Nestled on 3.7 private acres with direct frontage on the beautiful North Fork of the Shenandoah River, this spacious colonial-style home offers an incredible combination of privacy, breathtaking mountain views, and one of the area’s most sought-after amenities, your own private concrete boat ramp leading directly into the river.
Whether you’re planning a family vacation, a couples’ retreat, a fishing trip, or a weekend reconnecting with friends, you’ll find yourself slowing down the moment you arrive.
Wake Up to Mountain & River Views
Pour a fresh cup of coffee and step outside as the morning fog drifts across the river while the surrounding Blue Ridge Mountains begin to glow with the sunrise.
This is the kind of place where mornings are quiet, afternoons are adventurous, and evenings are unforgettable.
The expansive yard gives everyone room to spread out while still feeling connected, making it perfect for:

As the sun sets behind the mountains, the property transforms into something truly special.
Light the fire, roast marshmallows, tell stories beneath a sky full of stars, and enjoy the peaceful sounds of the river just steps away.
