Located just 5 minutes from downtown Wardensville, WV and bordered on three sides by the majestic George Washington National Forest. Our retreat, Será at Sandy Ridge, offers a serene escape just 2 hours from Washington DC.

Phase One of our development features two thoughtfully designed two-bedroom villas each meticulously crafted to foster an intimate connection with the stunning natural surroundings.

Our villas showcase:

  • 9′-0″ tall glass walls framing the natural landscape 
  • Living room and bedrooms that frame captivating views
  • Full luxury kitchens
  • Spa-inspired bathrooms
  • Exterior deck
  • Integrated plunge pool that extends beyond the structure, allowing guests to immerse themselves in the surrounding landscape of trees, sky, and stars.
  • Private fire pit and seating area

Sustainability is at the heart of our design philosophy. We are proud to be using Cambium’s Carbon Smart Wood™, sourced for all of our siding, decking, soffits, and interior wood flooring. Cambium is rebuilding the lumber supply chains to salvage local lumber that would otherwise find its way to the landfill (the “Smart” in Carbon Smart Wood™), making them the world’s first carbon-negative lumber company. By using Carbon Smart Wood on our two villas we’re diverting 23.86 megatons of carbon dioxide equivalent, equal to:

  • 3 of years of energy for one home
  • 0.32 of tanker trucks of gasoline
  • 2.38 of car trips around the earth

In addition to the villas, our retreat will feature a:

  • Tranquil pond with a yoga deck extending over the water
  • 8-person sauna with an expansive glass portal window
  • Refreshing cold plunge, and an outdoor shower
  • Communal spaces with grills, pizza oven, hammocks, and lounge seating, providing the perfect setting for relaxation and socializing.
  • Private hiking trails to offer guests a personal journey through nature.

At DVN, we are dedicated to creating a place where luxury and environmental stewardship coexist, providing an unparalleled experience in the heart of West Virginia.

Join us at Será at Sandy Ridge in summer 2025, where we are redefining the boundaries of sustainable luxury and offering a transformative escape from everyday life.
