Someday Farm | Barboursville, Va | ESTATE
‘Someday’ A Captivating Country Estate
A captivating country estate!
This 14,000 sq. ft. main house was built using old-world craftsmanship and materials and modern luxury following the “New Old House” tenants of Russell Versachi. Throughout this custom home, exceptional attention was taken to incorporate period-correct details against a backdrop of reclaimed wood and antique stone. It is this level of layered detail that enables Someday Farm to sit softly in the landscape – perched perfectly above the beautiful waterscapes, combined with mountains and glorious rolling fields as far as you can see! Beyond the main residence, you will be wowed by a massive generator, multiple wood-burning furnaces for homes and barns (sustainable supply from the farm's hardwood forest) an abundance of recreational options (stocked pond, orchard, gardens, woodworking shop, hiking/riding trails) the farm has a healthy and diverse wildlife population and is located 25 minutes from most of Charlottesville's attractions (including CHO, JPJ & UVA), just off of the Rt29 corridor, yet in the heart of Orange's historic countryside. Additional features: 2nd residence~a retreat all its own!! 3bed/2.5bath | 2bed/2bath Garage Apt.| beautiful gated entrance| winding paved driveway| large upper and lower level climate-controlled garage.
Insider scoop:
•Handmade “cobble-oak” flooring similar to that seen in European outbuildings. Each square was painstakingly crafted and stained by hand from oak cut in the Graves Mill valley. The floor is dry-laid and very easy maintenance and makes a striking complement to the custom circular staircase.
•Tulikivi fireplace in soapstone that runs through all three floors in the heart of the home. This gentle wood heat only needs to be fed twice per twenty-four hours. It also features a pizza/wood-fire oven for those who love baking.
•Large upper and lower level climate-controlled garage
Farm comments: ‘Someday’ features two barns, one a traditional restored barn originally built for sheep, and a new “barn” that is a dream workshop and designed to accommodate a sawmill; built to house a Woodmizer sawmill, a woodworking shop, and space for drying lumber facilitated by a hoist. The building also contains a powder room and is heated by a wood-fired hot water system in the flooring. Next to the impressive raised bed garden, a tack room, and a food preparation area w. walk-in cooler.
