Bull Run Mountain Estates offers resort-style living and seclusion
It was over 70 years ago that folks first started escaping to the Bull Run Mountains, constructing vacation and weekend homes hidden among the trees. Retirees and blue-collar families began joining the mix as permanent residents in the 1980s and, in the 2000s, fed up with urban turmoil and traffic, professionals turned westward, traded in their sensible sedans for four-by-fours and began building contemporary family homes. They were all seeking privacy, natural beauty and outdoor living—and they found it at Bull Run Mountain Estates. "Bull Run Mountain Estates gives people an affordable resort lifestyle," says Natalie McArtor, an Associate Broker with Samson Properties in Prince William County. "It's secluded, but it's right off Route 15, which means amenities like shopping, golfing and wineries and breweries are close."
Eclectic mix of mountain estates, cabins and other housing styles
With some lots nearly 1,300 feet above sea level, Bull Run Mountain Estate offers an eagle-eye view of the surrounding countryside through blankets of lush foliage. Narrow, winding roads twist up the mountainside, lined with an eclectic array of homes as if to announce that cookie-cutter blueprints have no place here. With a range of ages, sizes and lot characteristics, homes start at $400,000 and go up to $1 million and more. At the base of the mountain, you can get a 1970s split-level with 1,600 square feet, three bedrooms and a flat half-acre lot for $550,000, or move up the mountain for an 1980s wooden A-frame, with three bedrooms, 1,600 square feet and over an acre of land priced in the low-$400,000s. A modern Colonial built into the mountainside with four bedrooms, 2,400 square feet and sunset views to die for comes in around $650,000.
The community rallies together during severe winter weather
Some might say the downside of this idyllic mountainside retreat would be the steep roads, cell service sometimes going out, and trees falling when the weather hits. However, that's what keeps this community close. Whether loaning a backup generator or clearing trees, people help people here, and that's something money can't buy. An active civic association also keeps life running smoothly, managing everything from road concerns to a community center that houses meetings and events.
Fishing and hiking at Silver Lake Regional Park, plus nearby golfing
Silver Lake Regional Park is a quick trip down Route 601, with a 23-acre lake stocked with bluegill and largemouth bass. The park also offers kayaking and 4 miles of hiking and equestrian trails. Golfers can visit the nearby Bull Run Golf Club, which has a public 18-hole course, or wind their way down to the private Evergreen Country Club, which has their own 18-hole golf course alongside an elegant clubhouse that provides swimming, tennis, gourmet dining and social activities for the whole family.
Nearby wineries and more shopping in neighboring towns
The Winery at La Grange, a 20-acre working vineyard just south of the community, offers tastings in its cozy 18th-century manor house or on the patio overlooking the grounds. For locally crafted brews, locals can head north on Route 15 to Quattro Goombas Brewery and enjoy pints, pizzas and plenty of live music. There aren't any grocery stores or retailers on the mountain, though Dominion Valley is only about 10 minutes away on Route 15, where Giant offers groceries and gas. In Haymarket, there's a Walmart Superstore, an Aldi, a Kohl's, and a historic downtown packed with quaint eateries and boutiques. Just east of Haymarket, the Virginia Gateway Shopping Center offers a Giant, a Target, a Home Depot and a Cabela's that stocks equipment for outdoor activities all year long. Virginia Gateway also offers upscale retailers, a movie theater and popular restaurants like Firebird's, Nando's and Uncle Julio's.
