Murray Hill is an estate at 42910 Edwards Ferry Road, in Loudoun County, Virginia near Leesburg. Just shy of 57 acres (23 ha), the property includes a 1938 Colonial Revival house, as well as an early 19th-century log dwelling and a number of agricultural outbuildings dating mostly to the 19th century. The main house was built by Stirling Murray Rust, and is a conscious emulation of his family's homestead Rockland, located a few miles away. The estate is within the bounds of the theater of the American Civil War Battle of Ball's Bluff; artifacts related to military movements around the battle have been found on the property, as is a portion of a roadway used by Union forces.[2]

The property was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2014.[1]
