MAIN-LEVEL LIVING ON 10 ACRES WITH PRIVATE GUEST SUITE. Set on nearly 10 ACRES in the Orange County countryside, this SOLID BRICK HOME offers PRIVACY, SPACE, AND A PRACTICAL LAYOUT FOR EVERYDAY LIVING. A PAVED DRIVE leads to a quiet setting surrounded by OPEN MEADOW, GARDENS, AND WOODS—secluded without feeling remote. The MAIN LEVEL is designed for how people actually live. An OPEN GREAT ROOM with HARDWOOD FLOORS, CATHEDRAL CEILING, and a STONE FIREPLACE connects naturally to the kitchen, dining area, and WIDE REAR DECK overlooking the land. Large windows bring in NATURAL LIGHT and frame long views. The PRIMARY BEDROOM SUITE IS ON THE MAIN LEVEL, along with a second bedroom and an additional room well suited for a HOME OFFICE, STUDY, OR GUEST SPACE. Upstairs, TWO ADDITIONAL BEDROOMS AND A FULL BATH are connected by a LOFT-STYLE BRIDGE overlooking the great room, offering separation while maintaining a sense of openness. The LOWER LEVEL ADDS FLEXIBILITY. With its own KITCHEN, LIVING AREA, BEDROOM, FULL BATH, AND ADDITIONAL FINISHED ROOMS, it works well as PRIVATE GUEST QUARTERS, EXTENDED-FAMILY SPACE, or a DEDICATED WORK-FROM-HOME SUITE. A WALK-OUT ENTRANCE opens to a COVERED PATIO and the surrounding landscape. Outside, the LAND IS PART OF THE LIFESTYLE. Open areas and wooded sections provide room to GARDEN, WALK, OR ENJOY THE QUIET. A BARN AND ADDITIONAL OUTBUILDINGS offer practical storage and can be ADAPTED TO A VARIETY OF OTHER USES. FAST INTERNET IS AVAILABLE, making remote work and modern connectivity easy. The ALL-BRICK CONSTRUCTION and METAL ROOF contribute to a LOW-MAINTENANCE ownership experience. Wildlife is common, and the setting feels distinctly rural, yet SHOPPING, DINING, AND MEDICAL CARE are only a short drive away. The home features a DUAL HEATING SYSTEM. A HEAT PUMP forced-air system serves the main and upper floors for heating and CENTRAL AIR, while the lower level is warmed by a RADIANT IN-FLOOR SYSTEM powered by a Taylor OUTDOOR WOOD-FIRED BOILER. The systems can operate TOGETHER OR INDEPENDENTLY. Owners may rely entirely on the heat pump, or use the wood system as an optional way to improve efficiency and reduce winter heating costs. This is a COMFORTABLE, WELL-BUILT HOME with the kind of SPACE AND FLEXIBILITY THAT ADAPTS EASILY TO DIFFERENT STAGES OF LIFE—PRIVATE WHEN YOU WANT IT, FUNCTIONAL WHEN YOU NEED IT, AND READY TO BE LIVED IN.

Great property and has a beautiful drive through farms to get there. Large rooms and an awesome basement apartment really give this house a lot of flexibility.

In the idyllic, pastoral countryside of Virginia in Madison County, a master carpenter built this home for himself and his family. Every detail shows his pride in his craftsmanship. The long winding driveway takes you through the trees and meadows to this extraordinary home. Through the covered porch you enter the open great room with the gleaming hardwood floors and the stone fireplace. The open floor plan embraces the living room under a cathedral ceiling, as well as the dining room and the kitchen with breakfast bar. Several glass French doors let the light shine in and open to the spacious deck overlooking the green meadows and wooded rolling hill landscape. The primary bedroom and bathroom are also on this level as well as a craft room and an office with separate porch entrance. The open staircase leads upstairs to the bridge overlooking the great room and connects the upstairs bedrooms and bathroom. The lower level of the home is a separate ground level apartment with connecting stairs and access to the side driveway. It boasts an open floor plan living room, dining room, and kitchen with breakfast bar and opens to the covered patio. Lots of daylight through doors and windows naturally illuminate every room. The nearly 10-acre lot offers excellent privacy and also includes a large traditional barn and two more outbuildings. This is a really exceptional property, built and maintained with love and attention to every detail. Come and see it now!
