RARE ESTATE OPPORTUNITY | 5.74 PRIVATE ACRES | PROTECTED RIVER CORRIDOR Positioned atop a scenic hill on 5.74 private acres, River Rock Villa is a private estate where enduring design, exceptional masonry, and remarkable amenities come together. From the moment you arrive, the setting establishes a rare sense of privacy while remaining just minutes from Fredericksburg, commuter routes, and everyday conveniences. Designed for both everyday living and grand entertaining, the residence offers soaring ceilings, extensive natural stone finishes, gathering spaces, and a floor plan that balances openness with privacy. The main-level luxury suite features a Jacuzzi bath, screened porch access, and direct access to the pool terrace, offering the convenience of first-floor living. Upstairs, a gracious foyer connects four spacious bedroom suites, each with direct bath access, along with one of two laundry rooms. The 1,000-square-foot owner's suite overlooks the pool, surrounding acreage, and wooded landscape. The walk-out lower level is designed for recreation, work, and relaxation, featuring a home theater, pool room, fitness room, private office, full bath, and an impressive library with hundreds of linear feet of built-in oak shelving. Outdoor living is integral to the estate's design. At its center is a custom three-tier aquatic retreat anchored by a 20' x 40' resort-style infinity pool finished in Black Pearl PebbleTec. An elevated spa gently cascades into the main pool, while the dramatic 40-foot vanishing edge spills over handcrafted masonry into a lower 3.5-foot recreation basin, creating a striking multi-level water feature that is as beautiful as it is inviting. The lower basin also serves as the splashdown for the circular waterslide, adding another dimension of recreation while preserving the elegance of the overall design. Tucked into the natural hillside, a thoughtfully designed pavilion provides a distinctive space for gathering and entertaining. Framed by three arched double sliding glass door openings, the sand-finished interior features a pool table and picnic table, offering a comfortable retreat that feels both sheltered and connected to the surrounding landscape. Surrounded by thousands of square feet of terraces, patios, and decking, the architecture, landscape, and outdoor amenities are thoughtfully integrated to create one seamless outdoor living experience. Adding to its appeal, the estate borders the protected Rappahannock River Easement, where nearly 4,000 acres of permanently preserved landscape extend along one of Virginia's most scenic river corridors. A well-established path from the property provides convenient access to this natural setting, where historic canal walls, secluded rock and sandy river islands, and miles of unspoiled shoreline invite canoeing, kayaking, hiking, fishing, swimming, picnicking, and exploration. This protected landscape will remain preserved for generations. River Rock Villa also offers exceptional flexibility for ownership. The estate has demonstrated strong potential as a luxury short-term rental, offering supplemental income while remaining ideal to enjoy it as a private residence, multigenerational retreat, or executive getaway. Thoughtful stewardship is evident throughout the estate. Quality construction, upgraded mechanical systems, modern appliances, and carefully planned improvements reflect an ongoing commitment to preserving both the home's character and its long-term value.
