Ideally located on a picturesque country road in the heart of Virginia’s fabled “Hunt Country,” Dover Hill Farm captures the essence of peace and serenity. Perfectly sited at the peak of a gently rolling hillside, the views of the magnificent Blue Ridge Mountains are simply breathtaking! Encompassing over 25 gorgeous acres, the property is enhanced by flowering Dogwoods, vibrant Redbuds, mature evergreens, and brilliant perennial gardens. A long winding driveway unfolds across lush woodlands, board fenced pastures and sweeping manicured lawns, marking the entrance of this stunning four Bedroom, four Bath traditional home. Custom built with uncompromising quality and craftsmanship, this handsome all brick Colonial offers over 5130 square feet of charming and superbly detailed living space. An inviting and impressive Entrance Hall opens to the formal Living Room, bright, spacious, and ideal for welcoming family and guests. It features an expansive wall of bay windows overlooking the front gardens and exquisite landscape. Gleaming wood floors, crown moldings and chair rail complement the room and are featured throughout the residence. To the right of the Entrance Hall is a beautiful Office/Library, handsomely decorated and filled with multiple windows and glass sliding doors, bathing the room in natural sunlight. A fabulous fireplace lends warmth and charm to this marvelous room, making it perfect for business, study or pure relaxation. The formal Dining Room is elegant, and banquet sized, ideal for gracious entertaining. It is conveniently located adjacent to the Kitchen and Family Room, the hub of all gatherings of family and friends. The generous sized Kitchen shares a shuttered window opening to the Family room. It offers custom cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, custom paneled refrigerator and separate freezer, a center island, and an informal dining area. The flow of the rooms all lead to the incredible rear façade, highlighting the spectacular panoramic vistas and unforgettable sunsets. The Family Room is enormous and features huge sliding glass doors to access the brick terrace and fabulous pool. A massive wood-burning fireplace, custom bookcases to fill with favorite books, and a staircase leading to the second level, all compliment this extraordinary room. Adjacent to the side entry is a Studio Bedroom Suite, boasting a mini kitchen and full bath, ideal for guests or an au pair. The second level features three additional spacious Bedrooms, fully appointed with ample closets and multiple windows that reflect the beauty of the surrounding grounds. The Primary Suite enjoys a luxurious Bath, with a “spa shower” and lovely updated cabinetry and fixtures. The farm is an Equestrian’s dream and was custom designed for safety and efficiency. The eight stall center aisle stable provides easy access to the five wonderful board fenced paddocks, an open grass field riding ring and access to incredible trails for “ride out”. There is a large wash stall, heated tack and laundry room, and a separate feed room. Attached to this building is a hay and storage building and a two-bay garage. Dover Hill is just minutes from the charming historic village of Middleburg. Fine shops, wonderful restaurants, bucolic vineyards, sporting clubs and excellent schools are all nearby.
