Ridgeview is an enchanting 16 acre residence available for the first time in nearly 25 years. It represents the best of refined horse and wine country living with estate level privacy and an idyllic location only minutes from the conveniences of Warrenton, The Plains and Marshall. This five bedroom Tudor style home with a one bedroom guest house across more than 8,600 square feet, is enriched with chateau overtures to transport you to a European retreat. A front facade turret features the timeless elegance of authentic Virginia stone sourced directly from the property, which stands as a testament to its strength and durability. Ridgeview instantly captivates from the moment you enter the drive with its stunning mountain views, flanked by beautifully maintained rolling pastures. Your first few steps inside are equally remarkable with a double height foyer featuring a floating staircase to a large mezzanine lounge and one of two bedroom wings. The living room boasts soaring ceilings highlighted by a copper wood-burning fireplace that stretches to the very top of the room. Floor-to-ceiling windows frame scenic views of the rear grounds, pool deck and the Blue Ridge Mountains. A wet bar showcasing a copper sink services both the living room and intimate formal dining room with a wood burning stone fireplace. The kitchen great room seamlessly blends functionality and style. Custom cabinetry, granite and butcher block countertops, exposed natural wood beams on 12 foot ceilings, kitchen dining and a casual secondary living room create a serene atmosphere for family gatherings and entertaining guests. Multiple glass doors allow for panoramic views and an easy transition to a large flagstone courtyard, elevated wood deck and heated swimming pool with waterfall. An oversized family room with equally high ceilings clad in rich wood, lends a rustic charm with added architectural interest. A full height wood burning stone fireplace and built-in wet bar elevate the ambiance. The impressive main level also features a large primary bedroom suite with a television seating area, wood burning fireplace, private terrace and spa bathroom. The shower is highlighted by a stone wall that merges with the exterior turret, enhancing the organic feel and direct connection to nature. The main level also features a second bedroom wing, butlers pantry with additional refrigeration and separate laundry-mud room which connects to one of a pair of two car garages. The lower level includes a media room, 2,500 bottle temperature controlled wine room and oversized cedar closet. A one bedroom guest house with vaulted ceilings is connected to the main residence by a short walkway along the deck. Ridgeview uniquely features equestrian facilities that rival some of the most prestigious estates in Virginia. It has an Olympic sized outdoor riding ring and a similarly sized private indoor arena that connect to a handsome nine stall barn that generates significant income. The facilities can be versatile spaces for non-equestrians suitable for a variety of activities. Another distinction of this home is direct access to more 30 miles of private riding and walking trails offering unparalleled options to explore the breathtaking outdoors. A whole house generator provides the benefit of uninterrupted power for the main residence, guest house and barn during outages, allowing you to maintain comfort and safety across the entire property. Ridgeview offers the beauty and privacy of Virginia’s bucolic countryside with the ease of being just 10 minutes from Interstate 66 and less than one hour to the Washington metropolitan area and Dulles International Airport. Very easy to show. No real estate sign on property. Please email or text Will Thomas.
