Tucked deep into 50 pristine, wooded acres that directly border the Shenandoah National Park, this extraordinary 3-bedroom, 2-bath retreat blends 19th-century Appalachian history with hints of the clean, light-filled elegance of Frank Lloyd Wright’s organic modernism. Originally an 1800s hand-hewn log cabin, the home has been rustically updated with generous fenestration that invites the forest inside while casting nighttime interiors aglow like a lantern among the trees. This is a property that lives and breathes with nature. Abundant natural springs, cleared hiking trails and terraced stone gardens—lush and lovingly manicured—cascade down the mountain slope, bordered by ancient, dry-stacked stone walls that have stood for generations. A clear, manageable pond reflects the towering hardwoods, while seasonal springs and filtered mountain light nourish a rich understory of mountain laurel, ferns, and rare lady slippers. Inside, rustic timbers and original log walls meet warm modern finishes, creating a serene and grounded living space designed for both comfort and contemplation. Thoughtfully placed windows frame sweeping views of forest, sky, and gardens at every turn. Whether you're seeking quiet solitude, a writer’s or artist’s haven, or a place to gather and share the natural abundance of Virginia’s mountains, this property offers timeless beauty, absolute privacy, and direct access to thousands of protected acres just beyond your doorstep.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
