“Strolling up to SALUBRIA HOUSE in the countryside of Virginia feels like stepping back in time. Now a wedding site, the inside of the house has been uninhabited for decades, sitting vacant in a grassy field overlooking cow pastures and scenic rolling hills. With no electricity or running water inside, the paint is crumbling, the early spring air is chilly, and dust has formed atop piles of bricks on the second floor. Yet, there is a subtle magic here. We felt it daily, with the morning dew evaporating to reveal an outdoor carpet of purple crocus flowers; with the warmth of the sun’s rays streaming through the tall house windows, and most of all with the introduction of lush greenery……”—Magnolia Rouge

“Salubria House A magical, perfectly deconstructed preserved formal home with beautiful aging teal walls and the most perfect setup overlooking the sunset!”—Lauren Fair

“Salubria has long stolen the hearts of industry professionals as one of the more dreamily detailed surviving colonial structures. An 18th century Georgian manor house nestled in the sloping landscape of Virginia.”—The White Wren
