The Brown–Koerner House is a historic farm property at 38340 Winsome Trail Lane, in rural Loudoun County, Virginia northeast of Purcellville. The centerpiece of the property is a two-story stone farmhouse built about 1815, along with a period springhouse and retaining wall. It is a fine example of period domestic architecture, and remains relatively isolated despite the loss to development of surrounding land that once formed part of the property.[2]
