Across Virginia, a quartet of residences frames privacy as a daily luxury, pairing substantial homes with land and water that keep the outside world at a distance. From Lake Occoquan’s 392 feet of shoreline and wooded five-acre setting to a 142-acre recreational tract with two dwellings, waterfall, stream, and trails, nature is more than a backdrop. Even within Laurel Hill and North County, outdoor living takes center stage through a premium corner lot, deck and Jacuzzi, and creekside acreage with a workshop and two-lot flexibility.
