The keystone of the Willowsford vision is "Inspired Living", establishing grounded connections for the community and its residents to enrich their quality and variety of life. Willowsford draws on Virginia's scenic landscape and rich agricultural heritage to create a community defined by its expansive natural beauty, unique and engaging recreational spaces, a strong food and farm connection, and activities that encourage an appreciation for the environment and land stewardship.
Located in the heart of Loudoun County, Willowsford spans over 4,000 acres and is comprised of four distinctive "villages" interconnected within the framework of the overall community: The Grange, The Grant, The Grove and The Greens. More than half of the land in the community is designated to remain as open space under the stewardship of the Willowsford Conservancy, a nonprofit organization specially formed to oversee and maintain Willowsford's extensive natural resources. This scenic "Naturescape" strongly characterizes the traditional Virginia countryside, with lush forests, rolling meadows and agricultural fields punctuated by hedgerows and woodland streams that will be maintained through a variety of sustainable uses intended to further connect residents to the land and its legacy, such as Willowsford Farm.
This remarkable lifestyle connection is further enhanced by a variety of distinctive and engaging recreational areas and programs. Sycamore House and The Lodge at Willow Lake, two of the community centerpieces, will include resort-quality amenities. These signature facilities showcase Willowsford's farm-to-table attributes by supporting a variety of culinary activities and have been thoughtfully planned to provide residents with a range of exceptional indoor and outdoor features that will appeal to all ages, including two distinctive pool complexes with a spray-and-play park, state-of-the-art fitness facilities and a village green framed by decorative gardens.
Willowsford will also feature an extensive trail and park network, a lake for non-motorized boating and fishing, an amphitheatre, a dog park, camping and interpretive nature areas. The emphasis on open space as a recreational amenity, sustainable agriculture and the authentic character are all intended to integrate Willowsford into the local landscape in a way that has not been done before in Northern Virginia…creating a unique environment and a sense of place that sets Willowsford apart from other communities in the area.
