Welcome to your private 5.2 acre nature sanctuary in Powhatan! Nestled down a scenic 500-foot driveway lined with classic split-rail fencing, this spacious Cape Cod offers the ultimate blend of secluded country living and modern convenience, located just a half-mile from Route 60. Inside, the home boasts an open, airy layout defined by soaring cathedral ceilings, a vaulted foyer, beautiful oak flooring throughout, and quality plantation shutters on every window. The gourmet kitchen features granite countertops, a bright breakfast nook looking out through French doors, a built-in desk, and a laundry room with a fully shelved walk-in pantry. The first-floor primary suite is a true retreat, offering a new soaking tub and French doors opening to a massive, full length rear deck that provides a constant view of the woods. A formal dining room overlooks the quiet front yard. Upstairs, accessible by two separate flights of stairs at either end of the house, you will find a bonus room over the garage—perfect for a media room, play area or home office. Storage is unmatched with a large walk-in attic, and a ground-floor utility closet with pine shelving. Outside, enjoy a full-length front porch and back porches with a brand new deck/landing off of the rear porch, elegant stone walls, a stone step walkway with a dedicated herb garden, and front landscaping featuring a skip-laurel hedge, roses, lilies, and Japanese maples. Attached two-car garage includes a built-in workbench and large storage closet. The pristine, wooded acreage is a nature-lover’s dream, heavily forested with mature hardwoods like oak, hickory, and beech. A vibrant, year-round creek flows along the far property boundary, feeding into Deep Run. This healthy stream is a frequent stop for deer, turkey, and wildlife, and features freshwater mussels, crayfish, and aquatic plants. Enjoy outdoor recreation on the cleared trail that loops the entire property boundary that is perfect for nature hikes. A rare paradise that you will want to make your own!
