Property Description
Nestled in the heart of West Virginia's rolling highlands, yet only two hours from Dulles Airport, Walnut Hill is a rare and remarkable legacy estate offering 118.36 acres of pristine landscape, 4,200 square feet of finished living space across three buildings, contemporary architecture, and unmatched serenity. In addition to the recently renovated main house, which now includes a new roof, the property features two additional structures—one a true guest house, and the other a flexible space that can serve as guest quarters, a gym, or even a seminar venue for retreats. Surrounded by panoramic mountain views and miles of private hiking trails, the estate is anchored by a glistening spring-fed pond which, through a pumping system, supplies endless water for gardening. This property is an immersive retreat for nature lovers, creative spirits, and those seeking refuge from the pace of the world. At the center of the estate lies a thoughtfully designed sunken stone courtyard—a peaceful gathering space that connects the property's three structures. The main residence offers over 2,000 square feet of meticulously crafted living space, with soaring vaulted ceilings, expansive windows, and a commanding double-sided brick radiant heater sufficient to warm the entire house. A chef's kitchen with granite countertops, floor-to-ceiling cabinetry, double ovens, and a 6-burner LP gas cooktop flows effortlessly into the formal dining area, where breathtaking views pour in through every opening. The primary suite is a luxurious escape, featuring a deep soaking tub framed by twin five-foot windows that bring in the outdoors. Two additional rooms—originally designed as his-and-her offices—offer built-in shelving and flexibility for guests, hobbies, or creative pursuits. Follow the raised walkway to the “Workshop,” a soaring structure with massive windows, two loft bedrooms, a wet bar, and a wide-open central space suited for gatherings or a gym. Inside, you'll also find a large cedar-lined sauna, full bath, laundry area, and access to a two-car garage. Steps beyond, the Guest House mirrors the same architectural elegance. Inside, a generous living room, full kitchen, and bedroom open to a spectacular loft bedroom crowned by red oak, birch, and mahogany columns. A partial basement offers extra storage and connects to a two-car carport—perfect for guests or recreational equipment. Wander beyond the buildings and you'll discover miles of private walking trails and a peaceful pond where you can cast a line, take a dip, or reflect beneath the canopy of trees. Equipped with three individual wells and a backup generator, this property could easily be converted into an off-the-grid estate. Comprising over 4,200 square feet of finished living space, Walnut Hill is an ideal multigenerational estate, private retreat, or creative refuge—one of the most unique offerings in all of West Virginia. Adding to its distinction, the estate was originally built by Jane Allen, daughter of the man who founded the Folgers Coffee Company, imbuing the property with a quiet legacy of creativity, craftsmanship, and vision. This tranquility is located just 2.5 hours from Washington, D.C., and under three hours from Pittsburgh—offering peaceful seclusion without sacrificing access to major metropolitan centers.
