Property Description
To the left, rolling hills gracefully lead to a serene private lake, while to the right, vast lawns reveal a beautifully appointed stable and private pastures. Atop the hill, the manor house captures the understated charm of a European country estate, thoughtfully designed to harmonize with its extraordinary natural surroundings. This remarkable residence features timber frame beams, reclaimed chestnut oak floors, stucco, and stone sourced from Wyoming and Arizona, resulting in a home that is both elegant and welcoming.
The entry hall gracefully flows into a two-story great room with stunning vistas overlooking the pool and manicured gardens. An expansive kitchen and breakfast area, warmed by one of five cozy stone fireplaces found throughout the residence, create a comfortable space for family and guests. The main dining room easily accommodates large gatherings and is connected to a spacious butler's pantry. At the opposite end of the house, a private study boasts its own fireplace and offers breathtaking views of the pool and gardens.
The west wing of the main level holds more surprises, featuring an elegant, paneled library centered around a fireplace. Adjacent to the library, a discreet wine cellar provides climate-controlled storage for an impressive wine collection. Just beyond, the primary suite is a sanctuary with an oversized double bath with Waterworks fixtures, complete with a double steam shower, a spacious walk-in closet, a convenient coffee bar, and a sun-drenched sitting room encircled by walls of glass on three sides. Upstairs, four generous bedrooms each have en-suite baths and walk-in closets, while an upstairs recreation room provides an ideal space for a home gym.
Stepping outside, an expansive terrace offers captivating views of a sparkling pool, spa, and an outdoor kitchen. The amenities continue just across the parking court, where double doors to the recreation pavilion welcome guests to a large viewing room overlooking an indoor ice-skating rink. Designed for ultimate indoor recreation, the ice-skating rink is fully equipped and includes its own Zamboni ice surfacing machine. This versatile arena easily transforms into an indoor riding ring, tennis court, or a venue for various sports. In addition, the facility provides additional garage parking for four cars as well as a separate walk-in cooler for additional wine storage. Across the meadow, a substantial seven-stall horse stable adjoins the outdoor riding ring and serene meadows. An emergency generator is in place to operate the entire estate.
Clover Hill presents a rare opportunity for a private estate just minutes from the nation's capital. The vast acreage provides both privacy and the potential for future expansion to be cherished by generations to come. Opportunities for a private estate of this quality and scale seldom arise in the Washington area.
