Lewellyns mile drive is graced with majestic trees, fenced fields, and beautiful gardens, which lead up to and surround the stately manor house. Beautifully sited on a knoll, the home enjoys magnificent Blue Ridge Mountain views.The spectacular 260 acres, with 5 remaining DURs, offers easement as well as family compound potential.
The grandeur of the home embodies the understated elegance and charm essential in creating such a welcoming residence.

Today, one enters the home from the west and the wonderful 3 bay covered porch, perfect for outdoor living and dining. After several additions, todays home is approximately 9,000 sq. ft. As written in the book, In The Shadow of the Blue Ridge, The north wing of the home was added in the 1930s to provide a self-sufficient wing. Today, this wing offers a sitting room, as well as a second kitchen, for extended family and guest, and is currently available through Airbnb. In 1976 a south wing was added, which added symmetry to the home. Today, the original south wing houses the spacious chefs kitchen, featuring soapstone countertops, a 6-burner gas stove, and subzero refrigerator and freezer, and is open to the charming gathering room with stone fireplace. In 2008 an additional south wing was added creating a dramatic juxtaposition of the 19th and 21st century.
