Description

MAGICAL QUILL SPRING--like an English country house in the midst of an enchanting forest. (Approx. 5 acres are open of the 49.4-ac.) Beneath towering beech & oak trees, lush emerald green lawns and meadows form a 4-leaf clover to surround this solidly built masterpiece. Unpretentious and traditional, the two-story residence was designed for one-level living. Light and energy combine with a great flow. The main-floor rooms extend through French doors to the blue stone terrace for outdoor living. With...MAGICAL QUILL SPRING--like an English country house in the midst of an enchanting forest. (Approx. 5 acres are open of the 49.4-ac.) Beneath towering beech & oak trees, lush emerald green lawns and meadows form a 4-leaf clover to surround this solidly built masterpiece. Unpretentious and traditional, the two-story residence was designed for one-level living. Light and energy combine with a great flow. The main-floor rooms extend through French doors to the blue stone terrace for outdoor living. With its own spring and rock outcropping, a park-like setting borders Moorman's River. Quill Spring's abundant native laurel trails meander through the woods in a very private part of Albemarle. In immaculate condition and well-cared for.
