Nestled on a ridgeline with expansive mountain views, Tranquility Base is the perfect country get away. The nearly 8 acre property, features a 3 bedroom craftsman style home, a 1 bedroom guest cottage, mature forests and over 300’ of river frontage on the Covington River. You are sure to be enchanted by the year round mountain sunsets that are visible from any of the five decks, dining room, primary bedroom, guest bedroom, solarium and hot tub…nothing but nature between you and the incredible natural vista.

Simply put, the home is perfectly sited on the property and thoughtfully designed to flow from the natural beauty of the landscape to the impeccably designed home. A slate pathway gently curves from the circular drive through mature landscaping until you arrive at the front door which opens to another world of beauty.

With 9’ ceilings, 3” oak floors and cherry/maple built in cabinetry throughout the main level, the home has a naturally warm feel. The main floor features an open floor plan seamlessly flowing from the gourmet kitchen to the living room, complete with gas fireplace, to the fabulous dining room and is perfect for one level living. A screened porch, perfect for enjoying your morning coffee or an evening cocktail, sits on one side of the dining room while the aptly named “sunset deck” stretches along the other side. Separated by a long hallway from the main entertaining area, the primary suite envelopes the entire northern side of the home. The main level is completed with an office which could be used as an additional bedroom, and the mud/laundry room that opens to the oversized 2-car garage. Perhaps the best feature is that virtually the entire rear of the home is all windows to allow in the mountain views and the 12 months of amazing sunsets you are sure to enjoy.

The upper level features a large bedroom replete with en-suite bath as well as a private sitting room. The lower level features a family room with a wood stove, another bedroom, a home gym and a solarium (which makes another excellent office).
The area around the home is nicely fenced off and features an amazing outdoor fireplace just calling out for a friendly gathering of friends and neighbors.
A lovely one-bedroom cottage offers a retreat for the owners, extended family or visitors, just a short walk from the main house. Sunlight streams through the cottage's numerous windows, providing views of its own expertly landscaped garden. Two additional garage spaces under the cottage provide room for extra vehicles, tools or projects.
A winding trail gently leads through the woods to the sun-dappled Covington River. Make sure you take a moment to stop at the overlook about ½ way down and just enjoy the sounds of nature and the babble of the water.
Despite its perfect privacy, the neighbors on the aptly named Grand View Road form a vibrant community and you are just minutes from the towns of “Little” Washington and Sperryville. The Shenandoah National Park with its miles of trails, waterfalls and scenic vistas are only minutes away. In addition to the SNP, Rappahannock features a bounty of art galleries, orchard & farms, wineries, breweries & a distillery as well as dining from casual to fine (everything is available from a simple burger, wood fired pizza to Michelin 3 star meal).
