This exceptional country manor in Warrenton, Virginia, offers a truly enchanting retreat on nearly 55 private acres. It unfolds like a storybook, starting with a gated entrance that leads you down a nearly half-mile carriageway. As you drive through, it feels as though you are meandering through a magical forest, only to emerge into a striking open vista. The residence commands attention from the moment you arrive, leaving a special first impression that captivates the heart. This heritage-inspired 3-bedroom home, featuring a versatile bonus room that can serve as a fourth bedroom, forges a deep connection to its surroundings with a sophisticated design that seamlessly blends the essence of hunt country. Every detail tells a story, from the grand front doors to the elements inside, including architectural beams, trim, hardware, and lighting salvaged from historic estates across America, lending extraordinary old-world charm to this 2012-built masterpiece. Most furnishings convey, allowing the space to showcase its soaring 12-foot ceilings and oversized 30-foot living room, enhanced by thoughtfully curated designer wall treatments that add depth and elegance. The kitchen is a delightful escape, reminiscent of a European holiday, featuring a vintage floor-to-ceiling cupboard and a luxury La Cornue range. Natural light floods every corner, with private views from every window that ensure you'll never tire of the Virginia countryside—particularly during your first sunrise or sunset here, an experience that truly captivates. The primary suite features a spacious bedroom with direct access to a large deck with unobstructed views of the pastures. The marble primary bathroom suite is a true sanctuary, complete with a walkout to a charming front balcony, blending luxury and comfort seamlessly. This space is not only filled with natural light but also ensures an exceptional level of privacy. The second floor features up to three more thoughtfully designed bedrooms, complemented by an updated marble bathroom. A versatile loft area offers potential as a sitting room or office, enhanced by double doors that open to the front balcony deck. The estimated 1,700 square foot unfinished lower level, offers potential for additional livable space. Practicality meets elegance with the inclusion of a whole house generator. Surrounded by stunning, sprawling pastures and lush wooded areas, the grounds feature a serene section along the tranquil Great Run waterway, enhancing the beauty at the back of the property. This home also borders the historic 1,300-acre North Wales estate—once the residence of Walter Chrysler and under conservation easement. The recent $20 million sale of this expansive farm further amplifies the 55 acres, making it feel even more substantial. With no easement, there is potential for expansion, inviting endless possibilities to this already breathtaking landscape. The manor is conveniently located less than 10 minutes from the vibrant shopping and dining options of historic Old Town Warrenton, offering the perfect blend of serene living and accessibility. Additionally, you are only 45 minutes from Dulles International Airport. It’s a remarkable fusion of town and country living that is highly sought after today. This property is more than a home; it is a distinctive experience waiting to unfold in a setting that invites stewardship of its exceptional beauty.
