About This Home

As of August 2021

This is the best Shenandoah River front property in the region. Welcome to your private retreat. Gracious home with over 5,600 finished square feet, over 400’ river frontage with a boat ramp for canoes, kayaks, swimming, and inner tubes for fishing and floating on the ancient Shenandoah River. The covered porch welcomes you into the formal living room with oak floors, vaulted ceiling, balcony and the most amazing stone fireplace with hand carved oak mantel. It is elegant and rustic, an ideal blend of serenity and adventure. Bring your spirit, mind, even your heartbeat to this river sanctuary. Beautifully maintained home with exceptional kitchen, new tile floor, upgraded appliances, RO water filter system, HW cherry cabinets, and more. Newer roof too!
Nearly 10 acres on the river with no HOA. Extensive hardscape with selected native flowers and landscaping on the teared terrace gardens. Fishing and firepit for recreation by the river with freshwater spigot and electricity. Wild berries are now at their peak and pawpaw fruit are coming later in the summer.
Grand living on the Shenandoah River, “Daughter of the Stars” is the native American translation. The home is sun kissed and shady, ideal for large or intimate gatherings. Covered outdoor decks with views of river from all three levels. Spacious bedrooms on every floor allow for privacy with generous closet space in every room. The main floor owner’s suite has a private sitting/dressing room, bath with separate soaking tub and shower, private WC, large closet, views of the river and back yard, and a private door to canopied deck, ideal for your morning coffee. Experience the day from the top floor landing which opens through French doors to the uppermost balcony and expansive views of native foxes, turkeys, deer and more, all at your private riverfront property. The two bedrooms on this level are separated by the landing and share a full bathroom. The lower level includes a 4th large bedroom in an apartment with full eat in kitchen, bath, on level walkout to the patio and back yard, perfect for an au pair or in law suite. This is a wine connoisseur’s dream with wine cellar, tasting bar and theatre room. See more in the photos.
Park in one of the 4 garage spaces, two attached and two detached with workshop. The room above the oversized detached garage/workshop is ready to double as an office, studio, or sleeping room (it is well lit, insulated and has nice flooring).
