80 Narmada LaneAmissville, VA 20106Price: $2,495,000

Narmada is a Sanskrit name meaning “the giver of pleasure” or “the one who soothes,” it also refers to one of India's most sacred west-flowing rivers. The name perfectly encapsulates the not only pleasure of tasting the wine grown here, but also the scenic beauty of the setting. Narmada is a vineyard and family retreat. Award-winning wines are produced from the adjacent vineyards (winery and vineyards are available for sale as well too). A large pond, and the stream that feeds it, provide a natural separation from the vineyards and winery to the estate home beyond. This private setting overlooks the vineyards in the distance on the other side of the pond creating wonderful views from everywhere in the house. The public/private nature of this property is finely balanced to provide the best of both worlds. However, this can easily be shifted to provide a high end country inn experience in the main house for an entirely commercial property. Or, conversely, the winery buildings can be converted into non-commercial use, to create a private estate centered on the manor house and the pastoral landscape. Whatever the end goal, Narmada is sure to give pleasure to its future owner. The main residence at Narmada a large and comfortable family home designed for both cozy relaxation and grand-scale entertaining. An elevator connects both floors. Kitchen facilities on both levels make it a perfect place for large family gatherings or parties. But the house can also become a quiet retreat with balconies and decks where one can read a book and admire the view. The entire property is fenced and cross-fenced with deer fencing in the orchard and vineyard areas. Lush landscaping provides a picturesque backdrop for the beautiful vineyards. Open lawns and larger specimen trees create a park-like setting throughout. A small stream feeding into the pond forms a natural division between the main house grounds and the vineyards and winery. A large 3 acre pond, stocked with fish is below the house. A large pavillion on the water's edge provides outdoor entertaining space. A deck at the pavillion also serves as a dock for swimming or boating.
