It’s with great excitement that I introduce our newest listing—a truly remarkable custom estate nestled on over 11 scenic acres just minutes from the historic village of Waterford. As someone who has lived in and loved this special corner of Loudoun County for years, I can tell you that properties of this caliber and setting rarely become available.

A Setting Beyond Compare

What first struck me about this property was its extraordinary hilltop position. The home is thoughtfully situated to command breathtaking panoramic views in every direction—rolling fields, distant mountains, and those endless Virginia skies that change character with every season. As you approach via the private drive, you immediately sense that this is a place designed to celebrate its connection to the landscape.

The wraparound porch and elegant porte cochere (leading to a spacious three-car garage with versatile space above) create a gracious welcome, inviting you to slow down and take in the natural beauty that surrounds this special home.

Timeless Design Meets Modern Luxury

Having worked in interior design for 25 years before becoming a Realtor, I’m particularly drawn to homes that showcase exceptional craftsmanship and thoughtful design. This residence does both magnificently.

The architectural centerpiece—a soaring staircase in the grand foyer—sets the tone for the entire home. What I particularly appreciate is how every room has been carefully positioned to capture natural light and frame views of the surrounding countryside. This creates a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor spaces that is so essential to modern luxury living.

A Kitchen for the Passionate Cook

For those who love to cook and entertain, the gourmet kitchen is nothing short of spectacular. Having helped many clients reimagine their kitchens over the years, I recognize the thoughtful planning that went into this space—from the high-end appliances to the custom cabinetry and sophisticated finishes. It’s both beautiful and supremely functional.

The Solarium: A Room Like No Other

The true jewel of this home is undoubtedly the show-stopping solarium. With its floor-to-ceiling windows framing the gently sloping backyard, this light-filled sanctuary creates a living work of art that changes with the seasons. I can imagine morning coffee here as the sun rises over the distant hills, or evening gatherings as the sky transforms with sunset colors.

A Waterford Treasure

What makes this property truly special is its proximity to the charming village of Waterford—a National Historic Landmark with a rich history dating back to 1733. As a longtime resident and past president of the Waterford Citizens Association, I can attest to the unique character and strong sense of community that make this area so desirable.
