A front facade turret features the timeless elegance of authentic Virginia stone sourced directly from the property, which stands as a testament to its strength and durability. Ridgeview instantly captivates from the moment you enter the drive with its stunning mountain views, flanked by beautifully maintained rolling pastures. Your first few steps inside are equally remarkable with a double height foyer featuring a floating staircase to a large mezzanine lounge and one of two bedroom wings. The living room boasts soaring ceilings highlighted by a copper wood-burning fireplace that stretches to the very top of the room. Floor-to-ceiling windows frame scenic views of the rear grounds, pool deck and the Blue Ridge Mountains. A wet bar showcasing a copper sink services both the living room and intimate formal dining room with a wood burning stone fireplace. The kitchen great room seamlessly blends functionality and style.

A full height wood burning stone fireplace and built-in wet bar elevate the ambiance. The impressive main level also features a large primary bedroom suite with a television seating area, wood burning fireplace, private terrace and spa bathroom. The shower is highlighted by a stone wall that merges with the exterior turret, enhancing the organic feel and direct connection to nature.
