Property Description
This nearly 2,400 sf remarkably PRIVATE & PEACEFUL four bedroom "treehouse" (with 2 car garage and full unfinished walkout basement offering a potential 1,100+ finished sf) is situated on 5 VIEW-FILLED acres (Shenandoah River and Blue Ridge Mountain views from nearly every window).

This tree-filled property still offers several delightful mossy yard areas (to include a spot with a delightful tree swing) and spectacular sunsets from the 24x12 rear deck (that has extra wide steps that lead to a walkway to the generous parking area off the lovely driveway.
