The
natural beauty
of the area
just draws
you there.
LUCKETTS, VA
Loudoun's Little Lucketts
Come visit and enjoy wine, the Old Dominion and song.
B
usy roads, construction projects and
industrious workers show why
Loudoun County is one of the
wealthiest and fastest-growing counties in
the United States.
But away from the hubbub around
Leesburg, and about an hour from
Washington, D.C., Loudoun's rolling pastures
with mountain views restore the urban soul.
A favorite destination for people looking
for fun and leisure is Lucketts - one of the
county's most charming bucolic villages.
There, residents and visitors find wine, Old
Dominion stories and song!
Loudoun's Lucketts near Leesburg
Lucketts sits along U.S. Route 15 about
7 miles north of Leesburg and 4 miles
south of the Point of Rocks bridge that
crosses over the Potomac River. The
village, with charming shops and a
popular community center, radiates into
the countryside where farms, wineries and
breweries attract city dwellers weary of
concrete and deadlines.
" In Lucketts, I'm in my element, " says
28 | Cooperative Living | September 2018
Geary Higgins, county supervisor for
Lucketts and the Catoctin District. " You
have the village with its antique and
vintage stores and the Lucketts
Community Center with its many local
events, including renowned bluegrass
concerts. The natural beauty of the area
just draws you there. My wife and I love
history and antiquing. And we enjoy a
good glass of wine or beer. If you like
history, natural beauty and a rural setting,
you can't go wrong. "
Mike Mumma, a Northern Virginia
Electric Cooperative (NOVEC) member
and Lucketts resident, agrees. The director
of information technology for a research
institute in Maryland says, " In less than
an hour you can go from urban centers
and Dulles Airport to Lucketts with its
country living and farm-fresh food. "
Judy Klock, who moved with her family
to Lucketts in the Catoctin Mountain
region from a busy suburb, says, " You
get the best of both worlds here - the
scenery and wineries, yet just a few miles
from Leesburg. " The maker of handcrafted
cards adds, " I can breathe here! "
Susan and Kenny Lee, who own a large
cattle and hay farm, want to hold onto
Lucketts' rural character. " We put our
farm in a conservation easement instead
of developing it, " Susan Lee explains.
A Welcoming Community
As much as Lucketts' residents love
country living and their cottage industries,
they care just as much about each other
and their community.
" Lucketts' folks are a part of what
makes this beautiful rural community
rare, " says Mary Gustafson, coordinator/
designer of the Lucketts News & Notes.
