23348 TIDEWATER TRAIL ROSE HILL ESTATE-350 ACRES OF HISTORIC ELEGANCE AND ELEVATED COUNTRY LIFESTYLE. One of Virginias most distinguished country estates, this extraordinary 352-acre property offers timeless elegance, masterful restoration, and unparalleled privacy. Designed for those who seek both heritage and luxury, every detail of this estate reflects refined craftsmanship and enduring beauty. Set amid 352.24 acres of pristine Virginia countryside under conservation easement ensuring enduring privacy, this extraordinary estate blends centuries-old heritage with elegant lifestyle, the highest level of modern restoration and design. Accessed through two gated entrances, the property unfolds across rolling fields, century old grand hardwoods (perfect for swinging), formal gardens, and a stocked pond, offering an unmatched combination of seclusion, grandeur, and comfort. Originally built in 1799, the residence underwent complete restoration in 2011 by Tidewater Preservation, Inc., guided by acclaimed Charleston interior designer Amelia T. Handegan as seen in Architectural Digest. The result is an estate that honors its historic character while incorporating highest refined elegance and advanced systems, including geothermal climate control and radiant floor heating. The 5, 431 sq ft main house features 4 bedrooms, each with an ensuite bath, and gracious living spaces adorned with hardwood floors, intricate crown molding, chair railing, and custom French wallpaper. Formal entertaining rooms include a dining room with fireplace, living room with built-ins, and a distinctive octagonal music room with English windows and hand-painted geometric floors. The chefs eat-in kitchen pairs historic beauty with professional-grade amenities: wood cabinetry, stunning wood burning fireplace, marble-topped island, Wolf range, paneled appliances, wine refrigerator, and ice machine. A beautiful mudroom with built-ins and front-loading washer/dryer with access to the gorgeous garden complements the space. The stunning main level primary suite boasts front porch access, fireplace, sitting room with built-ins, walk-in closet, doors accessing the outdoors, and a marble-clad bathroom with dual sinks, soaking tub, and walk-in shower. The Additional suites provide fireplaces, built-ins, walk-in closet, and beautifully appointed baths. All with majestic views of either rolling hills and pond or stunning historic garden. Beyond the main house, a beautiful guest cottage with exposed beams, marble finishes, and fireplace offers a private retreat. A Pennsylvania bank barn (relocated in 2009) houses a gym, office with full bath, and loft. Distinctive architectural features include a Thomas Jefferson-designed dovecote with Birmingham Rollers and a new folly overlooking the stocked pond. Outdoor amenities include a tennis court with pavilion, croquet lawn, riding trails, formal gardens featured in and used for Garden Club tours highlighting the home and its Historic Garden filled with hydrangeas, peonies, fruit trees, rose of Sharon and much more. A working barn housing a herd of Belted Galloway cattle and a stocked pond with new folly complete the estate.
