The soaring proportions of a classic country hunting lodge; the kick off your shoes comfort of a mountain retreat; the moody, romantic atmosphere of a Yellowstone inspired Western cabin, all right here on 31 Shenandoah Valley view- filled acres. The owner helped place every timber, lay every stone and nail every board reclaimed from older local structures, thus giving new life to these components while imbuing the home with a sense of history. Cabinetry thru out is from barn wood- the tiered & oversized kitchen island with specially cut glass for displaying collectibles mimics an antique apothecary counter. Brick fireplace w/wood stove, large sunken living room, eat in kitchen AND dining room, den, office, powder room & primary suite on1st level; 2 bedrooms, full bath, & gallery upstairs. A sunporch and patios expand the living space to include the outdoors and are enjoyed year round. Complimented by the shade of tall trees and the gentle sound of water cascading through rocks leading to a Koi pond, the backyard is a relaxing place to sit at days end and a wonderful spot for hosting cook outs and alfresco dinners. The grounds and patio gardens are planted for beauty and color no matter what the season and the nearby woods not only shield the hillside home from the elements but serve as an ever open window to nature and a ready path to outdoor adventures. This property fronts on Rt 11 yet the home site is very private, has wonderful views yet blends in with the surroundings. Lexington is a 12 minute drive, Staunton is less than 30 minutes away. Both I- 81 and I- 64 can be accessed within 5 minutes from this property and yet neither influence it; so you can get away from it all and still get right back in the middle of it quickly if need be.
