Our Community

Mon, 17 Dec 2007 07:35:00 -0500

Raspberry Falls is one of the most unique developments in Loudoun County. Based on the hamlet design, Raspberry Falls features fine homes, abundant open space and wonderful views of the surrounding country and the Catoctin Mountains. Lots here range in size from just under an acre to more than 25 acres in the hills.

Rated one of the best in Virginia, the Raspberry Falls Golf and Hunt Club provides a Country-Club-for-a-day experience to its guests. A Gary Player design course modeled after the links layouts found in Scotland.

And, Raspberry does have the occasional hunt for the elusive fox. You will see period dressed hunters mounted on elegant horses with a bevy of hounds eager to chase the prized red fox.

There is much wildlife to enjoy including deer (sometimes in large herds), red fox, groundhogs and snapping turtles emerging from their homes near the creeks. The bird population abounds with a wide variety of species including the brilliant red Cardinal, an occasional Oriole, Blue Jays and Yellow Finch. Geese make a habit of stopping off here during their migrations.

The history of the development includes the Civil War, the Raspberry Plain mansion, a landing strip and nearby Selma Plantation. The property includes many of the original buildings including the mansion, barns and silos. Several creeks meander through the property originating in the hills west of us, complete with natural pools and waterfalls.

The community features fine homes built by the Van Metre Companies including the Marquis Custom Home Division. The original county approved plan specifying hamlets was a first in Loudoun County. The approach groups up to 25 homes together built close to the streets maintaining an expanse of open space behind. This innovative design works well for the elegant community, providing for a neighborhood setting with the charm of country club living.

Golf & Hunt Club

Sat, 15 Dec 2007 06:01:49 -0500

A short 3.5 miles north on Route 15 from Leesburg, Va., you’ll find Raspberry Falls Golf and Hunt Club, a spectacular course with all the marks of what makes for an exceptional round of golf. As you encounter our rambling streams, bunkers, stone walls and spectacular rolling terrain you’re almost going to you feel that you’ve traveled across the Atlantic to play golf in the British Isles. And yet you’re in Virginia’s horse country with vistas of the Catoctin Mountains in the background “This site was made for a golf course,” says Gary Player, the designer of this beautiful layout. And Player truly succeeded here in using the natural features of the land — the hills and knolls, the native hardwoods, the indigenous rock outcroppings and the spectacular vistas — to create one of Virginia’s finest courses.

Golden strands of heather line the fairways adding to the feel of being on the hallowed links courses of the British Isles. One piece of advice you might receive in the pro shop is to avoid the Scottish style stacked-sod bunkers, inspired by the great links courses of golfing’s past.

Ours is a public course that has the gracious service and well-maintained fairways that you’ll experience at the finest private clubs. And we hold the distinction of being Virginia’s only Gary Player Signature Design.

The 7,191-yard, par-72 layout rambles through what was called “Raspberry Plain,” which during the 18th century was one of the most fertile plantations in all Virginia. Several sets of tee boxes make the course a treat for golfers of all skill levels. Ariel view of the clubhouse.
