Watery Mountain Farm
The Plains, Fauquier County, Virginia
Watery Mountain Farm with 107.4 Acres, features a stunning Farmhouse built in 2004 with a wide, wrap-around porch and spectacular views. Located at the end of Enon Church Road, this property enjoys tremendous privacy and creates a private retreat. It is protected by an Open Space Easement with the Virginia Outdoors Foundation and is also in the Marshall/Warrenton Agricultural and Forestal District. This is a wonderful property for one who enjoys the outdoors; within its boundaries one can hike, ride, hunt, swim or spend a quiet evening around the fire pit.
Throughout the home one is impressed with the many features and finishes: an elevator provides access to all 3 levels; a back staircase links the main to the lower level; French doors throughout the main level seamlessly tie indoor living to the wide, covered porch and outdoor living; and a whole house generator is there, “just in case”.
The front porch sets the stage. From the front porch one enters the light filled foyer, where a handsome staircase leads to the second level. To the right of the foyer is a cozy den with a half bath, and to the left is the main living area of the home.
Box bay windows, to the front of the spacious gathering room, let in wonderful light. At the center of the room is a built-in entertainment center and fireplace. This room is completely open to the gourmet kitchen; designed and placed perfectly for someone who enjoys entertaining as much as cooking. The large island houses the 6-burner gas cooktop and provides seating for four. The kitchen is also completely open to the dining room, with its 2 walls of windows. French doors from both the kitchen and dining room lead out to the terrace, outdoor kitchen, and wrap-around porch; this is where one enjoys the most dramatic views, gorgeous sunsets, and the porch swing.
From the kitchen, the back hall features a large pantry, the elevator, a temperature-controlled wine room, ½ bath, laundry/mud room and stairs to the lower level. The lower level features a large exercise room/office, full bath, mechanical room, mudroom and access to the elevator and the 2-car garage.
Returning to the foyer, the staircase has 2 landings, from the first landing a few additional steps lead to 2 bedrooms. The staircase then continues to a third ensuite bedroom with fireplace and then the primary bedroom suite. One first enters the office/library with built-in bookshelves; access to the laundry room is also from this room. Beyond the library, a hallway with elevator access opens into the bedroom. The bedroom features a vaulted ceiling, a fireplace, access to a private balcony, a large walk-in closet and a spacious bath with soaking tub and walk-in shower.
From grand entertaining areas to cozy getaway spaces, this home was beautifully designed for comfortable and gracious living.
Close to the main home, the guest house features 2 separate levels. The upper level is a complete 1 bedroom/1 bath home with a front porch and outdoor kitchen. The lower level serves as the pool house and features a sitting room/bunk room, ½ bath, a separate shower and 2 changing rooms. Beyond the guest house is the swimming pool. Behind the guest house is a stone terrace which is sold “as is”.
Between the home and guest house is a stone terrace with firepit, large enough for several chairs and positioned for maximum views. The views from this property are spectacular with layers of mountains in the distance.
Sited at the end of Enon Church Road, the farm is sited on the Watery Mountains with elevations ranging from 550’ to 730,’ a pond, and a tributary of Horner Run. As the drive ascends to the home, the pond is on the left and then a fenced paddock. On the right one can follow the circular drive to the front of the home or continue to the garage, guest/pool house, or the barn. The barn was built in the 1970’s, has not been used by this owner, and is sold “as is”.
