KerryHill: A Masterpiece of Jeffersonian Elegance in Historic Lexington, Virginia. Where the Blue Ridge and Allegheny Mountains converge, KerryHill rises from its own private summit, defined by panoramic 360° views and a unique balance of history with modern comfort, grandeur with warmth, connection with preserved separation. Atop Jacobs Ladder - where, by its very name, earth meets heaven – mornings arrive softly with a soul-warming symphony of signing birds and the kind of quiet that lets you hear the wind in the sugar maples. Fog drifts through the valley as the first light moves across the mountains and into the house, infusing every room with serenity. Shenandoah Valley unfolds with layered ridgelines, rolling pastures, and horizons of grazing horses and cattle often compared to Switzerland or Tuscany. The Estate’s position gives the sense of living above the clouds. Evenings spoil you with unforgettable sunsets, firefly spectacles, stargazing, Northern Lights and a remarkable cityscape of historic Lexington below. KerryHill is a serene lifestyle you inhabit, one that restores your senses every single day. The Estate’s architectural identity is rooted in Jeffersonian principles, inspired by the Edgemont tradition: bilateral symmetry and three-wing configuration reflect a deliberate commitment to classical American design. Hand-fired Virginia brick, classical columns, antique heart pine floors warmed by radiant heat and eight fireplaces, elevated ceilings, and a copper roof system built to outlast a century- form a framework made to be enjoyed for generations to come. The Main House unfolds through a welcoming foyer into formal living and dining rooms anchored by antique fireplaces of 19th-century provenance. A rare oval living room inspired by early Federal design lends remarkable distinction, while the spacious kitchen pairs a Viking Professional range with custom cabinetry and refined finishes. The primary suite offers quiet comfort and seclusion. Below, the walk-out sanctuary features hand-laid herringbone brick tile floors, fireplace, wet bar, dedicated library, guest quarters, and a period-appropriate dumbwaiter connecting both levels - each detail thoughtfully considered. Three wings are connected by a nearly 50-ft subterranean 'gallery walk' and two crescent-shaped breezeways. The West Wing offers a self-contained 2-bedroom residence. Above the two-car garage, the East Wing features a lounge, guest bath, and games area creating ideal separation for recreation or extended hosting. Step outside to grounds designed with the same level of intention. A gated maple-lined, solar-lit drive ascends to a formal rotunda with a granite fountain and imported firepit, creating a memorable arrival. A 70-ft equestrian round pen and solar-roofed barn sit minutes from the Virginia Horse Center. Cardinals, kingfishers, deer, birds of prey, and many others also call KerryHill home. Professionally curated for four-season beauty and meticulously maintained by a dedicated property care team, the grounds bloom from January to December. Two miles below, downtown Lexington - home to Washington & Lee University since 1749 (VA's top-ranked liberal arts college), Virginia Military Institute since 1839 (ranked 3rd), and the resting place of two of America's most consequential generals- offering cultural, academic, and historic depth. Local medical facilities offer a wide range of services, with world-class UVA Medical within reach, providing convenience and peace of mind. Lexington offers acclaimed dining, boutiques, wineries, breweries, golf, hiking, the caves, kayaking, safari park & zoo, symphony, galleries, and a flourishing arts community. There are homes that impress for a moment. KerryHill stays with you long after you leave- a place where every season, every sunrise, every sunset becomes a part of you.
