Historic Shenandoah Valley Estate
Beautiful 5.8-acre Augusta County property in the historic Shenandoah Valley. The grand Massanutten ridge is visible on the horizon with the majestic Blue Ridge range nearby. Drive down the private, shaded driveway, once a part of the antebellum road used by General Stonewall Jackson, and experience the tranquility of this peaceful location. The spacious 3800 sq. ft. 1860s-era home possesses historic charm (high ceilings with crown moulding, porches, interior wooden shutters, hardwood floors) as well as modern conveniences (air conditioning, updated kitchen, jetted tub, built-in shelves and closets).
The front entryway divides into two sitting rooms with built-in cabinetry, a fireplace, and a half bath. An added lower-level wing—with potential as an in-law suite—contains a bedroom, full bath with whirlpool and shower, 13’ x 10’ dressing room, office and garden/mud room. Upstairs you’ll find more solid hardwood floors, 3 bedrooms and 1½ baths with exquisite views of your fields, forest, and the mountains. Few Shenandoah properties can rival this attractive home for its splendid locale and dramatic vistas. Outbuildings include a large barn ideal for horses or livestock, an attached floored workshop, a potting shed, and a kennel. The rear entry of the house connects with a terraced garden area complete with a small pond and arbors.
In a partially wooded 4.6-acre lot adjoining the main property is a modern garage with electricity, water, a storage loft, and concrete floor to accommodate up to four vehicles. The garage is unique for its large antique windows allowing for natural illumination, making it equally ideal as an art studio or hobby shop. This lot is listed separately and may be purchased by the buyer of the main lot.
This unique property was featured in Southern Living magazine in 1995. It is in easy driving distance to both Harrisonburg and Staunton, the nearby Shenandoah regional airport, Civil War battlefields, wineries, and Skyline Drive.
ADDITIONAL 4.6 ACRES OTHER SIDE OF DRIVE IMPROVED BY GARAGE IS $79,000.
