OVERVIEW

Long Valley Country Estate is distinguished by its unique blend of highly desirable characteristics that are difficult to find together in one property and rarely available for purchase. The modern country style home is surrounded by ninety-five acres blessed with incredibly abundant natural resources, a wealth of water, thriving wildlife, and both mountain and valley habitats. Long Valley features a stunningly diverse and balanced landscape that is wild and scenic, yet accessible and usable. The property offers immediate enjoyment and is ready for a smooth transition to the next legacy of ownership.

Exceptional 95-acre country property with spacious 2-story, 4-bedroom contemporary home with 2-bedroom apartment, attached 3-car garage. Tranquil views, rolling pastures, mixed hardwoods and year-round creek.

This unique property, once a dairy farm, has been in the same family for more than 3 centuries. The spacious home, built in 1997, incorporates attractive stone, tile and woodwork. Features include beautiful covered front and back porches with tile flooring, a handsome great room with floor-to-ceiling windows and plenty of natural light, a kitchen with a large eat-at island, an office/den, 4 carpeted bedrooms, and an enclosed tiled breezeway leading to two sizeable garages with an upstairs 2-bedroom apartment.

A winding country road leads to the property, fronted by split rail fencing and two stone pillars with lights. Set in a yard with majestic old-growth hardwoods, this picturesque home exudes curb appeal. A sidewalk leads to the columned front porch, with tile flooring, plenty of room for rockers and an impressive view overlooking the yard and quiet country lane.

A two-story entry hall with multicolor slate flooring opens to the carpeted great room, which has a large, eye-catching natural stone chimney, a woodstove and five floor-to-ceiling windows. This room flows seamlessly into the carpeted dining area, which has a bay window, and the kitchen, with tile flooring. The spacious kitchen has an island that comfortably seats five and incorporates a Frigidaire electric range. Other appliances include a Whirlpool side-by-side refrigerator-freezer, a Whirlpool dishwasher and a GE microwave. The cabinets are oak and the counters laminate, with a double porcelain sink. The adjacent walk-in pantry has built-in shelving. The kitchen also has a breakfast nook, which along with the island seating and dining area offer plenty of options for casual meals, snacking and more formal occasions.

The kitchen opens to one of the home's most exceptional features, its covered back porch. This large, welcoming space has tile flooring and is roomy enough for outdoor dining and entertaining, and it has even hosted family reunions. The porch offers spectacular panoramic views of the farm and adjacent orchard, with apple, peach and pear trees.

The home's main level also includes a carpeted den/home office, a laundry room with Roper appliances, shelving and a utility sink, a full bath with a shower-tub and a vanity with solid surface counter, and an enclosed breezeway leading to the garages and the front and back porches. The bath, laundry and breezeway all feature maintenance-free tile flooring. The breezeway includes a gun safe that conveys with the property.

A whole-house vacuum system serves both levels.

The upper-level bedrooms are accessed by a winding oak staircase in the entryway, which wraps artfully around the stone chimney and adds visual appeal to the soaring two-story foyer.

The entire upper level is carpeted, with the exception of the tiled bathrooms. The hallway leads past a natural stone wall, actually the back of the chimney, to the primary bedroom suite, where the same chimney offers the potential for a woodstove in the bedroom, if desired. The primary bedroom includes two small closets with shelving, and a much larger carpeted walk-in closet just inside the bathroom entry. This bath features a shower-tub and an oak vanity with a solid surface countertop with two sinks. Three other bedrooms are just down the hall, and they share a hallway bath with an oval soaking tub and shower, and an oak vanity with a solid surface counter.

The garage apartment is accessed via the breezeway or the upstairs hallway. This private space includes a carpeted living room, a tiled kitchenette with an RCA refrigerator and a GE electric range, a pantry, two carpeted bedrooms and a bath with a shower.

The windows in this well-built home feature attractive latticework, but the lattices are easily removeable. Interestingly, the wood for the baseboards and trim was milled and finished on site. All the interior doors are solid wood, with the exception of several that are louvered.

The attached double garage and single garage are noteworthy not only for their generous size, but also for the fact that both are served by a commercial air compressor housed in the attached workshop. The attached but separate workshop is located between the two garages, and has shelving units and includes a half-bath, handy for washing up after farm work or yard chores.

The home is served by a 50kw whole-house emergency generator.

The 95.02-acre property, bordered by both Raders Valley Road and Fort Donnelly Road, is approximately 60% pastureland and 40% woodland with mixed hardwoods. Culvertson Creek runs through the property year-round. The orchard/garden area is fenced. This former dairy hasn't been a working farm in recent years, but it includes a barn in need of some repair, with stalls and a hayloft, and two cinderblock buildings that once served as the dairy's milking parlor and milk storage area. These structures offer the potential to return the property to use as a farm, and they are just a short stroll from the house.

The community of Williamsburg is nearby, and Lewisburg, the seat of Greenbrier County, is 25 minutes away. Often described as an ideal small town, Lewisburg offers fine dining, boutique shops, galleries, a golf course, an 8-screen cinema and a lively arts sc
