Rappahannock County is renowned for wonderful mountain views and all the Realtors extol the views of their listings.  But MerryMead is in a class by itself with perhaps the most breathtaking views of all.  The truly special views are difficult to describe, but you’ll know it when you see it. The manor is country sophistication with a continental flair.  The steep rooflines, flared at the eves and front portico with arched double doors harken to a European villa.  The field stone and board and batten exterior solidly ground the home in Rappahannock County.  The western side of the house drinks in the panoramic views with a broad stone terrace, large, screened porch and wide pergola.  These delightful architectural elements are enhanced by lovely landscaping, expansive lawns and cool shade trees. The 5,700 sq. ft. home offers spacious one-level living (although there are two guest bedrooms, each with its own bath upstairs), with the primary suite and an ensuite guest room on the main floor. The simple portico opens to tiled entry hall with expansive open spaces beyond.  There is a large casual living room with fireplace, large west facing windows and glass doors that take advantage of the spectacular natural setting.  The high ceilings are enhanced by impressive curved and beveled beams.  Across a bar island and display cabinets is the formal dining room, large enough for full family gatherings. The kitchen is open to the living and dining areas and has ample cherry cabinets, a large center island, granite counters, high quality appliances and a luminous Mexican tile floor.  Over the island is a whimsical light fixture fashioned from parts of an old Parisian elevator.  A convenient and sizeable pantry outfitted for food and cooking equipment is handily tucked behind the kitchen.  The kitchen area includes a pass-through to a cheerful, bright and airy casual dining area, with large windows, tall ceilings and Mexican tile floors.  This eating area opens to the screened porch and side terrace for east al fresco dining. Adjacent to the kitchen is an expansive studio/craft room with running water. The primary suite is at the far end of the house.  It includes a commodious yet cozy bedroom, sitting room, large soaking tub, walk-in shower, dressing room, separate toilet room and the Grand Canyon of closets. Upstairs there are two ensuite guestrooms and there is a large unfinished basement. Across an east facing stone terrace is an oversized three-bay garage, deep enough for ample workshop and storage spaces.  The grounds around the home, are beautifully landscaped with ornamental trees, shrubs and a profusion of flowering perennials. The 21-acre property is open rolling hayfields and board fenced paddocks.  It includes a four-stall horse barn with water and electricity, paved driveway, stone gate entrance and an enormous amount of country charm. MerryMead is located just 5 minutes from the charming villages of Washington, VA, and Sperryville, where you'll enjoy easy access to boutique shops and excellent restaurants. For larger shopping needs, Warrenton, Culpeper and Front Royal are conveniently located just 30 minutes away. This unique property combines the peacefulness and beauty of country living with proximity to vibrant local towns, making it a perfect retreat for those seeking comfort and convenience.
