Property Description
Welcome to one of the most unique properties in the Shenandoah Valley. This stunning riverfront retreat in the heart of Shenandoah County feels like a private island, accessible via your own bridge, ensuring unmatched peace and seclusion.
Outdoor enthusiasts will find endless opportunities for adventure, with activities such as hiking, biking, hunting, fishing, kayaking, and canoeing right at your doorstep. Spanning more than 248 acres, this property is nestled in the George Washington National Forest, and boasts 1.3 miles of riverfront along the North Fork of the Shenandoah River.
With 50 acres of open land currently used for haying, and 200 wooded acres featuring miles of hiking, ATV, and horse trails, you have direct access to thousands of acres of national forest hiking trails. The property hosts a wide array of wildlife, including bald eagles, ducks, deer, turkeys, foxes, river otters and many other native animals.
The charming two-story home, once owned by renowned sculptor Felix de Weldon (creator of the Iwo Jima statue at Arlington National Cemetery), features four bedrooms with private baths, a spacious open living area with a striking two-sided wood fireplace, a fully-equiped kitchen, a breakfast nook, and a dining room. Floor-to-ceiling glass and Pella doors seamlessly blend indoor and outdoor living, allowing you to soak in breathtaking 360-degree views that make the surrounding landscape feel like an extension of your home.
Step out to the large front deck, where you can enjoy panoramic views of the river and the pastoral beauty of Shenandoah Valley against the backdrop of the western mountains. From the rear patio, watch the sun come up over the majestic Massanutten Mountain Range, showcasing a picturesque pre-Civil War log barn, lush pastures, a half acre pond stocked with bass and catfish, and the vast George Washington National Forest on the horizon.
The lower level of this exquisite home includes two bedrooms with baths, a cozy living area with a wood stove, a small wine cellar, a utility room, and a two-car garage. A concrete patio connects directly to paths down to the river and up to the mountains, offering the same stunning vistas of the river, valley, and mountains.
Located on a gated private road, viewing this exceptional retreat requires 24-hour notice.
Access is by appointment only and accompanied by the listing agent.
