Perched atop South Branch Mountain with panoramic western views for 50 miles, this is a one of a kind property that has been meticulously thought out and maintained! Upgrades throughout, this Old Virginia Log home is setting on a walk-out basement of Nudura ICF eleven inch (with insulation) concrete walls, with R-50 insulation value, clear span engineered trusses with an 8.5" drop ceiling, industrial carpet tiles, silestone window sills, pine tongue and groove walls and heavy duty Anderson hurricane certified sliding glass doors that open to the western facing patio. The basement also includes a bath and a half, room for 2-3 bedrooms that can be completed prior to closing, a bomb shelter/wine cellar and three huge closets/storage areas. An attached, finished, heated garage with extra storage and a washer and dryer are also part of the basement! The main floor has a huge kitchen with Silestone counters, stainless steel appliances and recessed lighting. This joins the dining area/great room which has a cathedral ceiling. There is hardwood flooring and drywall throughout including the bedrooms. Both bedrooms have master baths and ceramic tile flooring. The master bedroom has a walk-in closet which includes a washer and dryer. The great room is bright and airy from all the windows and doors with views from every window. The wood stove at the far end of great room can heat the entire house, but there is an HVAC that has rarely been needed, if ever. There is a 500 gallon buried propane tank for the on-demand, tankless hot water heater and the kitchen oven/range. Perks are huge Haiku fans, Toto Drake flush toilets, Hunter Douglas blinds on all windows throughout house, Phillips Hue lighting throughout and Ring door/spot cameras on house and barn! The wrap around Timbertech deck has heavy duty laminated beam construction with limited posts and twelve inch center joists and the deck railing is stainless steel cable stiles, so you will never miss a glimpse of a sunset!! Now, let's get to the 72' by 40' metal pole barn that is fully insulated with painted OSB interior walls. The huge wood stove heats the barn fully, even on the coldest days! There is a large commercial sink with on-demand hot water, kitchen cupboards and cabinets with countertop to make this a perfect place for entertaining, receptions, events of any kind. A wedding reception of 150 guests was recently held here with plenty of room to spare. The huge 16' by 56' overhang provides ample space for a rainy day, when you still want to be outside! The barn has T5 HO lighting, two large overhead fans, two huge Miami-Dade certified garage doors with openers and ample parking under roof on the west side for your tractor and toys, plus pallet racking for the approximate ten full cords of wood that is split and stacked, ready for your first winter in the mountains. Also included is a 300 gallon diesel tank with electric pump and fuel gauge. Now, to the land! Flat, recently stoned driveway, a gently sloping ten acres of finish mowed open area cleared to the lower boundary and woods that is a magnet for wildlife night and day. You can enjoy the trails for hiking, biking or with your ATV. This is totally unrestricted! Hunt, target shoot, photo shoot, the possibilities for this property are endless. Views from every window inside and from anyplace you choose outside! You'll never miss a sunset from atop this ridge! Easy access and ten or fifteen minutes from Moorefield, but why would you want to leave?!? However, there is skiing, kayaking, golfing all within an hour! This is a stunning, "take your breath away", remarkable property! Too many upgrades and amenities to mention!
