Upon entering the stonewalled entrance of the 101 acres of Stoneledge, the quarter mile driveway passes through a sizeable pasture on the left with stocked pond and to the right an equally large four-board fenced paddock with a two-stall shed row barn. Driving through the pastures you will pass the striking rock formation along the driveway for which Stoneledge was named to finally arrive at the home, nestled in complete privacy. Built in 2005, StoneLedge was designed and built with the architectural elegance and classic proportions of the 18th Century Georgian Manor Homes of Drayton Hall, Gunston Hall and Stratford Hall. In 2022 Stoneledge received a complete update.

MAIN LEVEL

Ascend the impressive limestone front steps and enter into the foyer of the Grand Hall where one immediately is taken with the intricate detail created by the extensive plaster moldings, pilasters, and mantle over the gas fireplace. Additional extraordinary features of the home include: an elevator, providing access to all three levels, tall windows, reclaimed heart pine flooring throughout the upper two levels, and the quarter sawn oak of the lower level, deep crown moldings and trim, 11' ceilings of the main level and 9' ceilings of the upper and lower levels. Despite its grand scale the home feels warm and inviting.

The East side of the home includes the dramatic kitchen and dining room. The kitchen with a door to the loggia, features exposed beams from an 1800's Pennsylvania Inn, custom made cabinetry, a generous island and pantries on each side of the Viking refrigerator/freezer. Other appliances include a Viking 6 burner gas range with convection oven and hood, Viking microwave and Miele dishwasher. The gracious dining room with wood-burning fireplace and exquisite detailed plaster creates a magnificent area to dine and entertain. Also included in the East wing is the butler's pantry, powder room and mud room, which leads to the gardens and pool.

The West side of the home includes the heart pine grand staircase, den, library and powder room. The library is to the front of the home with handsome floor to ceiling ponderosa pine cabinetry, which flank the gas fireplace. To the back, is the inviting Den with cabinetry and wet bar from an 18th century Pennsylvanian inn. The exterior door of the den leads to the loggia. With access from the den, the grand hall and the kitchen, the loggia provides both a beautiful covered outdoor living space as well as adds wonderful entertainment flow for seamless indoor/outdoor living.

UPPER LEVEL

Two superbly designed en-suite bedrooms, each with large windows and private views, are in the West wing. These bedrooms are separated from the owner's suite by a gracious center hall with a glass door to the second level portico to the front and a lovely Palladian window capturing the views to the back. From this hall are large closets, a spacious laundry room and stairs to the floored attic containing the heat pump for the upper floor. Beyond the center hall one then enters the sanctuary of the owner's suite, which includes the bedchamber, luxurious marble bath with separate shower and tub, walk-in closet and private sitting room with built in cabinetry.

LOWER LEVEL

The lower level offers 5+ spacious rooms and full bath. The quarter-sawn white oak flooring of the wide hallway carries through into the stunning entertainment area divided between two spaces by a stacked stone fireplace with rough-in plumbing for a proposed bar. Completing the lower level is the exercise room, office, game room, and mechanical room which offers 2 highly efficient heat pumps and on demand hot water heater.

This home is wired and surge protected for internet, sound and security and has access to 2 automatic 24 KW Generators. A commercial grade network has been hardwired throughout the home with Starlink providing internet service; however, it has additional capability for a different or second provider.

POOL

In 2019, the acclaimed landscape architect Richard Arentz designed the dramatic heated swimming pool, pavilion and cabana including an outdoor kitchen and dining area and surrounding landscaping. Sited perfectly between the main home and guest home, the setting enjoys views of the gardens and woodlands.

GUEST COTTAGE

The one-bedroom guest cottage is sited upon the rock formation providing incredible views overlooking the pastures, woods and the pond. There is a full kitchen, a fireplace in the living room, washer/dryer and a screened-in porch with its own fireplace as well. Outside the the cottage sits a firepit set adjacent to the rock formation.

StoneLedge is protected by a Virginia Outdoors Foundation Easement. The pastures and forest present a park-like setting with trails throughout the property. The 2-stall shed row barn is in excellent condition and provides storage and run-in access at the back. Automatic waterers are in the field and paddock and all fence boards are in good condition and recently painted.

Stoneledge is only 6 miles west of Warrenton with easy access to Springs Road and Hwy 211; 10 minutes to 2 golf courses (Fauquier Country Club and South Wales golf course); 20 minutes to the Inn at Little Washington; 20 minutes to Great Meadow; 45 minutes to Dulles Airport; and convenient to Washington, D.C. and Reagan National Airport.
