Description

Rare opportunity to own Rosehurst, an extraordinary hilltop estate offering nearly 10,000 square feet of elegant living space on 62 breathtaking acres in Virginia’s prestigious Hunt Country.Note: The property is not under conservation easement. According to the Fauquier County Planning Department, the property retains two by-right family subdivision rights, and the County has confirmed a straightforward path for utilizing an existing administrative cut for a potential non-family subdivision.Privately positioned atop its own scenic hilltop, Rosehurst commands sweeping panoramic countryside views from nearly every room, balcony, and outdoor living space. Inspired by timeless Georgian architecture and thoughtfully designed for modern luxury living, the residence blends classic elegance with comfort and functionality.A gated entrance framed by stately brick columns and ornamental urns opens to a peaceful half-mile private drive leading to the circular motor court and grand columned portico. Inside, lacquered mahogany double doors reveal a dramatic foyer anchored by an impressive bifurcated staircase and soaring 12-foot ceilings throughout the home, rising to 13 feet in the expanded first-floor wing.The residence features seven bedrooms, five full baths, one half bath, and six wood-burning fireplaces, all plumbed for gas. Designed for both refined entertaining and everyday living, the gourmet kitchen is exceptionally appointed with a six-burner gas range, double wall ovens, warming drawer, wine chillers, prep sink, center island, and new Sub-Zero refrigerator and freezer.The expanded wing offers remarkable flexibility and is currently configured as a sophisticated light-filled entertaining space with a dramatic two-story office and separate gym. It could also serve beautifully as a main-level in-law suite complete with a marble bath and oversized shower already in place.Recent improvements include a widened driveway entrance, newly re-graveled private drive, fresh interior paint throughout the home, and freshly painted/stained decks.Despite its extraordinary privacy and tranquil setting, Rosehurst is conveniently located just minutes from Warrenton, The Plains, Marshall, and Interstate 66, offering convenient access to shopping, dining, and commuter routes.Timeless architecture. Unmatched privacy. Modern country living at its finest.
