HOUSE OF THE WEEK | Llangollen, in Upperville, Va., once home to one of the major racing stables in the United States, recently hosted Virginia International Polo Club.

Llangollen | The 1,100-acre property, which has been added to the National Register of Historic Places, is in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains. It is listed at $27.5 million.

The Whitneys founded the Llangollen Race Meeting, a steeplechase that attracted 20,000 spectators. They transformed the manor house in 1931 and added nine guesthouses, a polo field, a racetrack, a training track and the estate’s famous horseshoe-shaped stables. Roy Ash, a California businessman who was a budgetary adviser in Richard M. Nixon’s and Gerald Ford’s administrations, acquired Llangollen in 1989, saving the manor house from developers who wanted to tear it down to build houses. Ash restored the house and modernized it.
