Description

One-of-a-kind 12.58-acre property at the top of Blue Mountain in Fauquier County. Adjoins National Forest and State Parkland. Steps to the Appalachian National Scenic Trail (Appalachian Trail) & GR Thompson Wildlife Management area. About a 30-minute hike to Sky Meadows State Park from the property. The elevation of the home is 1720 ft. The home is situated beautifully on the property within the natural landscape. Light filled open floor plan. Living/Great Room with beamed cathedral wood ceiling and walls, large wood burning 2 story stone fireplace. Open Dining Area with picture window to enjoy the expansive views. Open Kitchen with a great layout, plenty of counter space including a 6-foot-long counter to accommodate plenty of seating, very functional though new owner may want to upgrade at some point in the future. Sliding glass doors between the open Living/Great Room and Dining Area lead to a large stone patio with an outdoor stone fireplace. The stone used in the construction of the interior fireplaces as well as the exterior of the home is local Shenandoah Valley bluestone. The main level Primary Bedroom suite has plenty of windows and a floor to ceiling wood burning stone fireplace and hearth. The upper level has 2 additional Bedrooms (one with a window overlook to the Great Room), a Full Bath, a linen closet and a large room with built in shelving and a skylight which can be used as a Den/Home Office/Playroom/Game Room. Plenty of closets, attic and eaves storage, attached outdoor storage area and a large shed. Roof and gorgeous Hardiplank siding replaced in 2008, HVAC & water heater replaced about 6 years ago. With updates, (especially new carpet or wood flooring throughout) this will be the perfect mountain home retreat. Secluded, peaceful, private, rustic, wonderful views in every direction, natural rock outcroppings, surrounded by trees, wildflowers, nature and wildlife. The roads off of Freezeland Road are gravel and dirt. 4WD/AWD vehicles recommended though not required to reach the property. The land is in a land preservation/conservation easement (Zoned RC Rural/Residential Conservation) with Fauquier County and thankfully cannot be subdivided.
