Home Farm is a historic home located near Leesburg, Loudoun County, Virginia. The original log section of the house was built about 1757, with a stone addition built about 1810, a frame addition built about 1830, and a frame kitchen addition built about 1930. It is an L-shaped, two-story, single-pile vernacular house clad in wood siding, random rubble fieldstone, and brick veneer laid. The interior exhibits stylistic influences of the Federal style. Also on the property are a contributing early-20th century henhouse, the stone foundation of a spring house, and a dry-laid fieldstone wall.[3]

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2007.[1]
