About This Home

As of August 2025

A masterfully crafted home nestled in the Blue Ridge Mountains designed and furnished by award winning architect Hugh Newell Jacobsen. Commanding vistas of the Blue Ridge and Vineyards are highlighted by the clean, stark design. Bright and meticulous interior features vaulted ceilings, large skylights and windows with electric blinds, and glass doors that saturate the home with natural light and incorporate the views as art. The upper level highlights the bright galley kitchen, spacious dining room, living room with travertine fireplace overlooking the outdoor patio, concealed storage and beverage bar. Mid level hosts the primary suite, guest room, and live study/library. Lower level unveils the studio, complete bath, indoor temp controlled lap pool with large windows opening to the rear patio and outdoor kitchen for continuity from inside to outside. A true entertainment paradise. Adjacent to top rated Veritas Winery. Less than 30 minutes from The University of Virginia. The Architect, Hugh Newell Jacobsen, is noted for designing Jacqueline Kennedy's home in Martha's Vineyard, U.S. Embassy in Paris, two museums for the Smithsonian, the Renwick Gallery, Arts & Industries building and addition to the U.S. Capitol, and much more.
