Unique opportunity to own both a piece of history and true art form.This classic, very private Appalachian two-story log house was built almost entirely of timber off the property. Master log builder and stonemason Charles McRaven completed the in 2006. McRaven is nationally acclaimed for his craft & some of his other noteworthy builds include projects at: Michie Tavern, Monticello & Sam Black Tavern.The house features a bright kitchen, oak flooring throughout, white-washed paneling of pine & maple, doors from historic houses, & McRaven's hand-forged hinges & latches on the handmade front & back doors. The efficient working fireplace is crafted out of natural sandstone. The house has HVAC, its own well, a painted metal roof, double paned windows, & is heavily insulated. The generous five acre property has a cleared space for a garden, a small brook, a spring, 24-foot workshop building & a small log & timber frame storage structure. An additional building site has already been perked, and permitted by the county for a future structure. Many types of wildlife are regular visitors of the cabin. Back deck/hot tub added in 2022. Just 15 miles from Shenandoah National Park.
