Beautiful historic 1916 Farmhouse and Country Home in the Blue Ridge Mountains
Beautiful, historic Farmhouse and Country Home (circa 1916) on 45 forested acres at the foot of a tall mountain with a pristine stream that runs in front of the home. Located in Manassas Gap, gateway to the Blue Ridge Mountains and Shenandoah Valley, directly across the valley from historic African Mountain and the Southern Appalachian range. Located in a biodiversity hotspot near many historic landmarks, parks, trails, rivers, farms, country kitchens, and festival locations.
A great place for family and friends to reconnect, relax, and experience the best of nature, history, and country living. Visits by native wildlife on the grounds provide an opportunity to treasure and care for the creation and enjoy it close-up!
Located within 30 minutes of over 100 unique local attractions including rivers, parks, orchards, wineries, historic areas, local shops and boutiques, antique stores, restaurants, wildlife areas, national forests, farm produce, and farm-fresh markets including seasonal pick-your-own fruits, and festivals. A peaceful, quiet, serene, majestic, friendly, safe environment that is easy to reach but feels far away.
A wide range of fruits, vegetables, meats, dairy, eggs, and home cooked goods are available in several nearby locations, along with farm to table restaurants. Seasonal festivals in nearby towns are very active year round.
The home as three floors, three bedrooms, three full bathrooms with showers, three porches, and two large indoor living areas. It has a full sized kitchen that is fully equipped, including a bread maker, crock pot, microwave, oven range, full sized refrigerator, dishes, pots, pans, utensils, and dishwasher. We have extra plates, dishes, and utensils for large families. The kitchen also has a full sized washer and dryer. Our dining area includes a baby high chair. An outdoor Weber grill and picnic table are located outside by the creed.
Bathrooms have vanities, showers, towels, and supplies. The second floor shower has a seating area and shower hose.
Coffee bars on each floor of the house are stocked with coffee, tea, and creamers and supplies. Well water from the tap is purified though a dual water treatment and high density filtration system and tested.
The living areas have beautiful views and accommodate eight people with sofas and comfortable chairs as well as blankets, throws, and electric fireplaces to stay cozy. These areas also have books and toys for children and a wide range of books and games for adults.
Bedrooms have dressers and closets and stunning views. Bedding includes two Queen beds and one Full bed, as well as three extra large twin bed cots with metal bed frames and memory foam mattresses as well as additional single memory foam beds if needed (all with pillows, blankets, and linens). Air conditioning is in all three bedrooms along with floor fans. Sheets and pillow cases are provided as well as comforters and blankets.
A picnic table, Weber charcoal grill, and fire box with Adirondack chairs is located by the creek. Enjoy breakfast or a drink on a wooden bridge over the stream at the opening of the woods.
The front porch on ground level overlooks a stream complete with chairs and side tables for dining. The glassed porch on the second level overlooks the mountain and has a table and chairs for a meal with a sitting area and coffee station. The back porch faces the woods and is open-air.
