"Where the Creek Runs Gentle and the Days Run Long." Welcome to Willow Creek Farm, a 49.60-acre gentleman's estate where rural charm meets rustic sophistication. This meticulously reconstructed retreat is the vision of Steven D. Hill and Belinda Hill, renowned curators of rustic elegance whose artistry is showcased throughout the estate. The centerpiece of the property is a masterfully redesigned 5,000+ square foot residence, once taken down to the studs and reborn in the signature style of award winning S.D. Hill Construction Company. From wooden ceilings, exposed beams, and board-and-batten walls to stone fireplaces, every corner exudes authenticity and craftsmanship. Outdoors, covered porches overlook meadows that gracefully stretch towards the tranquil waters of Cane Creek and Little River, where they merge to create a scene of unmatched serenity. Gentle waterfalls, stocked trout river, a sandy beach at the swimming hole offer recreational beauty, while the potential for additional home sites with sweeping Blue Ridge Mountain views enhances the value of this breathtaking estate. Inside, the estate offers six bedrooms, including a bunk-room, five full bathrooms, and a guest powder room, all appointed with the highest quality finishes. The designer kitchen and dining area feature custom cabinets, a central island, coffee bar, high-end appliances, and views. Three fireplaces warm the home and add an element of coziness with a stone fireplace in the Living Room, the terrace level recreation room, and the Primary Suite that also offers an inviting nook for reading that leads to the stone covered balcony. Your guests will reside in luxury while visiting you because of the thoughtful design of the three en suites in addition to the Primary Bedroom suite. The estate is accessible by a private half-mile paved driveway, delivering you to the heart of this exceptional setting. An impressive 1,500-square-foot auxiliary building, featuring four garage doors and an office, is ideal for collectors, hobbyists, or equipment storage. Adjacent, a charming raised garden bed awaits your seasonal plantings. Equestrian possibilities abound, with ample pasture space and terrain conducive to a future equestrian center.
