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.

Private Retreats
Upstairs, the primary suite offers a true sanctuary with its spa-inspired bath, well-appointed dressing room, and private balcony overlooking the mountains and fields that stretch down to Catoctin Creek. Three additional generously sized bedrooms each feature en-suite baths and individual heating and cooling zones—a thoughtful touch that ensures personal comfort for family and guests.
Sustainable Luxury
Having worked with many discerning clients throughout my career, I know that today’s luxury homebuyer values not just beauty but also sustainability and efficiency. The geothermal system in this home reflects the meticulous planning and forward-thinking approach that went into every aspect of its design.

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.
This exceptional estate is offered for the first time for sale—a rare opportunity to own a custom residence that embodies the perfect balance of architectural excellence, modern amenities, and deep connection to its extraordinary natural setting.
I would be delighted to show you this special property. Please contact me for a private viewing.
