Welcome to Shangri-La! You have finally found a distinctive one of a kind home on 5.23 lush acres. You will search far and wide to find another home like this one. It is surrounded by Large Equestrian Farms and The Blue Ridge Fox Hunt. Or, if you'd just like to have some chickens, a goat or two or perhaps an Emu, there are no restrictions here. From the minute you walk down the garden path to the sumptuous front porch, you will feel a sense of peace come over you as you hear the cascading water in The Koi Pond. Imagine yourself unwinding on this porch every day. Sunrises and sunsets don'/t get any better than from here. The full upper and lower porches bring the outdoors inside. Two of the upper level bedrooms have doors to the upper porch and on a cool night, with the door or windows open, you will hear the rushing water from the ponds. The system that keeps the ponds beautifully clear is so simple to maintain. Nothing much to do here. The Lily pads are established and bloom through out the spring and summer. You'll never want to leave. There are large front and rear fenced areas for children, dogs and even chickens. Beyond the yard are lush fields to build a barn, plant some grapes for a small vineyard or have a field full of wildflowers. 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 and the Historical City of Winchester, which was surveyed by George Washington and has a modern and bustling historic Old Towne. It is only 15 minutes away. Clarke County has very strict zoning, not much will change in the future. Here, you will find a safe haven from the hustle and bustle of city life and can get to N. V. and Dulles Airport in about 40 minutes. The over 4,000 square foot Home itself has been designed with many architectural details. Recent improvements are the 50 year shingle roof less than 2 years old and under warranty for 50 years, recent bathroom up-dates, and a recent replacement of the HVAC system. There are formal moldings, Dental Moldings and Bull's Eye Finial's in the corners of the 9 ft. ceilings on the main level. The main level has hardwood floors throughout. When you enter the home into the formal center hallway, there is a large formal dining room with crown molding and wainscoting on one side and the formal living room on the other. At the end of the hall you will find a contemporary open floor plan with a large kitchen and Family Room. The kitchen has 42" cherry cabinets with Corian counters and a large Island. The Pantry is as large as a room with lots of built-in shelving. The Appliances are less than 2 years old. For everyday dining, there is a large breakfast nook that overlooks the back deck and gardens beyond. There is a full finished lower level with a walk out to the level side yard. It has a nice room, currently used as a guest room. However, it does not have an egress window. There is a newer full bath, Recreation room and other areas to have an office and perhaps an exercise room. The Upper Level has a sumptuous Primary Bedroom with access to the upper balcony and there is an exceptional Primary Bathroom. The second bedroom also has private access to the balcony as well. Two of bedrooms share a comfortably sized bathroom that features custom tilework. There is nothing lacking in this special home.

You can even feel like a child again if your children will let you climb up to the wonderful tree house to read a book. Come visit today. You will realize what the word "Home" means.
