Some homes simply occupy a lot. Others belong to their setting in a way that feels inevitable—as though the landscape had been waiting for exactly this house, in exactly this spot.

35080 McKnight Court is that kind of home. View the full MLS listing here: 35080 McKnight Ct, Round Hill, VA 20141
Positioned along the dramatic par-5 fifth hole of Stoneleigh Golf & Country Club, this residence captures what so many buyers seek but rarely find: the convergence of refined living, thoughtful design, and views that shift with the light from sunrise over the fairway to sunset over the Blue Ridge.
A Community with Genuine Character
Stoneleigh isn't a manufactured neighborhood with a golf course attached. Its history reaches back to the 1742 Lord Fairfax land grant, through the Civil War—when Eliza James famously extinguished flames set by General Sheridan's troops to save the family barn that still stands today—and into the 20th century when Colonel Frank Sleeter transformed the property into Hill High Orchard, one of the largest apple and peach operations on the eastern seaboard. Scattered apple trees throughout the community remain as quiet reminders of that agricultural heritage.

The golf course itself emerged in 1992 under the vision of Lisa Maki, a Hall of Fame architect and one of only seven women designing courses in America at the time. Her Scottish links-inspired design earned recognition from Golf Magazine as the prettiest course in Northern Virginia. At 6,782 yards from the back tees with a slope rating around 141-142, Stoneleigh challenges serious golfers while rewarding thoughtful play. The signature stone walls running throughout the course offer both beauty and free drops—a detail appreciated more than once per round.

Approximately 140 homes occupy one- to three-acre lots here, with architectural styles ranging from Cape Cod to Colonial to French Provincial. The community sits at the base of Round Top, the 910-foot knob that gave the Town of Round Hill its name, with the Blue Ridge Mountains forming the western backdrop. Beyond golf, Stoneleigh offers pool facilities, tennis and pickleball courts, and a clubhouse restaurant—amenities that draw neighbors together throughout the year.

A Home Designed for Today's Lifestyle
Built in 2015 and thoughtfully updated since, 35080 McKnight Court offers more than 8,200 square feet of living space across three finished levels. The floor plan reflects how discerning buyers actually want to live—with flexibility built into every level.

The main-level primary suite stands out as a particular strength. Complete with a spa-inspired ensuite featuring a jetted tub, generous walk-in closet, and a sitting room with wine bar, this space provides the comfort and convenience that buyers increasingly prioritize. For those planning to age in place, accommodate multi-generational family members, or simply prefer single-level daily living, this layout delivers.
Spaces for Gathering and Retreat
The heart of the home centers on an expansive gourmet kitchen designed for both serious cooking and effortless entertaining. Dual oversized islands anchor the space, which flows naturally into a sun-filled family room. A rear staircase provides convenient access to four additional bedrooms on the upper level—a practical detail that families with children will appreciate.

The 3,140-square-foot finished lower level extends the home's versatility further still. Current configurations include a fitness room, recreation space, and guest suite with full bath. Walk-out access to the rear yard makes this level feel connected to the outdoors rather than tucked away. The generous backyard offers potential for a future pool, outdoor kitchen, or landscaped garden retreat.

The View That Changes Everything
Stoneleigh is known throughout Loudoun County for its natural beauty, but 35080 McKnight Court occupies one of the community's most coveted view lots. Looking east: the manicured expanse of the golf course. Looking west: the Blue Ridge Mountains in their every seasonal mood. The west-facing orientation means sunset views year-round—and come July, a front-row seat to the fireworks that Stoneleigh residents traditionally watch from the hilltops.

Wildlife adds to the setting: deer moving through the fairways at dawn, foxes making their rounds, wild turkeys calling from the woods in summer. This is western Loudoun living at its most authentic.

Location and Lifestyle
Round Hill offers small-town convenience just minutes away—from the Round Hill Farm to Trail Company for outdoor gear to More Better Beer Garden for casual dining and C'est Bon for something more refined. Sleeter Lake and Franklin Park provide additional recreation, while Purcellville expands options further with restaurants, shops, and services.
These are the details that transform a house into a home worth keeping.
