Walkers Creek Road , Middlebrook, VA 24459(Rockbridge County)

Located in northern Rockbridge County, this exceptionally beautiful 171 acre property includes a clapboard farmhouse c.1850 which has been lovingly restored and renovated by the current owners. The goal of the restoration was to preserve the classic Virginia farmhouse aesthetic, while incorporating features and amenities expected for comfort and convenience in todays modern lifestyle. To this end, original elements such as heart-pine floors, trim and wainscoting were salvaged and resurfaced. At the same time, all mechanical systems were either installed or updated and improved, and kitchens and baths were upgraded to meet modern expectations of functionality and elegance. Extensive custom millwork throughout was intended to replicate the style and quality of the original nineteenth century home. The main house includes 2,750 finished square feet and includes 3 bedrooms and 3 full baths. Immediately behind the house is a 2-story smokehouse that has been converted into absolutely charming post and beam finished space. With 2 rooms and a full bath, it would be ideal as either a home office or guest quarters. The yard has been carefully and extensively landscaped with shrubs and trees, as well as stone paths and walls. Nearby is a large garage/barn, with a workroom area, 3 open bays, 2 open stalls, and enclosed storage areas. The 171 acres is approximately 75% open, and includes fenced paddocks with run-in sheds, good bottomland hay fields, and excellent upland grazing. The wooded areas offer fabulous hunting and hiking opportunities. The property is platted in 3 separate parcels, and there are dramatic building sites available with long-range views down the Walkers Creek valley. With a fully restored older home, beautiful setting and views, and productive land, this is the quintessential Shenandoah Valley farm property.
