About this home
Set amid a patchwork of storied farms and unspoiled landscapes, this distinguished property captures the essence of European elegance while embracing the beauty and bounty of rural Virginia. As you approach the circular cobblestone drive and pass the fountain, double solid mahogany entry doors - locally crafted - welcome you to a home designed for both beauty and function. Inside the Main Residence, limestone floors, a sleek gourmet kitchen, and a private wine cellar anchor interiors that radiate warmth and refinement. A dry bar connects the gourmet kitchen to the gracious dining room, where a fireplace creates an inviting backdrop for winter gatherings. Expansive windows frame sweeping vistas, ensuring every room feels connected to the surrounding gardens. A thoughtfully designed Guest Apartment offers its own entrance, kitchenette, fireplace, and spacious bedroom, ideal for hosting friends and family in complete comfort.
The property’s grounds are a living masterpiece. Meticulously designed with native plants and pollinator-friendly landscaping, every pathway reveals a new discovery. The gardens themselves documented by the Dolly Madison Garden Club and made part of The Garden Club of America Collection at the Smithsonian’s Archives of American Gardens. Highlights of the property include a saltwater pool with pool house, a private pond with dock, a greenhouse and potting shed, a charming garden house, and a well-equipped sports court. For moments of retreat, enjoy the private gym and sauna. Practical luxuries include an automatic generator, equipment barn, and a three-bay garage with front and rear entry and electric car charging.
While the estate feels like a private escape, convenience is at your doorstep. Charming villages such as Orange, Culpeper, and Gordonsville are minutes away, offering farm markets, cafés, and wineries. Multiple routes lead to Charlottesville’s shops, restaurants, and cultural attractions. Amtrak service in nearby Culpeper makes a day trip to Washington, D.C. effortless, and Dulles International Airport-less than 90 minutes away and connects you directly to more than 130 destinations worldwide. Whether you envision hosting vibrant poolside soirées, intimate wine tastings, or simply savoring simple evenings in the gardens, this property is designed for a life well lived....
