A cozy woodland cottage set on approx 8.1 acres in Clarke County, with no HOA, this distinctive log home offers a wonderful combination of rustic character, thoughtful updates and versatile spaces. Expanded over the years, the home blends its original log construction with a stone-accented addition and a large, covered porch, creating a warm and inviting country setting.
Inside, the home retains its rustic character with a stone fireplace and woodstove insert, warm natural finishes, and a combination of maple, tile and slate flooring. The updated kitchen features oak cabinetry, granite countertops and maple flooring and opens to the combined dining and living area. The main level offers a bedroom, den, 2 full baths, laundry room and large pantry. Upstairs, you'll find a spacious bedroom along with an additional room offering flexible space for a home office, art studio, hobby room or quiet retreat.
At the rear of the home, an enclosed three-season porch with tongue-and-groove pine ceiling provides access to the rear deck and brick patio.
A substantial detached building, originally constructed as a four-car garage and currently used as a woodworking shop, adds exceptional versatility. Above the shop are approximately 600 square feet of guest quarters featuring a kitchenette and large full bath with walk-in shower. Cinch Home Warranty provided.
The property is enhanced by several natural water features, including a spring-fed creek, wet-weather stream and an additional year-round stream. If animals are part of your country-living plans, the property includes a fenced area for chickens—and even luxury heated dog houses for your four-legged family members.
Beyond the property, Clarke County offers an abundance of opportunities to enjoy the outdoors, history and culture, from the Shenandoah River and Appalachian Trail to the State Arboretum of Virginia, historic sites and local arts and cultural events.
