History
Westwood is situated on 65 acres of lush Spotsylvania countryside. It is one of the original Historic Plantations located on Guinea Station Road, and the second oldest in the county. The original home was built in 1818, with a small office and kitchen added in the early 1900's. The home has been witness to many decades of war, prosperity and family.

Westwood is located on historic Guinea Station Road. During a night reconnaissance at Chancellorsville on May 2nd, 1863, Stonewall Jackson was wounded by his own men. While being carried from the field, he was dropped on his wounded arm, and he lost around half of his blood as a result. His left arm was amputated, and Jackson was sent by ambulance down Guinea Station Road to the Chandler House, where he spent his final days. Gaze from the front stoop out to what must have only been a dusty country lane and you can almost see the dust cloud left trailing behind Stonewall’s ambulance. If you close your eyes and listen to the distant whistle of the passing train, you can imagine yourself back in that time, where Westwood stood witness to this historic event.

Westwood was originally restored about 30 years ago and both the home and equine facilities have been lovingly restored and updated over the past 2 years by the current owners. Improvements to the home include a new kitchen, master bathroom, office, and much more listed below. In addition to the it’s long history, wonderful plantation home, and remarkable pastoral views, Westwood offers a turn key horse facility with all of the modern amenities any equine enthusiast could ask for.

Westwood is ready to offer you many years of quality country living without sacrificing the comfort of modern conveniences and location. Just a few miles from Interstate 95, schools, Cosner's Corner Retail Center, and the brand new Spotsylvania Regional Medical Center, there is no easier way to combine the peace and serenity of your own private, historic estate with the convenience and access to anywhere you need to go. Simplify your life and build your own history with this endearing Spotsylvania gem.
