Set amid 53 acres of protected Virginia countryside in the heart of The Plains, Look Up Farm stands among the Capital Region’s most remarkable private estates. Surrounded by blue ridge mountain vistas on the front of the home, while the back of the home enjoys rolling pastures and horses grazing in the distance, pastoral countryside views and hay bales resting on the land in spring and fall.
