today, roseloe manor rests on 12 enchanting acres, graced by a formal boxwood and rhododendron garden that echoes the estate’s historic elegance. over the past decade, the home has undergone a meticulous restoration, preserving its rich legacy while seamlessly modernizing the structure and finishes.

the exterior showcases traditional clapboard siding accented with fieldstone along the foundation, and a distinguished covered front porch welcomes guests with classic charm. inside, a central hallway anchors the layout, providing access to refined living and dining spaces, with ornate fireplaces and the hallmark craftsmanship of the victorian era. all bedrooms are located on the 2nd and 3rd floor, including a serene modern primary suite complete with a luxurious dressing room.
though significantly modernized for comfort and sustainability, every enhancement has been made with care and respect for the manor’s original character. the result is a harmonious blend of past and present. located just five minutes from the renowned omni homestead resort and garth newel music center, roseloe manor is a rare and exceptional offering nestled in the idyllic natural landscape of bath county, virginia.
