• Remarks Public: With extensive renovations, since the sellers ownership, "High Orchard," nestled atop beautiful Blue Ridge Summit, is sure to win your heart! This incredible turn of the century, luxury estate, features a grand Georgian Revival high-style home with 8 bedrooms, 3 full and 5 half bathrooms, and an original carriage house on over 5 acres of manicured lawns and mature hardwood trees and did we mention over 5000 Daffodils in the Spring? Spectacular mountain views and amazing skyline are what makes this home so special! High Orchard was originally built in 1895 for wealthy industrialists who summered in the area for the cool mountain breezes. Numerous updates since make High Orchard a coveted four-season estate with spectacular views of the Blue Ridge mountains and an overview of the Gettysburg Gap. A grand front porch overlooks the lawns below along with 100-year old trees, making it just perfect, for year round entertaining. As you step inside the estate, you find a grand manse with modern appointments (an extensive top to bottom renovation completed between 2020-2023) completed to compliment the original charm and character from 1895. A grand two story entryway with an open hardwood staircase, meets you as you walk into the foyer. You will also note the incredible natural light that passes through the home via its beautiful high ceilings, large windows and four-sets of French doors that all lead to the grand front porch. The main floor features a formal living room with an oversized, original fireplace, a formal dining room with original fireplace, a library, and a spectacular four seasons room. The recently renovated open concept kitchen features Brazilian soapstone and quartz countertops, custom cabinetry, three ovens, and a professional cooking range. Of particular note, two original curved glass windows flank each other on the north side of the kitchen. Directly off the kitchen is an additional entrance to the home, with a recently renovated mud room and half bath, featuring custom cabinetry, and board and batten siding. The second level offers a primary suite, custom home office, laundry room, and four additional bedrooms. The primary suite has an original fireplace, sitting area, multiple closets, and a custom European style open concept bathroom with marble tile, open shower, and an original (1906) beautifully restored clawfoot tub. The stunning summer porch off of the primary suite has exceptional mountain views and is the perfect place to unwind after a long day. The third floor features three additional bedrooms, an exercise room, and a large storage room. Other features include original carriage house with what was once, a chauffeur living space above. This exquisite estate is close to all the major cities, golf and skiing resorts, and is apart of the Monterey Historic District that was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976. Your showing, for this once in a lifetime living opportunity awaits you! Possible for a VA buyer to assume current mortgage at a very low rate. Ask for details.
