About This Home
1857 Mary’s Shady Lane | 5 Acres of Freedom | Homesteader’s Haven Minutes from Town
If you’ve been dreaming of chickens in the yard, veggies in the garden, and a life rooted in fresh air and freedom—this is the place. Welcome to 1857 Mary’s Shady Lane, where the homestead lifestyle begins without giving up convenience.
Set on 5 beautiful acres just two minutes from the heart of Front Royal (and without a single winding mountain road!), this property gives you space to grow—literally and figuratively. Raise animals, plant fruit trees, have that greenhouse or barn you’ve been dreaming about for years. The land is level, open, and full of potential.
Inside, the home offers 3 bedrooms and 2 full baths all on the main level, including a cozy sunken living room and two versatile bonus rooms—perfect for a playroom, hobby space, or home office. The full basement has already been framed, just waiting for your finishing touches.
With the Shenandoah River nearby and the Blue Ridge Mountains as your weekend playground, this is more than a home—it’s a lifestyle. Morning coffee on the porch, fresh eggs from the coop, starlit nights by a fire pit... it’s all possible here.
Bring your dreams and let them take root. This is the homestead you’ve been waiting for.
