Located in the Orange County Hunt's prized territory, this 16.397-acre parcel, comprised of level and gently rolling prime land, is 8 miles to Middleburg/Rt 50 and approximately the same to I-66 in Marshall. The 800-foot gravel driveway is bracketed by woods, giving the property privacy from Five Points Road. The natural beauty of a large pond welcomes you to the parking area and stone wall that dates to the early 1800's with the original section of the home. It was added to the Nineteenth Century, modernized in the Twentieth and renovated in the 1970's, so there are (2) front entrances into the home. Once inside, there is a handsome great room, a cheerful breakfast room nestled in between the kitchen and separate dining room, a main level "study", a large upstairs storage closet, along with 2 bedrooms, and 2 full baths. The home is graced with upgrades that include a tin roof, solid wood flooring throughout, 2 wood-burning fireplaces, and exterior French doors in the great room which also has a beautiful wooden tongue and groove beamed cathedral ceiling. Other upgrades include an exposed log rafter ceiling in the large upstairs bedroom, a walk-in shower in the main level bath, and built-in shelving for books and treasured items in various rooms, adding to this home's character and charm. The main staircase that goes to the second-floor bedrooms and bath is original to the 1803 cottage. A creek meanders through the property that fills the pond before it goes through the marsh and culverts under the road to a large private pond across the way. The outbuilding stores gardening tools for a once industrial -size cutting garden. Decorative bushes and perennials define the living space from the open rear acreage that climbs gently to the highest point. High speed internet is available through High Mountain Farm, LLC in The Plains, Va.
