Journey beside the Shenandoah River to this truly one-of-a-kind equestrian estate with a log house, where exceptional craftsmanship, timeless character, and outstanding land improvements come together on 11 picturesque acres, including 7 fully fenced acres. A meandering creek winds through the property, creating an idyllic setting surrounded by mature trees, open pasture, and complete privacy.
Built to the highest standards, the centerpiece of the property is a stunning hand-hewn cedar log home by Hearthstone, topped with a recently painted and sealed black standing seam metal roof designed for beauty and longevity. The black gutters and downspouts complement the stunning appeal. All windows and door trim have been stained black. Inside, soaring ceilings, exposed beams, and abundant natural light highlight the home's rustic elegance. The impressive floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace was handcrafted using stones gathered from the property's own Morgan Mill Stream and is currently wood-burning with the option to convert to gas. The newly installed ductless Mitsubishi HVAC systems (2) will keep you comfortable year round. The wrap around deck has been recently stained adding to the low maintenance features of this home. The exterior logs have been stained and sealed and the chinking has been painted.
The updated kitchen features whitewashed cabinetry with new hardware, granite countertops, new faucets, and updated lighting. Additional improvements include refreshed bathroom cabinetry, new granite in the lower-level bath, a restored clawfoot tub, new toilet, Samsung washer and dryer, and updated ceiling fans and lighting.
Major infrastructure updates include a Water Pro water treatment system, PumpTec well pump protection system, and automatic well safety shutoff (2020), resurfaced stone driveway with an additional 150-foot loop (2021), and high-speed internet service.
Designed with the equestrian lifestyle in mind, the property includes a 2-stall shed-row barn with a 6' x 12' feed room, oversized 10' x 12' and 12' x 14' stalls with Dutch doors, two large three-board fenced pastures with electric fencing, and a second 13' x 30' barn providing tack, hay, and equipment storage plus an additional rubber-matted run-in stall. Both barns have water service, creating an ideal setup for 2-3 horses or a variety of small farm animals.
Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate the 30' x 23' fenced garden with three raised beds, installed in 2021, along with the property's close proximity to Sky Meadows State Park, the State Arboretum (both approximately 15 minutes away), and the Appalachian Trail, located less than a mile from the property, offering endless opportunities for horseback riding, hiking, and outdoor recreation. Be sure to visit the Bluemont Winery, Bear Chase Brewery and many more all within 15-30 minutes.
A rare opportunity to own a meticulously maintained log home and turnkey horse farm where quality construction, thoughtful improvements, and an extraordinary natural setting create an exceptional lifestyle.
