A truly one-of-a-kind replica of a c. 1750 Williamsburg Colonial, this remarkable estate combines the timeless elegance of historic design with the comfort of modern systems and amenities. With over 6,320 finished square feet with 7 fireplaces, step inside the slate-floor foyer and immediately be drawn to the panoramic mountain views framed by the expansive glass windows of the family room. This stunning space features vaulted, beamed ceilings clad in shiplap, hardwood flooring, and remote-controlled window shades, creating a perfect blend of charm and sophistication. The newly renovated gourmet kitchen is a chef’s dream—complete with a gas fireplace, cooktop, stainless-steel appliances, coffee and beverage bar with drink cooler, custom cabinetry, and both a walk-in and built-in pantry. Take the kitchen staircase upstairs and you’ll find a versatile bedroom/studio/office with a half bath. The main level offers multiple inviting gathering areas, including a formal dining room, living room, family room, and carriage house each highlighted by its own brick fireplace. A full bath and library/game room add to the functionality and flow of the home. Accents of unique brick floors compliment the kitchen, orangery, and floor between home and carriage house. A grand double staircase leads to the primary suite, complete with its own brick fireplace, luxurious ensuite bath with jetted spa tub and shower, and a walk-in closet. The upper level also includes one additional bedroom, with its own character—with a brick fireplace and full bath, plus a laundry room for convenience. The carriage house features a fourth bedroom and full bath, ideal for guests or extended family. Downstairs, the rustic-style basement offers a recreation area, lounging space, workshop/storage room with cabinetry, laundry sink, and second washer/dryer hookup, with walk-out access to the grounds. Nestled on almost 22 picturesque and usable acres, the property enjoys sweeping mountains and pastoral views. Continue the existing farm lease or create your own equestrian facility, bed & breakfast, or vineyard—the possibilities are endless. A custom-built deer stand is already in place for outdoor enthusiasts. An Accessory Dwelling Unit has been approved and designed by Dorman Builders for a tenant house/in-law home. Meticulously maintained and rich with detail, Brown Dog Farm is more than a home, it’s an experience you must see to believe. Come see it for yourself!
