508 Happy Valley Road , Orkney Springs, VA 22845(Shenandoah County)

PRICE REDUCED Stoney Meadow is truly a one of a kind property for all its character and location. Situated only a few minutes southwest of Bryce Resort and just a short drive from the village of Orkney Springs.  You can enjoy golf, skiing, and many other amenities while at the four-season Bryce Resort. Great food and spirits can also be taken in at the newly renovated lodge, restaurant, and bar at the resort.  Bryce Resort can accommodate those traveling from afar as well as seeing that the resort has its own private landing strip for small planes.  In the summer months, there is a soft-serve ice cream shop on-site at the resort too. Lake Laura is also part of Bryce Resort and the boat launch for the lake is just down Happy Valley Road from the Stoney Meadow property.  Fishing, canoeing, and a beach for swimming can all be enjoyed while at Lake Laura. The quaint village of Orkney Springs is home to the Shrine Mont Retreat and Conference Center.  The town hosts a variety of events including summer camps and the Shenandoah Valley Music Festival which is held in an outdoor amphitheater. Additionally, there are several award-winning wineries nearby. Stoney Meadow is a paradise for those who enjoy the outdoors and it would make an ideal family getaway or hunting camp.  Stony Creek gets its start just a couple of miles from the property, runs over 2,000 feet through this parcel and is home to native brook trout.  There are 2 ponds on the property and an 8-pound bass was caught and released in the larger pond.  This tract also has over 3,000 feet of the seasonal Rinker Run meandering through it. Hunting opportunities abound on the property with 7+/- acres of established food plots.  Last Fall 7 deer, 1 bear and 1 turkey were harvested on this parcel.  Four metal ladder stands are in place and will convey with the sale.  Internal roads and trails allow for easy access to most of the property. The trails total approximately 2 miles and could be used for ATV riding, hiking, or horseback riding.  There are numerous fields available for additional food plots, camping, or field games.  Beautiful views of the property itself and the surrounding area can be enjoyed from many locations throughout this tract.  You can sight in your hunting rifles at the shooting range with a comfortable shooting bench in place. The house is approximately 160 years old and built of sturdy, hand hued pine.  It was structurally renovated sometime in the 1950s and has running water, electricity, telephone line and a satellite dish for television.  The 50" wide fireplace is quite warming in the winter.  There are 3 bedrooms plus an additional double bed in the landing hall plus a bathroom with a shower.  The cabin has a full basement with the concrete floor as well as an additional fireplace and unattached wood stove.  The front porch rockers will lull you into a peaceful state of mind. The 38' x 45' barn is large enough to store a boat and/or equipment.  The lower portion has stalls that were once used for horses.  There is an established 35' x 150' garden plot with a solar fence that has been tended for many years.
