Mr. Maazel already owned neighboring Castleton Farms, which once belonged to the Henrys.
He is the conductor of the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra. He spends as much time as he can in the county, said Rick Kohler, who sells real estate for Frank Hardy and represented the buyer in the purchases.
Mr. Maazel paid $1.15 million for 55.7 acres purchased from Homer Henry and his wife, $630,000 for 25.93 acres purchased from Stewart Henry and his wife, and $620,000 for 18.47 acres purchased from J. Kent Henry and his wife.
These properties connect to the 73.59-acre Castleton Farms and provide road frontage at the corner of Routes 618 and 616 in Castleton. Eileen M. Day Realtors represented the sellers in the transactions.
Mr. Kohler said Mr. Maazel “loves Rappahannock” and intends . to make the county his retirement home. He purchased the properties as an investment, Mr. Kohler said.
Castleton Farms is currently being farmed with beef cattle. Mr. Kohler said he understands Mr. Maazel will use some of the additional property for pasture and hay and will rent the houses.
He said Mr. Maazel began conducting at eight years of age and by the time he was eleven, he had served as guest conductor at most of the major symphonies in the United States.
Mr. Kohler said, “He is considered one of the top conductors in the world.” He said he recently had the opportunity of attending a concert of the National Symphony with Mr. Maazel conducting and found the experience “fascinating.”
