Nestled in serene Bluemont, VA, this enchanting 1-bedroom, 1-bath cabin (with detached 1 bed/1 bath studio) offers a unique blend of rustic charm and modern inspiration. Set on 7 acres with soaring trees and your very own mountain spring, the property is a peaceful haven drenched in nature, yet still within the metro area commuting threshold. For outdoor lovers it is truly a “Stones Throw” to the Appalachian Trail and a quick drive to the boat launch at the Shenandoah River. With easy access to Route 7 and Route 50, you're only 25 minutes to the towns of Middleburg and Berryville, making this an ideal retreat with convenient access to amenities. Years ago, the owners of this property envisioned a little piece of paradise that they could carve out of Paris Mountain. Today years of love and dedication poured into the property, spring to life again for lucky new owners. Here, beneath a canopy of beautiful trees, you'll discover their whimsical cabin, and a stunning Frank Lloyd Wright-inspired bunkhouse built by the owner’s own hands. The property even comes with a delightful surprise—a petite pond teeming with a few massive koi and a hearty school of fish, which will convey to the new owners!
Inside the cozy cabin, simplicity blends with rustic elegance. Soaring ceilings with wood beams and rich pine floors create a warm, inviting atmosphere. The full bath and bedroom make this an ideal or year-round residence weekend getaway. A home office easily doubles as a nursery or playroom, and the centrally located wood stove provides warmth and coziness. An abundance of windows ensures that the interior is bathed in natural light.
For your guests, the Frank Lloyd Wright-inspired bunkhouse offers a getaway retreat with a studio bedroom and a full bath. This unique structure features Wright's signature "cornerless window," designed to eliminate visual obstructions and create a seamless connection with the natural surroundings. Wright himself would have been impressed with this delightful creation.
The backyard is an oasis, an award-winning creation that once graced the pages of Garden & Design magazine and won the prestigious Golden Trowel Award in 2005. The garden is a carefully curated mix of perennials, including hostas, ferns, yews, lush grasses and a stunning Japanese Maple. Stone walls and gravel paths blend seamlessly with the natural landscape, creating a harmonious feel. Shady nooks, cool water, and a sunny spot for a tomato garden are all here. It sounds impressive and it is! But amateur or beginner gardeners don't be scared away- the garden was designed and installed surprisingly by an amateur and it is designed to be enjoyed more than toiled over.
The eye-catching metal sculpture in the heart of the rear yard with cascading geometric shapes and year-round color adds a touch of artistry and will remain as a gift from the sellers to the new owners.
Whether you are relaxing on the deck or grilling “pond side” in the gravel patio area flanked by the stone wall, you hear the soothing sounds of native birds, the rustling of animals across the forest floor, and the gentle splash of water from the mountain spring into an earthen pot.
For everyday maintenance there is a “barn/shop” to do woodworking or other garden hobbies with a handy access door for your ride on lawn mower.
This property is more than just a home; it's a lifestyle, a sanctuary, and a piece of art. Henry David Thoreau, famously said in Walden: Or Life in the Woods. "I have learned, that if one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life he has imagined, he will meet with success unexpected in common hours." Who knows what magic life in the woods will bring to you?
