Aldie Homes for Sale & Real Estate Guide
Aldie sits where Route 50 crosses the Little River in eastern Loudoun — a small 1810 mill village with stone walls and rolling pastures. Today it's best known for the preserved Aldie Mill and the farm-to-table community of Willowsford tucked into the surrounding conservancy.

What Buyers Should Know
Aldie is unincorporated and quiet by design. The historic core has a preservation overlay that requires pre-approval for exterior changes, and some village parcels are on well and septic, so plan extra time for records and clearance. It's a place to buy for character and privacy, not for quick in-and-out commuting.
Schools
Aldie is served by Loudoun County Public Schools — verify assignment by address. Assignments vary by address and boundaries change. Verify via official locator. We do not rank schools.
What Sellers Should Know
Buyers come to Aldie for authenticity — either the walkable historic village around Aldie Mill or Willowsford's working farm, trails, and craftsman homes. Lead with which lifestyle you offer, document HOA and farm amenities clearly, and let the land and history do the work.
