Timeless Elegance Meets Modern Luxury In Serene Retreat

How do you begin to describe such a magical place in the heart of Northern Fauquier County, only one hour from Washington DC, and 20 minutes from Paris, Virginia? Close to picturesque country villages, wineries, inns, farm-to-table restaurants, and the Shenandoah mountains, the location is remarkable. At the end of a gorgeous country driveway your new home welcomes you. The property offers peace, privacy, serenity, happiness. The older part of the house was built around 1880, the new one in the 1990s, and recent renovations added a swimming pool, an elevator, solar and geothermal sources of energy, and much more. Enjoy the views from the four bedrooms (three en suite) and from the delightful main level that features an open kitchen, dining room, living room with French doors to a deck, family room opening to a stone patio, office, and a cosy sunroom with a wooden stove. One of the en suite bedrooms is on the older side of the house. A huge unfinished basement awaits input from the new owners. The two-car garage offers hooks for EVs. The barn upper level offers a one-bedroom/one-bath apartment, with a deck, and plenty of attic space. On the main level is a half bath, six stalls, tack room, and wash stall. A pole barn, a fenced-in vegetable garden, beautiful hardscapes, and 78 acres of rolling hills complete this amazing offering. The mix of old charm and new comfort brought the property a Southern Living Home Award in 1999 and a full feature in The Barefoot Home book.
