How do you begin to describe such a magical place in the heart of Northern Fauquier County, only 1 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 major remodel year was done in 2017 (garage, elevator, master suite, piano room, office and basement. The kitchen remodeled in 2014 and previous owners did the major addition on the great room in 1999. Recent renovations were done to the swimming pool. House is equipped with solar and geothermal sources of energy.
Enjoy the views from the 4 bedrooms (3 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 2-car garage offers one hook for EVs.
The barn upper level offers a 1br/1ba apartment, with a deck, and plenty of attic space. On the main level is a half bath, 6 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 “The Barefoot Home” book. The next owners will quickly understand why this very special property is absolutely unique.
