The approach to La Terra is down a charming private lane passing a natural rock out cropping, hand laid stone walls, a lovely meandering stream and small pond. This elegant stucco home is beautifully sited on a private knoll with panoramic views of the Blue Ridge Mountains and surrounding countryside.
La Terra was built by the current owner who painstakingly designed the residence to take full advantage of the topography of the land and the lovely views it provides. The upper levels of this 5,000 square foot home are filled with light from the tall casement windows with transoms placed across the entire rear of the house bringing the outdoors inside. The open, but traditional floor plan welcomes you into the dramatic two story foyer with lovely staircase flanked by a charming den and dining room. A gourmet kitchen located off of the family room was designed for the most discriminating chef. Granite countertops, stainless 6 burner Dacor gas range with 2 ovens plus 2 additional wall ovens, Kitchen Aid dishwasher, refrigerator, cherry cabinets, custom tiled floor and backsplash, plus enormous pantry are just a few of this rooms amenities. The living room has a stone fireplace and French doors leading out to the covered porch. A spacious first floor master bedroom suite also has access to a small deck for enjoying the mountain views. An elegant master bath with separate shower, Jacuzzi and two walk-in closets will satisfy the most discriminating homeowner.
