20052 JAMES MONROE HWY, LEESBURG, VA 20175

Welcome home to beautiful ShadowDance Farm, located in the heart of Virginia's wine and hunt country! This picturesque 50-acre property, conveniently located just five miles from downtown Leesburg, is a rare find. The 1860s-era built home has been completely renovated with incredible craftsmanship and thoughtfully updated throughout the years. This unique and open-floor plan provides 5,295 square feet of living space from within. The amenities are numerous such as the Chilean Cherry floors throughout the home, high ceilings in the expansive living room with fireplace/wood stove; private library with built-in book shelves; formal dining room; a breakfast area and a large family room both overlooking the land; an office; a bright, sunny art studio/hobby room; a full bath; a strategically located laundry room; and a mud room providing easy outdoor access to the barns -- all of which flow from the centrally located gourmet kitchen where by design family gatherings and joyous entertainment may be enjoyed. The upper floor provides unique possibilities. At the top of the centrally located staircase are two distinctly separate bedroom areas. On the one side, the expansive owners bedroom suite provides a gorgeous, complete view of the land. There is an adjoining sitting room, a large bathroom with a jacuzzi tub, one walk-in closet separated by three steps up to the second walk-in closet, and access to the upstairs laundry room. From the landing, proceed three steps in the other direction to discover two spacious bedrooms each with its own full bath, ideal for a growing family. Moving outside, from the breakfast room the view of the pool/jacuzzi to the south, the impressive equestrian and dog facilities and the breathtaking views spreading out to the east may be fully appreciated. The indoor/outdoor, Mason Company-built dog kennel building, equipped with heat and water and an ample yard surrounding it, formerly housed the owners? field-performance champion Weimaraner dogs. The equestrian complex, located down the hill from the house, is protected from the elements year-round by Hogback Mountain. The 14-stall capacity Morton Builders, center aisle, open design, with 3 fan-powered cupolas boasts a dust-free, airy environment coveted by horse owners. There are 7 finished stalls installed with Mayo Mats; 4 stalls roughed in for future use; a matted wash stall; a spacious insulated, heated tack room with designer cabinetry; and an insulated feed room with lots of cabinet space and access to the outside for easy delivery. There is a separate hay building strategically located near the horse barn. There is a Morton Builders mechanical building, with ample open area with an adjoining secure, insulated workshop. There are 4 Morton built run-ins and 10 fenced paddocks. No matter what the discipline, any horse enthusiast will love the outdoor, fenced riding arena measuring 125' by 250' (big enough for two regulation dressage arenas) and outdoor lights extending for practically year-round training. Obviously the ride-out is enviable with plenty of room to design your own complete cross- country course. The property is in a Loudoun County Scenic Open Space Use Agreement that was created in August 2018. Seller not responsible for rollback taxes.
