This developments hosts 54 holes of golf by Dan Maples, Virginia's largest wine cellar, tennis, pool and jogging trails nestled in rolling hills and lush woodlands. "We are in the final stages of completing a $5-and-a-half million clubhouse renovation," says Pysher. Additions will include a grill room, wrap-around bar, additional banquet room, expanded pro shop and a member's only dining service.

Wooded home-sites from 1/3-acre to 1-acre plus are available on the golf course, next to the wildlife preserve, overlooking the lake from $79,000 to $450,000.
