Willowsford, a new community in Loudoun County, has gained national recognition for its farm-to-table lifestyle.

RCLCO Real Estate Advisors released a national report that lists Willowsford as 18th in the nation among top-selling master-planned communities.

According to the report, sales for 2017 were up 56 percent, compared to 2016, with more than 473 homes sold.  Willowsford is the only community in the mid-Atlantic to make the list’s top 20.

Formerly Robert Charles Lesser & Co., RCLCO is a national real estate advisory and consulting firm that provides and leverages quantitative analytics. The report, Top-Selling Master-Planned Communities in 2017, lists the top 50 best-selling master-planned communities in the U.S. 

“It’s been six years since Willowsford first opened, and the community has certainly hit its stride,” Stacey Kessinger, vice president of marketing at Willowsford, said in a statement. At the end of 2016, Willowsford ranked 45th on the list, then moved up to 21st and is now in 18th position.

Willowsford, inspired by Virginia’s agricultural heritage, includes more than 4,000 acres with 2,000 plus acres in open space.  One of its amenities is a 300-acre farm and a farm-to-table program with a culinary director, pop-up restaurants, visiting chefs and a farm market.

The community also offers more than 40 miles of trails and active outdoor programming, resort-style pools, demonstration kitchens, a seven-acre lake and fitness centers.
