Nestled in the foothills of the
Blue Ridge mountains and in an area of large estates, High Thicket's 113+ acres is permanently protected
by an open space easement. The land is about 40% open and the balance forested with Poplar, Oak, Maple
and other hardwoods. Deer and Bear are often sited. High Thicket currently shares the ownership
of a large woodland pond that is stocked with Bass and Bluegill. Created out of a raw parcel of land in
the mid 60's, the previous owners had a great aesthetic sense and started a tradition of land stewardship
that continues to this day. This estate has a very established atmosphere and has served as a
social center for the area for the last 35+ years.

High Thicket is located in the heart of the Thornton Hill Hounds hunt territory. Laced with
riding trails, the hunt often rides over the property. In years past, High Thicket served as the site for
hunt functions. The property is fenced and cross fenced with a substantial portion fenced in a
manner suitable to horses. The 5 stall horse barn with tack room is conveniently positioned on
the drive in and makes High Thicket suitable for the occasional rider and the active huntsman.

Convenient to the main house is a poolhouse which contains a large indoor
heated pool and a guest apartment. The pool surrounds and front area
are tiled with a soapstone surface.
