A COMMANDING SETTING with pastoral and mountain views, this nearly 12 acre property is the perfect retreat for the family desiring an idyllic country life style but still within easy commuting range of the DC Metro area. The meandering driveway insulates the home nicely from the roadway and unfolds through a perfect habitat for songbirds and assorted wildlife, then emerges into the approx. 5 acre home site of cleared level to gently rolling land. Updates since Aug. of 2019 include new roof with 30 year architectural shingles, interior painting, all carpeting throughout and granite kitchen counter tops. The full walk-out basement is plumbed for 3rd bath and flows nicely into the rear patio entertaining area and recently built 24' x 20' Trex deck with superior 8 person Hot Tub. Providing protection from future development, the parcels bordering to the west, south and southeast are without additional DUR's and the remaining neighboring land to the east and north is occupied by a bucolic and well maintained black angus cow and sheep farm. Complementing the estate is a 24' x 24' outbuilding with power that could easily be adapted to multiple purposes plus a 48' x 32' deer proof garden area with 8 mature blueberry bushes. The property is conveniently located within 3.50 miles of Berryville and only minute's from the famed Shenandoah River. In addition, the serious jogger, walker or biker will find the extensive network of rural roads extremely beneficial to their enjoyment.
