -- Kathleen Toller, Virginia Living Magazine
