Set on a 31.23-acre lot between Middleburg and The Plains, in the heart of Virginia’s horse country, 6289 Coon Tree Rd. in The Plains is a refined French country–style estate. Built in 2001, the single-level house was designed by architect Ron Youngson with a serene and sophisticated U-shaped layout.
The home includes two bedrooms and three full bathrooms, with a total interior area of 3,528 square feet. It is currently listed at $3,690,000.

As you enter through the front entrance, you are immediately greeted with a large open floor plan with the grand drawing room as the heart of the home. The grand drawing room features imported limestone at the entrance, tall wooden beam ceilings, big French doors showcasing the natural light and backyard, pickled oak floors, and a tall fireplace.

The kitchen is seamlessly connected to the grand drawing room and pulls you in with its cream-colored, rustic barnyard aesthetic.
