Thanks to a background in business aviation, I was approached by an old friend in my former world to assist his client in selling an almost new hangar at Winchester Regional Airport, KOKV, which was no longer needed.

Having been out of the business jet and helicopter sales world since obtaining my real estate license in 2016, I was thrilled to get my feet wet again and be able to sniff some AvGas and JET A-1. Ooh that smell, as the song goes.

I was delighted to adapt my real estate marketing prowess to the hangar project, and was able to produce some excellent photographic and video material, thanks to the help of my wonderful real estate photographers.

Subsequently, I was approached by the developer of the entire hangar complex, Adsurgo, to take on several additional hangars at OKV, so with this expanded portfolio, my thought was that a team would be best positioned to handle these properties, whereupon I was delighted that my colleague and partner in the bigger deals, Charlie Thies, with his USAF background, agreed to collaborate.

Charlie has done a sterling job at updating the kokvhangars.com website - take a look!

We now have a selection of new and almost new hangars available to purchase for discerning owners of aircraft which truly should not be left out in the open. These homes for planes feature fast opening electric remote control bifold hangar doors, epoxy flooring, compressed air hook ups, remote operated vehicle doors and far more. 

Winchester is growing fast, and Winchester Regional Airport is convenient and doesn't have some of the restrictions which airports closer to Washington DC suffer. Moreover, many other smaller airports have long waiting lists for hangars, but not here! So get in now while there's availability.

Contact us today, or if you know someone who needs a warm and cozy home for their prized possession, let them know! These will not last long.

It's hard to imagine a Virginia property with finer views, and even harder to capture the essence of those views of iconic Old Rag with a camera, when the human eye still possesses the finest optical technology.

When my co-listing agent, Charlie Thies, and I first drove up the one mile, asphalt driveway to the top, being pressed into the backrests of my SUV's seats, we were truly astounded and mesmerized by what we found. A property originally built in 1973 and gradually expanded upon during the intervening years by fastidious owners with a passion for the unique, and the very special.

There we were, high up in this wonderful county, just minutes away from the quaint town of Washington, Virginia, home to the incredible Michelin 3 star restaurant hotel, the Inn at Little Washington, which additionally holds a Michelin Green Star, for restaurants which uphold sustainable and eco friendly culinary practices. In fact, Reality Mountain has also served as 'spillover' accommodation for the Inn, when weary lovers of gastronomy found no room at, yes, the Inn! The B&B special use permit conveys with the sale of this property, an unusual and much more difficult to obtain benefit today.

The house, which more resembles a castle, faces almost due south, ensuring that the massive double height windows provide its owners and guests with sunrises and sunsets and everything in between. The property lies within 50 serene acres, all in Open Space Easement, and has 8 bedrooms, including several self contained suites, 6 gorgeous full bathrooms and 3 half baths, on over 8,000 finished square feet of living space.

​The many different areas of the home, and its extraordinary layout, mean it takes quite some time to know where everything is, and how they are linked, such as the second floor enclosed walkway to one of the mini apartments. So much so that we created this 3-D floor plan to help the visitor travel through Reality Mountain.

Charlie and I are thrilled to have been entrusted with the global marketing of Reality Mountain, to secure the next stewards to take this magnificent property into the future. 

It took a while, but in this case, patience was definitely a virtue as we sold our beautiful raw five-acre land lot in the desirable Carrwood Estates community of Great Falls, Virginia last week. The lucky buyer is, we understand, planning to build a unique custom home; we can't wait to see it!

We still have the amazing Deckhouse listing opposite the lot, also on five acres, and ready for it's next custodians to stamp their own personalities on this wonderful post and beam construction house, which boasts around 6,800 square feet - check out the website and video tour below. 

Priced at $2,400,000, the house represents great value when one analyzes the 'comps', particularly the most recent one described above!

Don't hesitate to call me to set up a tour, or have your agent schedule it at your convenience.

The spring market is about to start, and with low inventory all over the region, properties like this will be snapped up.

​Happy (property) hunting!

I am thrilled, and honored to be the listing agent of a 1980 Deckhouse in Great Falls, Virginia.

What is a Deckhouse, you might well ask. Trust me when I say that it's a movement, as well as a wonderful product, a home which will stand for ages and which, thanks to its post and beam construction, allows the homeowner to play about with internal wall locations as they are essentially non load bearing. 

My colleague, Andrea and I made an on the fly video walk around of the property, 9560 Edmonston Drive, Great Falls, VA 22066, which can be watched below:

I'm planning more open houses of this Deckhouse so let me know if you wish to be alerted to upcoming dates, subject of course to the property remaining unsold!

This delightful Middleburg estate, about to hit the market, beautifully encapsulates why one would want to live in this idyllic part of the world. Hidden well away from the beaten track, off a traditional gravel road, the house and barn are sited on ten partially wooded acres and totally insulated from the noise of every day life, except for the sounds of wildlife. 

The house was designed by well respected architect, William E. Poole and built by a local custom builder in 2000. Finishings are to a very high standard and touches such as an eighteenth and a nineteenth century manel, Brazilian Cherry hardwood floors and 10-foot ceilings on the main level make this a home where memories will be created for a lifetime.

My listing of the beautiful Belmar Farm on Saint Louis Road, Middleburg just closed, with happy listing clients and delighted new owners.

The home was built by local custom builder, University Group, in 2005 and consists of almost 8,000 finished square feet on three levels. The land upon which the house sits is quite simply spectacular, with incredible views of the Blue Ridge Mountains from the 25 acre site.

 I must mention the buyers agent with whom I worked on this transaction, Mary Illes, who was absolutely fantastic to work with, and whom I am very grateful for bringing such lovely clients. 

I'm thrilled to be listing shortly this lovely property on Calumet Lane, in beautiful Bluemont Virginia. With over 16 acres of land, including both woodland and level grassland, and a new 2-stall Amish barn, this property is a nature lovers dream. 

The house was modeled on a waterfront design, in which the main rear facing windows capture the splendor of this stunning countryside setting.

Expected date on market is August 10th, with interior photos and full video tour coming between now and then, so stay tuned!!
