LOCUST GROVE
Nestled in the heart of Virginia’s renowned “Hunt Country,” Locust Grove encompasses over 250 acres of magnificent woodlands, lush pastures and rolling countryside. A long winding drive, bordered by groves of flowering trees, stone walls, and split-rail fencing, leads to this historic stone residence in a secluded and storybook setting.
LOCATION: Ideally located on the east side of the Blue Ridge Mountains, this spectacular property is within easy access of Washington, D.C. and approximately 45 minutes to Washington-Dulles International Airport. It is surrounded by almost 1,000 acres of perpetually protected land.
RESIDENCE: Superbly sited on a knoll overlooking the Crooked Run Valley, this charming historic home presides over splendid perennial gardens, a spring-fed pond and a clear mountain stream. The views from the porches and deck are breathtaking.
This exquisite two-story stone residence has been meticulously restored with impeccable taste and superior craftsmanship. It is constructed with native Virginia fieldstone and a standing seam metal roof.
The well-proportioned rooms feature high ceilings, gleaming wood floors and three re-lined fireplaces. The formal Living Room and Dining Room are beautifully appointed and are ideal for gracious entertaining. The modern Kitchen opens to a sun-filled Breakfast Room which accesses both the rear deck and covered porch and enjoys fabulous views of the manicured grounds.
The cozy Family Room has a stone fireplace with raised hearth, deep set windows and custom bookshelves. A charming Study, a full bath and a spacious Mud/Laundry Room complete this level. The second level consists of two dormered Bedrooms and another full bath with clawfoot tub. The newer attached two-car garage as an inside kennel and overhead is a one bedroom Apartment with separate entrance.
PROPERTY: Abundant wildlife, including wild turkey, deer and fox, thrive on this lovely estate. A quaint log cottage with stone fireplace and charming covered porch serve as wonderful guest quarters. Another perfectly restored log cabin boats vaulted ceilings and built-in bookcases and desks, ideal as an office or studio. The four-stall center aisle stable is constructed of board and batten siding and features a heated tack room, wash stall, huge hay loft and attached storage area for tractors and equipment.
Marvelous trails meander past the historic graveyard, up the mountain to cleared meadows with incredible views, ideal for an additional home site.
