ORANGE, VA 22960

Once in a lifetime opportunity awaits you in Orange, Virginia. This exquisite 6 BR/5 BA manor home rests on 2.86 recently landscaped and meticulously maintained acres with walls of hollies, azaleas, boxwoods, and numerous fruit trees. The home sits atop the hill of a fully paved driveway and adjacent to the Zachary Taylor Presidential property that is protected by a conservation easement, eliminating any risk of future development with views of pasture and friendly cows. The entire rear backyard is nearly one acre, fully fenced, and serves as your own private park.   The Jefferson-style brick surrounds the home with upscale Pella windows and built-in blinds. The entire upstairs features hardwood flooring and new French gray porcelain wood tile in all bathrooms. The chef’s kitchen provides an open entertainment space. The Ilve Italian gas range was custom-designed and shipped from Italy in 2024 with two full ovens and analog lifetime mechanical design. Two professional wall ovens were installed with a warming drawer. A vast island with a prep sink and all premium matching sealed granite throughout the home, which provides a seamless flow. A large breakfast room provides for 8. Leaving the kitchen is a huge pantry complete with shelving and organization.  A separate wet bar area features an ice maker and a wine refrigerator, serving as a dedicated beverage center. There are two bedrooms with a shared full bath and a second primary suite with a full bath.  The main primary suite is a private oasis, approximately 1,000 square feet, featuring a stone fireplace with gas logs, perfect for cozy evenings, and two walk-in closets.   The bath is a spa that was completely renovated in 2024 to include a corner claw-foot cast-iron soaking tub and dual granite vanities with premium plumbing hardware.  Custom cast-iron shower base with a granite bench, complete with Grohe fixtures and integrated built-in storage for toiletries, surrounded by white subway tile and pewter grout.   The entryway features solid walnut, UV-protected custom double doors. To one side of the French door entry is an extensive library, complete with cherry-built-in bookshelves and a desk, providing optimal space, along with two oversized chairs that coordinate with the color palette. Adjacent to the formal dining room, which includes a built-in China cabinet and room for a 10-seat dining room table/chairs.  The custom drapes convey with the property. The great room features built-in shelving and a stone fireplace with gas logs, creating a welcoming and cozy space. A separate stairway leads to the floored attic, providing ample additional storage space.  A 3-car garage provides ample parking.  The garage insulated space is well over 1,000 square feet and contains the electrical panel (400 amp and surge protection).  A Generac whole-house propane generator, paired with a smart grid system, provides standby power through a leased 1,000-gallon buried propane tank.  Propane also supports the Rinnai on-demand propane HW that provides continuous hot water. The lower level is a separate living space with a fireplace in the den, a dining area, a kitchen, a Connelly pro pool table, a full custom bath, and 2 nd laundry.  A water softener was added in 2024 to complement public water access, and a completely new line was installed in 2023. A Pentagon gun vault room provides for the security and safekeeping of valuables.  A separate panic/storm exists that is double-bricked/blocked and secured by a steel door and locking deadbolt, including emergency essentials.  Another living room and two large permitted bedrooms complete the lower level with French doors leading out to the side driveway, providing a completely separate living space with ultimate privacy. Security has not been compromised as the residence has dual systems with the most extensive coverage and protection available.  Orange County is one of the best-kept secrets of the Piedmont.
