Building a perfect country retreat starts with having amazing land…a stream, rolling hills and stunning views. Next, you have to add in an outstanding house…low maintenance design to maximize time spent enjoying the property, decks and porches to enjoy the views and a home, packed with features, that is comfortable and inviting. Liberty Springs Farm is the realization of just such a vision. Perfectly sited on the 26 acre +/- parcel the home features a commanding view of the surrounding countryside. Built in 2017, designed to be low maintenance, this four bedroom modern farmhouse is a joy to behold both inside and out.
A gentle driveway winds along the edge of the property framed in by hay fields swaying in the breeze on one side and an immaculately manicured vineyard on the other. The drive crosses a gentle creek as it starts to rise towards a small knoll with stunning views in every direction. Sitting atop the knoll stands the four bedroom modern farmhouse that seamlessly blends the modern with classic.
You enter the home through a wide covered porch perfectly set up to greet guests or stay out of the sun. From the front porch, the home enters a great room that functions as the heart of the house. The field and mountain views, visible through the bank of doors leading out to the rear deck, feel close enough to reach out and touch while the exposed rustic wood beams and hand scraped birch wood flooring add a sense of history and permanence to the home. The cathedral ceiling and banks of windows give the great room a bright and airy feel even on the cloudiest of days.
The great room is currently divided into three sections: a kitchen area, a dining area and a living room. Sitting on the far side of the room, the kitchen is a chef’s dream. A large island made from leathered granite provides plenty of workspace as well as seating space for guests to easily converse with the chef. The island features a Wolf Induction Cooktop with a Zephyr Napoli Stainless Steel Hood. From touchless faucets to the under counter storage and lift for a stand style mixer, this kitchen was thoughtfully designed. The kitchen features two Wolf ovens, a Sub Zero 146 bottle wine fridge and two conveniently located pantries. Plus, with the amazing view from the window above the country style stainless steel sink even cleanup is a joy.
Next to the kitchen sits the dining area. A metal chandelier provides a soft warm glow to the dining area while recessed lighting with different zones allows you to adjust the ambiance to suit the mood. Polk Audio speakers are installed in the ceiling and on the deck to complete the ambiance. A living room area completes the great room providing plenty of space for the owners and guests to spread out.
Behind the living room is a large deck with stunning mountain views. The Peak and many surrounding mountains are in the far view while the fields of hay and the neighbor’s vineyard make up the close view. The owners thoughtfully included a screened in area to increase the utility of the deck.
Next to the great room is an office convenient for anyone who gets to work from home. Make sure you aren’t distracted by the views! The office also creates a little separation from the main living area and the primary suite which is at the end of the house. Like the rest of the house, the primary bedroom offers stunning views. An en-suite bath features a free standing soaking tub and an expansive two person shower complete with two shower heads and two benches. The primary suite is completed with a large walk-in closet.
On the other side of the great room sits a mud-room, a must have for country homes, a laundry room complete with a sorting table and plenty of cabinets as well as a half bath for guests. An entry to the two car garage sits right off the kitchen making unloading groceries a breeze.
Wide stairs lead you down to the lower level which looks out on the fields around the home. At the bottom of the stairs is a large game room perfect for playing any type of tabletop game you can imagine. French doors lead out to a patio outside. Behind the game room sits a home theater room with elevated seating. The home theater boasts a Screen Innovations 100 “ 3 Series screen, a Epson Home Cinema 4000 Projector and Polk Audio 7.1 Surround Sound Speakers.
A hallway leads you from the game room to the three bedrooms on the lower level. The three bedrooms all face towards the mountains and have great views. Currently, one of the bedrooms has been converted to another office and one has been converted to a home gym, but the septic field was installed for a 4 bedroom home so converting them back to their original purpose would be quite easy. The lower level is completed with unfinished space for storage.
The 25.9 acre +/- property is centrally located in the heart of Rappahannock, in an area of large farms and land in conservation easement. An entrance off Richmond Road, a state maintained road, and a new driveway allow you to enjoy the property during all seasons.
Only 17 miles from Warrenton and 65 miles to Washington DC, Liberty Springs Farm allows you to enjoy the best of both the city and country life. The Shenandoah National Park, which can be seen from the property, offers an extravaganza of natural wonders… waterfalls, canyons, trails and hikes. Nearby towns such as Little Washington, Sperryville, and Flint Hill have great restaurants and offer a wide array of art and social activities.
