The easement donations are from: Montpelier LLC, 399 acres, east side of 231 including the historic plantation house; Cliff Miller, 604 acres of Mount Vernon Farm, adjacent to Sperryville including much of Turkey Mountain; Thomas Walker Jr., 199 acres, part of old High Meadow Farm east of Flint Hill; Margaret and Bill Greer, 153 acres, top of Red Oak Mountain; and Leslie and Andrew Cockbum, 118 acres, slopes of Red Oak Mountain.

Under terms of the easement, the property may be divided into no more than four parcels. The Montpelier house may be repaired, renovated, or replaced—but not demolished without VOF approval.

Three new primary dwellings are allowed, as well as eight secondary dwellings, along with outbuildings and swimming pools. The existing aircraft hangars and airstrip may be repaired or demolished.

A riparian buffer is established along the Hazel River, and no building or structure may be built within 400 feet of the centerline of Route 231.

These six gifts bring easement protection in Rappahannock County to 16,169 acres, which is nearly 12 percent of all privately owned land. They also are estimated to increase state aid to Rappahannock schools by more than $2,000 per year.
