About This Home
As of October 2016Have you ever wanted a place all to yourself, hidden by trees, open to the valley field below to enjoy the wildlife? With easy access to the Blue Ridge Pkwy and gorgeous Rt 130, in the midst of the James River Watershed with easy access to the James, Buffalo and Tye Rivers, this is a sportsman's dream. The home is custom built and designed by an architect. The blueprints (on the drafting table in the loft) show 2x4 studs but this home is overbuilt with 2x6 framing. The cedar siding for the natural appeal is vinyl for low maintenance. The design of the house is for ease and comfort, privacy and views. The great room has custom cabinets and shelving with wood burning stove, updated appliances-double oven-brand new granite countertops. Skylights throughout provide natural lighting. The deck off the kitchen is a great nook for coffee/wine break. Formal rooms have custom wood cathedral ceilings showcased by loft. The far side of the field is bordered by a bold stream.
