8833 N WALES RD Warrenton, VA 20186

A one of a kind country manor home with a Warrenton, Virginia best address on 54 private acres. This is truly a fairytale property. Drive through a gated estate entrance along a nearly half-mile carriageway. It looks and feels like a storybook enchanted forest until you come out of the other side which reveals open bucolic views. It is a wow factor moment. The residence is the center of attention surrounded by custom fencing to protect a garden or enclose children and pets. Ernest Hemingway himself would do a double take because the home is greatly inspired by his Key West, Florida residence. The coastal touches are not found here. This is hunt country all the way. The front doors, many interior doors and hardware were salvaged from estates across America which give the home, built in 2012 an old world aesthetic. The wow factor continues with 12 foot ceilings, a 30 foot living room, designer wall treatments and draperies. The kitchen will transport you to a European holiday with a vintage floor to ceiling cupboard and luxury La Cornue range. The natural light is dazzling with views from every window. Wait until you experience your first sunrise and sunset. The primary bedroom on the second floor is generously sized with a walk-in closet, marble bathroom and large private balcony. The 1,700 square foot lower level with generous ceiling height allows for finished livable space. The residence also includes a whole house generator. The grounds feature Great Run waterway and border the historic 1,500 acre North Wales Farm which was once the home of Walter Chrysler. This is an idyllic countryside home yet only minutes from the conveniences of shopping and restaurants in historic Old Town Warrenton. Dulles International Airport and Tysons Corner are approximately 40 minutes away. Very easy to show. Email or call the listing agent.
