Perched atop Lost Mountain with sweeping views across the Virginia Piedmont, Greencrest is a private 25-acre retreat where European-inspired simplicity meets the romance of Virginia Hunt and Wine Country. Secluded but never isolated, it is a property that makes leaving Washington on Friday afternoon—and perhaps not going back on Sunday—very tempting.A quiet private road winds upward through mature woodland before arriving at the three-level residence, seemingly tucked above the world below. Yet I-66 is just minutes away and Washington, D.C., approximately 50 miles from the property. It is a rare juxtaposition: privacy without remoteness, country life without compromise.Designed as beautifully for a weekend escape as it is for a full-time homestead, Greencrest offers five bedrooms and four-and-one-half baths with interiors that feel relaxed, sophisticated and wonderfully livable. Clean lines are softened by warm, inviting spaces, while windows throughout the home continually draw the eye back outside.At the heart of the house, the expansive Great Room is anchored by a handsome stone fireplace—a natural gathering place after a day spent outdoors. The sleek, redesigned kitchen is both efficient and luxurious, with the landscape providing perhaps its best feature: a view that turns even morning coffee into an occasion. Multiple sitting areas, a charming breakfast nook and a second fireplace create an easy flow between gathering and retreating, entertaining and simply being home.Three upper-level bedrooms enjoy ensuite baths, while additional bedrooms on the lower level create a comfortable sense of separation for family and guests.But at Greencrest, the house is only the beginning.Expansive front and rear decks and a screened porch blur the boundaries between indoors and out, each offering another place from which to experience the mountain. In summer, life gravitates toward the private pool and its dramatic diving stone. As temperatures fall, the six-person hot tub becomes the place to watch the sun disappear, the stars emerge and the valley settle into darkness below.The 25 acres are a thoughtful balance of open ground, mature woods, and a carefully planted orchard, with fruit trees woven throughout the property. There is room to wander, garden, explore and disappear for a while, with abundant wildlife as frequent company.And then there is the view.It changes by the hour and by the season—morning mist settling into the valley, summer greens stretching toward the horizon, brilliant fall color and winter skies and 360 degree vistas seem to go on forever. At Greencrest, the landscape isn't simply something you look at. It becomes part of the way you live.Beyond the property lies one of Virginia's most treasured landscapes. Middleburg and Upperville, celebrated for their equestrian traditions, historic villages and protected countryside, are within easy reach. Vineyards and tasting rooms dot the surrounding hills, while Sky Meadows State Park and the Appalachian Trail offer miles of hiking nearby. Horseback riding, cycling, wineries, farm markets and the Blue Ridge are all part of life here.And for all its away-from-it-all appeal, Greencrest is thoroughly connected. Strong Wi-Fi, a dedicated workspace, smart-home technology and Tesla charging make working—and living—in the country remarkably easy.There is a lovely rhythm to life at Greencrest: pick fruit from your own trees, disappear into the woods for a morning walk, spend a summer afternoon by the pool, gather for dinner on the screened porch and watch the last light fall across the Piedmont.Private without being isolated. Sophisticated without being precious. Close enough to Washington for a spontaneous escape—and special enough that you may find yourself staying.
