Showings BY APPOINTMENT ONLY, including during OPEN HOUSES. This is a magical place in the heart of Northern Fauquier County, only 1 hour from Washington DC. Close to picturesque country villages, wineries, inns, farm-to-table restaurants, and the Shenandoah mountains, the location is remarkable.
The property offers peace, privacy, serenity. The older part of the house was built around 1880, a first major remodel was done in the late 1990s (and got an award), and in 2017 a new west side added a modern master suite, a family room, an office, a second basement, and elevator, and a 2-car garage. Swimming pool was recently renovated too. House is equipped with solar and geothermal sources of energy.
Enjoy wonderful views from the 4 bedrooms (3 en suite) and from the delightful main level that features an open kitchen, dining room, living room with French doors to a deck, family room opening to a stone patio, office, and a sunroom with a wooden stove. A huge unfinished basement awaits input from the new owners.
The barn upper level offers a 1br/1ba apartment, with a deck, and plenty of attic space. On the main level is a half bath, 6 stalls, tack room, and wash stall. A pole barn, a fenced-in vegetable garden, beautiful hardscapes, and 78 acres of rolling hills complete this amazing offering.
The mix of old charm and new comfort brought the property a Southern Living Home Award in 1999 and a full feature in the “The Barefoot Home” book. Property is currently enrolled in the land-use program which offers owner a reduction in taxes. If Buyer removes property from land-use program, Seller shall not be responsible for any possible roll-back taxes.
Shown by Appointment Only. Visitors must be accompanied by their buyer's agent, or make appointment with listing agent who lives nearby.
