Property Description
“Salterhill” sits atop a knoll in the heart of 145 acres, offering sweeping views of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Designed by Charlottesville architect Jay Dalgliesh and built in 1989 the 7,000+ sq ft home features 6 bedrooms, 5 full baths and 2 half baths. The farm spans two parcels beautifully blending open hay fields and mature hardwood forest. Surrounded by large farms protected by conservation easements, Salterhill remains unencumbered and offers tax credit potential as well as having four additional dwelling unit rights. A winding drive through the woods and over two cattle guards lead to a pea gravel courtyard framed by trees and mature landscaping. A flagstone path welcomes guests to the mahogany double doors. Inside, a curved front hall with Zuber French woodblock wallpaper panels opens to the light-filled living room, where a fireplace and a wall of windows showcase the southern views. The formal dining room, with chair rail and intricate moldings, flows seamlessly from here. The gourmet kitchen, remodeled in 2021, features a tray ceiling, large island and an adjoining family room anchored by a floor to ceiling Albemarle greenstone fireplace. Off the kitchen hallway are a wet bar, gardening nook with antique soapstone sink and a powder room. In the back hallway, which connects to a two-car garage, are large pantry closets. A four-season room with interchangeable screens and glass panels offers year-round enjoyment of the views. The main level also includes a pine paneled library with fireplace and passage to the primary suite. The luxury primary suite has built-ins, large bath with dual vanities, dressing table and separate walk-in closets. There are two more-bedroom suites, laundry room and powder room. Upstairs a guest suite with full bath and walk-in closet is joined by attic storage. The walk-out lower level offers two more bedrooms with a Jack & Jill bath, a spacious recreation room, full kitchen, and private entrance—ideal for guests or an in-law suite. The original landscape plan was done by the renowned landscape architect, the late Meade Palmer. More recent changes and additions have been made by Nicole Seiss of LanDesign. Nature lovers will appreciate the magnolia, sycamore, pin oak, beech, red maple, weeping willow, and horse chestnut trees, as well as two large perennial beds. The Hartley Botanic greenhouse from England and tiered vegetable beds enhance the property's charm. Perfectly located – within the historic Blue Ridge Hunt territory, 10 minutes to the Virginia State Arboretum and Shenandoah River, 20 minutes to Sky Meadows State Park, 50 minutes to Dulles International Airport and 90 minutes to Washington, D.C.
