A rare and significant example of classic midcentury modern architecture, with one of the area's most dramatic views of the Blue Ridge Mountains, and only 15 minutes to Charlottesville. Designed by UVA Architecture Professor Josh Harvey and built as a weekend retreat for famed Richmond coal family son Ivor Massey, Jr., this home features old growth redwood and views from every bedroom. Recently updated with Brazilian slate and cork floors, the house also features a renovated kitchen with Sub-Zero and Wolf appliances, custom redwood cabinets and a wine refrigerator. Bathroom renovations include an oversized, soapstone soaking tub and modern German fixtures. With two guest houses and an updated heated saltwater pool, the property is a rare combination of comfort, views and nature-inspired design— just two hours from DC.
