Custom-designed by renowned Washington, DC architect Travis Price, “Pi House” is a modern, light-filled retreat, maintained and continuously improved since 2017, making it as functional and efficient as it is beautiful. Pi House is situated on two parcels totaling 4.71 acres, above Hardesty Road which is below grade ensuring privacy. With unique engineering and construction techniques Pi House stands out as truly one of a kind. Oriented north–south, Pi House enjoys dappled morning sun, natural cross-breezes and big views of incredible sunsets. It is surrounded by huge oaks, with maples, beech, hickory and dogwood. The 4-season beauty is spectacular. Inside, dramatic 23' cathedral ceilings crown 5 king spires. Windows in every room—including 10 sky windows - flood the home with natural light. At about 3,000 sq. ft. , the floor plan is sized just right with smart details like 7 pocket doors and J-rails for displaying art. The first-floor primary suite is thoughtfully placed at the north end of the house, about 35 feet from the main living area and secondary bedrooms—perfect for privacy. Two sets of oversized sliders draw you out to an incredible 92-foot deck—ideal for outdoor dining, sunsets, and watching wildlife. There’s also space to enjoy bonfires on the back patio. In 2019 the front and back decks were re-stained, and in 2025 the front and back deck posts were upgraded with Trex deck sleeve posts and solid hot-rolled steel rails for durability and a clean, modern look. This home has been upgraded with quality systems: in 2021 the owners installed a Trane 18 SEER dual fuel, variable-speed furnace with heat pump along with a Trane whole-home air filtration system—a major comfort and efficiency boost. That same year they added a Stûv Compact 30H wood stove with heat accumulator and finished the area with porcelain tile, creating a cozy focal point where they enjoy fires October through May. In 2020, premium 6" Gutter Helmet brand gutters were installed - front and back, and in 2021 the well was improved with a new oversized Red Cap well head (pump) and updated indoor equipment. In 2018, 240V service was added for a hot tub and electric dryer, giving future buyers even more flexibility. The kitchen and dining room have also been refreshed: the floating cabinet over the kitchen island was removed (2021) to improve sightlines, and in 2024 a dining room wall was removed to create a more open, modern flow. That same year, the owners installed a new Frigidaire oven, Frigidaire induction cooktop, and Electrolux washer & dryer with pedestals; and in 2025 they added a Jenn-Air “Rise” dishwasher and a kitchen ceiling fan. Pi House has two upper-level lofts - north end and south end – each with a half bath, additional living area, and ample storage. Comfort on the upper levels was enhanced with new Mitsubishi mini-splits with H2i technology in the south loft (2024) and north loft (2025). A new garage door opener (2023), LED garage and outdoor motion lights (2025), and a widened driveway entrance (2025) round out the practical improvements. Of the 4.71 acres, 1.6 acres are wooded/wetlands that attract turtles, owls, foxes, bald eagles, egrets, river otters, tree frogs (lots of frogs!), turkeys and deer. From 2017–2025, over 30 cubic yards of topsoil and perennial plantings were added to create gardens that attract butterflies and hummingbirds and feature azalea, hydrangea, hibiscus, black-eyed Susans, Joe Pye weed, crepe myrtle, rose of Sharon, Hosta, anemones, fern, cassia and more, along with year-round evergreens like holly, Goldust japonica, and spoon wood. Hummingbirds are so abundant that three feeders are in use from April through September.

The Rural Community District RCD is intended to maintain a mix of farms, forests, and residential uses, retain historic and scenic areas, and protect watersheds, fish, and wildlife. These goals are to be achieved in part through the mandatory clustering of subdivisions on parcels 30 acres or greater in size, with a minimum of 60 percent of the subdivision to be permanently preserved as open space. It is the intent to maintain a low residential density within this district while still allowing for some use of Transferable Development Rights TDRs. To avoid drawing traffic onto rural roads commercial uses are limited.
