About This Home

As of October 2022

This gem of Rappahannock County is an adorable cottage on 19+ ac. It is a surprisingly spacious, open plan, 1536 sq ft, 3 BD 2 BA, situated down a long driveway & nestled amongst tall trees w/views of the Blue Ridge Mtns. The sparkling pool & views make it a vacation from cares, whether for full or part-time living. The stone FP is not only functional, but is the centerpiece, making you feel like you’re in a storybook cottage. Wrapped in Hardie-Plank, this house is built to last. It would also make an incredible full or part-time holiday let!

Currently has StarLink & MOFI, w/speeds of up to 250 Mbps/20 Mbps. Reliable INTERNET, VPN/Zoom, streaming, etc, is possible! Combined w/T-Mobile’s 4G LTE Signal Booster you should have strong cell service. Piedmont Broadband is an option.

IAD is 1 hr away!

The 3 yr old whole house GENERAC informs via cell when it activates & 4 purchased 120 gal LPG tanks are ready to power.

The 1 yr old HVAC is a TRANE, 19 SEER, variable spd, 2 zone heat pump w/auto dampers, (controlled w/app & thermostats), Air Scrubber, & new attic ductwork.

RING provides comfort w/video coverage of the ext., remote lock/unlock front door via cell, (surprisingly useful), & occasionally catches entertaining wildlife on camera- viewable via cell.

The KIT has a LG island, Thermador stove, Jenn-Air fridge, Bosch dishwasher, stainless farmhouse sink, & tons of cabinetry.

The open plan LR & DR have spectacular views over the undulating hills & impressive mtns, w/protective UV tint on NW windows.

Three BRs provide plenty of space & ever-changing views. The downstairs BR has E & N windows for morning light, & the BA has been updated w/marble counter, Rohl faucet, Kohler toilet, light fixture, & rain shower. Upstairs, the spacious W BR has views over the hills, mtns & pool. The E BR is used as an office –looking over the woods & winding driveway. The upstairs BA has a new Rohl faucet, med cab & rain shwer head w/hand shwer. A linen closet provides extra storage. The temp-ctrl basement provides storage w/tall cabinets, space for workout equip, etc. There is a LG capacity, front-load Kenmore W&D & pedestal washer for sm loads, & extra stainless steel, side-by-side Whirlpool fridge. The temp-ctrl crawl space has 3 XL hanging shelves for less used items.

The shimmering pool, w/stone coping, looks naturally formed & provides refreshing entmt & relaxation. The custom LOOP LOC cover is 1 yr old. You can lounge & take in bird-song, while sun-bathing or under the umbrella. The LG deck looks down to the pool & out to the hills & mtns – perfect for coffee, al fresco meal, or glass of wine.

You’ll relish the drive up Castle Mountain Rd as you decompress &, as you pull down the driveway & the trees finally reveal this private salt box cottage & far-reaching views beyond, you’ll feel excitement, appreciation, & peace in equal measure. Owners are being relocated to UK, or they would never sell! This is a truly magical place rarely come across, now updated w/tons of mod cons. You could benefit from the work so lovingly put into it. Escape to the country in Castleton!
