Description

Surrounded by Large Equestrian Farms and The Blue Ridge Hunt, you'll find this very special Southern Styled Home with upper and lower front porches on 5.23 acres. The Garden of Eden can be found in Clarke County Va. I have rarely seen a home with formal gardens like the ones found here.. There is lots of privacy as well as open and lush fields just perfect for any of your four legged friends. While sitting on one of the large full front porches, you'll be able to see a rolling front meadow and stocked Koi pond almost as large as a small swimming pool. With special filters and state of the art mechanicals, the pond is easy to take care of and well worth the effort. You can hear the cascading water flowing over The Volcanic rocks and into the pond. Sit by it and watch every size and colored Koi Fish come to the surface. The Lily pads are established and bloom through out the spring and summer. You'll never want to leave. There are large fenced areas for children, dogs and even chickens. There are no restrictions here. Even though this property is very private, it is close to local historical places, DC, Northern Va., Wineries, Breweries, The Appalachian Trail and The Shenandoah River. You can find something to enjoy everyday. The Historical City of Winchester, which was surveyed by George Washington, has many cultural centers, museums and a vibrant "Olde Towne" full of every type of restaurant and boutique. It is only 15 minutes away. Clarke County is a one of a kind place to live. With its strict zoning, not much will change in the future. Here, you will find a safe haven from the hussle and bustle of city life and, you can get to N.V. and Dulles Airport in about 40 minutes.
