The home has a grand open kitchen, living and dining area with copious cabinets and sweeping granite counter tops. Appliances are top-of-the-line including SubZero, Viking, Dacor and Bosch. A large rustic farm table anchors the dining area, which can easily accommodate 20 guests. The great room opens to the rear terrace and gardens, which further expands the entertaining opportunities. A fireplace, built-in wine racks, display cabinets, a large pantry and a butlers pantry contribute to the thoughtful and efficient design.
There is a sumptuous first floor master suite with wide windows to take advantage of the marvelous western and southern views. Large closets, dressing rooms, a private reading room and a luxurious master bathroom are all excellently appointed with tile, granite and rich wood floors.
There are three bedrooms, each with en suite bathrooms, on the upper level. All are spacious, comfortable and have elegant finishes.
The lower level features an immense family/party room with a game room, pool room and media room. Included is a fitness room, the 5th bedroom and a full bathroom. The lower level can be reached by a discrete staircase off the kitchen, the elevator or exterior double walk-out doors. The side doors open up to the grounds with amazing mountain views. This entrance is gently shaded by the lower pergola. The elevator also rides up to the upper level for easy access to storage and a functional craft room.
The home occupies a high knoll at the rear of the property so much of the near view is across the estate. The stately driveway is lined by flowering cherry trees and old stonewalls. It passes a historic old graveyard, the pond and lovely landscaping as it winds its way up to the home. A spacious three-car garage is seamlessly attached to the side of the house.
The pastures are fenced and crossed fenced with four-board fencing and there is a large barn with a conditioned office/workshop space. The current owners use the estate as a small cattle and hay operation but it could easily be converted to equestrian usage. The property also includes a run-in shed.
The estate is located in the prestigious Battle Run Farm, an estate community of 1,400 contiguous acres. There are miles of private roads for hiking, riding and exploring. It is in the Old Dominion Hounds territory and there are numerous equestrian oriented properties nearby.
The property is only minutes from the shops, galleries, theatres and restaurants in Little Washington and Flint Hill. Further afield in Rappahannock County are numerous wineries, two breweries, a distillery, organic farms, gourmet food producers and many delicious dining destinations. The majestic beauty of the Shenandoah National Park with its network of trails and outdoor opportunities is only about 15 miles away. The property is also convenient to Warrenton for other interesting dining and shopping opportunities as well as conventional grocery stores and the typical array of big box stores.
