This authentic, historic, farmhouse could be the perfect week-end getaway, or the foundation for a more permanent  home. Needing just a little TLC, the original flooring, mantels, stonework, and doors enhance  this rustic gem! As you approach the property you are greated by ancient boxwoods that shelter the home and create a peaceful haven. The long screened porch is the perfect spot to relax and enjoy nature.

There are so few unspoiled homes like this one left in Rappahannock! With just a few additions, this home could be a comfortable fulltime or week-end home for years to come.

This property, set on almost 9 open, rolling acres, could be fenced for pasture, planted as a vineyard, or just left open for wildlife spottings and play. Hay is being harvested presently, so the land could qualify for land use.  

This inviting front, screened, porch  is spacious enough for dining or entertaining.

The living room adjacent to the foyer on the main level features original flooring, good light,  and comfortably high ceiling.

Three fireplaces, one on each level, expand the options for living.

 

Historic details, like this original plank door, abound in this lovely cottage-like dwelling.

The warm glow of aged wood draws the eye to the beautiful curved stairs, leading to the kitchen below, and the bedrooms above.

Imagine dining with guests in the warm glow of burning embers nearby, in this unique and special setting.

Appointed with period pieces the kitchen stands out as a highlight of this home.

The stone foundation that forms the walls of the kitchen add to the historic charm of this space.

 

The floors are just lovely on both the main and upper level, which houses two bedrooms.

Yet another fireplace with potential to warm both body and soul.

 

Both bedrooms house larger than expected closets, and two windows for good light.

The second bedroom includes access to the large, windowed, attic/loft space, large enough for office, sleep, or play.

    

The open hayfield surrounding the house offers options for vineyards, pasture, or wildlife spottings.

     

The home, charming from every angle, features tin roof, wood siding, walk-in basement access, storage sheds and more.

 

The stone features in foundation and chimney, as well as cottage windows, porches, and such, are inviting as you explore the property.

Functional, secure storage, as well as a cement pad for another shed, offers potential for a ‘working’ property.

There are so few homes like this remaining. This one has been lovingly maintained, with its special historic log elements intact. It is lacking central heat and a/c, but with three fireplaces in place and large shade trees all around, those seem small obstacles to overcome.

Long road frontage on two sides of the corner lot add to the secluded nature of the homestead, but also enhance its value as vineyard property.

Located in Rappahannock, convenient to the National Park and other amenities, and close to Culpeper for shopping or commuting back to the city by car or train, this property is a must see.
