Blue
Ridge Farm
This magnificent brick Georgian c.1850 situated
on 124 open acres at the base of the renowned Blue Ridge Mountains
in the Greenwood estate area is an exceptional offering in today's
market. The main residence was expanded and refined in the 1920s
by distinguished Georgian architect William Lawrence Bottomley.
The 12,000+ sq/ft residence, extensively renovated by its current
owners, offers a floor plan for both formal and informal living
and abounds with period appointments such as 10 1/2 ft ceilings,
detailed moldings, marble mantels and beautiful hardwood floors.
The imposing home is surrounded by meticulously conceived gardens
and dramatic vistas created by noted landscaped architect Charles
F. Gillette and is reminiscent of an English park including majestic
formal boxwood gardens, sweeping lawns, spectacular shade trees,
brick serpentine and stone walls. Well positioned on the estate
is a renovated guesthouse, a pool and a full complement of farm
dependencies.
