An Invitation to Explore this Dream Retreat

A gardener's dream, step into our idealic 4,500 sq ft fenced organic French country garden, complete with a 200 sq ft Belgian Victorian glass greenhouse already plumbed and electrified and  a charming stone-lined garden lily pond at it's center. Experience the beauty and tranquility from a garden bench while watching the array of vegetables and flowers grow in abundance and nesting bluebirds and yellow finches flying about. The well provides an extraordinary 40 gallons a minute, providing for all your watering needs! Surrounded by farmland in forestry conservation on three sides, the property boasts three year round spring-fed streams,  abundant wildlife, and native plantings. Naturalists who have visited have said it has areas that are some of the most pristine biodiverse native plant life they have seen in the county which we have continued to foster. Imagine being nourished by eating from your own garden and small apple and pear orchard and fig trees or taking a quiet stroll on your own 21 park like acres. We have also partnered with the James River Assoc. who has planted 1000 native trees and bushes along 4 riparian buffers. Not only that, enjoy the professionally maintained bee yard by master bee keeper Ryan Williamson of Sourwood Farm, providing for pollinators galore and receive a gallon of your own delectable honey each year!

Experience the comfort of ecologically conscious modern living and a blend of old world touches which bring warmth and a true sense of home. With red oak flooring throughout finished in an incredibly durable titanium and lovely Mediterranean porcelain tiles in every bathroom,  you feel a sense of warmth, character, and timelessness. The welcoming open foyer with high vaulted ceiling and window above, provides an elegant entrance as you pass through the 8 foot glass front door. To your left is a grand archway into the formal dining room. Ahead walk into the cozy living room, with an elegant wood burning granite framed fire place as centerpiece  (already piped to convert to gas log if desired). Beyond the living room look out through glass French doors that open onto the commodious covered sitting porch that then leads to the expansive slate terrace with stone wall surround and stone steps that lead out to the grounds. The light filled master bedroom suite has its own wing, featuring a vaulted ceiling, a spacious master bath which includes marble countertop on double vanity, a spacious walk-in tiled shower, large garden tub, and Spanish tile flooring. This leads into a heavenly sunlit spa room replete with a 6 person hot tub, massive windows on three sides overlooking the pastoral countryside and lovely French doors open to the expansive slate terrace. A large walk-in closet with built-in shelving completes this serene retreat. The laundry room with cabinets, Kohler utility sink, and broom closet, is conveniently located just off the master closet. The expansive bonus room makes for a wonderful yoga studio, gym, playroom, or office. Enjoy winter mountain views and year-long pastoral views from many rooms.

This estate represents the pinnacle of residential engineering, seamlessly pairing commercial-grade durability with advanced climate systems to create a future-proof lifestyle with a drastically lowered carbon footprint.

• Logix® ICF Foundation & Conditioned Crawl Space: Built using industry-leading Logix Insulated Concrete Forms, featuring a solid concrete core sandwiched between thick layers of high-density insulation. This industrial-grade shield effortlessly resists extreme weather, blocks external noise for a pin-drop quiet interior, and features a fully sealed, climate-controlled crawl space ensuring warm floors and zero dampness.
• Weatherseal Spray Foam & Cellulose Hybrid Insulation: Engineered with a premium "flash-and-fill" hybrid system by Central Virginia's trusted Weatherseal Insulation Company. A specialized layer of high-performance spray foam completely seals all cracks, joints, and air gaps, while a secondary dense-pack cellulose fill delivers unmatched R-value and superior thermal density. This high-efficiency combination completely eliminates drafts, maximizes indoor air quality, and optimizes energy retention.
• GeoCool / Miami Geothermal HVAC: Equipped with a highly advanced, variable-speed DC inverter system from GeoCool Geothermal / Miami Heat Pumps. By harnessing stable earth temperatures via a water-source system, it delivers up to 70% utility savings. Heavy-duty cupronickel heat exchangers resist corrosion, ensuring this system lasts decades longer than traditional outdoor units.
• Virtually Free Hot Water (Desuperheater): Features an integrated geothermal desuperheater that captures excess, rejected heat from the climate control cycle. It seamlessly diverts this energy to your water heater, providing virtually free domestic hot water whenever the system runs—summer or winter.
• Future-Proof Solar Architecture: The expansive rooflines of both the primary estate and the carriage house are perfectly angled and oriented due south for peak solar absorption. This architecture pairs beautifully with the insulated concrete envelope, making a net-zero or completely off-grid solar footprint incredibly simple to achieve without disrupting the sleek modern farmhouse aesthetic.
