Level Loop (c. 1819) and its 145 acres comprise one of Virginia's most significant historic farms in a timeless country setting among the pristine pastures, creeks, woodlands, and mountains of the Shenandoah Valley. With over one mile of Hays Creek meandering through its level fields in its eponymous loop, Level Loop's premier feature is its prominent Federal brick manor showcasing well-preserved architectural elements set against a backdrop of iconic Jump Mountain. Built to the highest standards of craftsmanship by William Houston, a relative of Texas pioneer and Rockbridge County native, Sam Houston, the property features original Flemish bond brickwork, hand-laid limestone foundation, and a molded brick cornice.

Inside, classic carved mantels, chair rail with decorated frieze, and 5 fireplaces including a firebox made from early locally produced iron contribute to its elegance and charm. Period outbuildings adorn verdant grounds including an early 20th century bank barn, granary, smokehouse with cupola, and a remarkable stone chimney from its original outdoor kitchen. Contributing to the pastoral setting of the Brownsburg Historic District one mile to the east, Level Loop's hay ground and livestock pastures allow for productive land use and a meaningful escape to a past era. A testament to Virginia's rich tapestry of heritage, Level Loop is listed on the Virginia Landmarks Register and the National Register of Historic Places and is protected by an historic easement that permits a division.
