Nestled in the serene hollows of Fauquier County, Virginia, lies a meticulously restored house with a spacious studio, set upon 5 acres of enchanting landscaped grounds. Just 75 minute from downtown Washington D.C., this property offers a perfect retreat for those seeking solace amidst nature's embrace or a promising investment opportunity for discerning buyers. The main house, dating back to circa 1850 and tastefully enhanced over the years, boasts two bedrooms and two bathrooms, complemented by a generous living space seamlessly merging kitchen, dining, and lounge areas. Step out onto one of the two inviting porches to savor your morning coffee amidst the symphony of birdsong or perhaps catch a glimpse of the local wildlife - from Virginia foxes to graceful deer, rabbits, and the occasional owl or hawk perched majestically in the ancient branches of a 200-year-old white oak tree. Recent renovations to the main house, undertaken between 2021 and 2023, include a new metal roof, Bosch electric HVAC system, cozy fireplace insert, and luxurious hickory flooring. The basement now boasts closed-cell insulation, ensuring year-round comfort, while the upstairs bedroom suite has undergone a full transformation. A newly constructed studio building, thoughtfully divided into two sections, presents endless possibilities. The smaller section serves as a tranquil home office complete with a library and bathroom, while the larger portion caters to specialized carpentry work, equipped with 240V outlets at regular intervals. Currently utilized as additional guest quarters, the studio is connected by an east-facing 'dog-trot' porch offering breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape. The property's allure extends beyond its structures, with invasive plants removed to make way for a thriving ecosystem. Red maples line the roadside, while clusters of magnolias, tulip poplars, sweet gum and oaks, river birch, and fragrant crabapples adorn the landscape, creating an idyllic setting for relaxation, inspiration, and creativity alike.
