Set on 5.65 serene acres overlooking the protected 175-acre Foxfield Horse Race Course, this exceptional 5,500 sq ft custom home offers sweeping pastoral and Blue Ridge Mountain views from nearly every room. Designed by esteemed architect Henderson Heyward and masterfully built by craftsman John Anderson, the residence features a copper roof, stone and painted cedar siding, and striking architectural detail throughout. Expanses of glass frame the landscape, while the interior blends grand scale with livable comfort—gracious formal rooms, relaxed everyday spaces, and 9 & 10-foot ceilings throughout. Heart pine floors, four fireplaces, and exquisite trimwork reflect superior craftsmanship. The main-level primary suite offers luxurious one-floor living, with ample guest and family space upstairs. Nestled on a quiet dead-end lane just minutes from town, this property is ideal for entertaining or peaceful retreat. Lush gardens, ornamental trees, and a stunning four-falls water feature complete this rare offering.
