Listing details

Introducing Llanmeath—a rare and enchanting retreat located along quaint and rural Raven Rocks Road in Virginia’s Blue Ridge Mountains. Commissioned in the 1930s and inspired by a Welsh hunting lodge, this extraordinary stone residence offers a timeless blend of historic charm, architectural pedigree, and breathtaking natural beauty. Crafted from native mountain stone, Llanmeath welcomes guests through a storybook gate and stable-style courtyard, setting the tone for the artistry within. The soaring great room, with its two-story stone fireplace, cathedral ceilings, pine floors, and commanding views of the Shenandoah Valley, is a space of pure wonder—an ideal setting for both intimate gatherings and grand celebrations. Thoughtful expansions over the years have elevated the home while honoring its spirit: a luxurious primary suite, a detached carriage house with apartment, a two-car garage, and an elegant English conservatory, seamlessly integrated with the kitchen and dining areas which were renovated in 2021. Across from the kitchen, a study with adjacent powder room offers versatility as a guest room or home office. Beyond the great room, a charming library/family room continues to frame sweeping mountain vistas. A private hall leads to the primary suite, featuring a propane fireplace, spa-like bath, renovated in 2023, and two sitting rooms—one opening onto a wisteria-draped terrace, the other connecting to an elevator accessing the guest quarters below. A separate staircase links the great room to a delightful guest suite with attached bathroom and walkout to the back patio. The grounds are equally captivating: mature gardens, wrought-iron fencing atop stone walls, a sculpted yew hedge, rolling lawns cascading to a forest and stream, and a wisteria-covered porch perfect for al fresco entertaining. Deer, birdsong, and endless valley views create a setting of incomparable peace and beauty. Llanmeath Lodge is a property of rare character and enduring elegance—offering a lifestyle of quiet luxury, effortless hospitality, and timeless enchantment.
