KerryHill: A Masterpiece of Jeffersonian Elegance in Lexington, Virginia.
Where the Blue Ridge and Allegheny Mountains converge, KerryHill rises from its
own private summit, defined by panoramic 360° views and a unique balance of
history with modern comfort, grandeur with warmth, connection with preserved
separation.
Atop Jacobs Ladder - where, by its very name, earth meets heaven - mornings
arrive softly with a soul warming symphony of signing birds and the kind of quiet
that lets you hear the wind in the sugar maples. Fog drifts through the valley as
the first light moves across the mountains and into the house, infusing every room
with warmth and serenity. Shenandoah Valley views unfold with layered
ridgelines, rolling pastures, and horizons of grazing horses and cattle often
compared to Switzerland or Tuscany. The Estate’s position gives the sense of
living above the clouds. Evenings spoil you with unforgettable sunsets, fireflies
spectacle, and remarkable clarity for stargazing and northern lights.
KerryHill is a serene lifestyle you inhabit, one that restores your senses every
single day. The Estate’s architectural identity is rooted in Jeffersonian principles, inspired by
the Edgemont tradition: bilateral symmetry, disciplined proportions, and
three-wing configuration reflect a deliberate commitment to classical American
design. Hand-fired Virginia brick, classical columns, antique heart pine floors
warmed by radiant heat, and a copper roof system built to outlast a century - form
a framework made to be enjoyed for generations to come.
The Main House unfolds through a welcoming foyer into formal living and dining
rooms anchored by antique fireplaces of 19th-century provenance. A rare oval
living room inspired by early Federal design lends remarkable distinction, while
the spacious kitchen pairs a Viking Professional range with custom cabinetry and
refined finishes. The primary suite offers quiet comfort and seclusion. Below, the
walk-out sanctuary features hand-laid herringbone brick tile floors, a cast-iron
fireplace, wet bar, dedicated library, guest quarters, and a period-appropriate
dumbwaiter connecting both levels - each detail thoughtfully considered.
Three wings are connected by a nearly 50-feet subterranean all-weather art gallery
and two crescent-shaped breezeways. The West Wing offers a self-contained
two-bedroom residence for guests, extended family, or staff. Above the two-car
garage, the East Wing features a lounge, guest bath, and games area with space
for a 9-feet pool table, creating ideal separation for recreation or extended
hosting.
Step outside to grounds designed with the same level of intention as the home
itself. A gated maple-lined, solar-lit drive ascends to a formal rotunda with a
granite fountain and imported firepit, creating a memorable arrival. A 70-feet
equestrian round pen and solar-roofed barn sit minutes from the Virginia Horse
Center. Cardinals, kingfishers, deer, birds of prey, and many others also call
KerryHill home. Professionally curated for four-season beauty and meticulously
maintained by a dedicated property care team, the grounds bloom from January
to December.
Two miles below, downtown Lexington - home to Washington & Lee University
since 1749 (VA's top-ranked liberal arts college), Virginia Military Institute since
1839 (ranked 3rd), and the resting place of two of America's most consequential
generals - offers cultural, academic, and historic depth. Local medical facilities
offer a wide range of services including a hospital, with world-class UVA Medical
within reach, providing convenience and peace of mind. The City offers acclaimed
dining, boutique shopping, wineries, cideries, breweries, golf, hiking, the caves,
kayaking, safari park & zoo, symphony, galleries, and a flourishing arts community.
There are homes that impress for a moment. KerryHill stays with you long after
you leave- a place where every season, every sunrise, every sunset becomes a part of you.
