Rattlesnake Hollow

No matter how you like to spend your free time, this is the home for you. The 4 bedroom oversized rambler sits in the middle of 41.5 acres and offers perfect privacy to its residents. With two ponds and plenty of small streams, the wild game is quite abundant. If you enjoy working with your hands, a 4 bay detached workshop/garage is perfectly set up for any craftsman. Plus, with a wide open floor plan the home is an entertainers dream.

A wide front porch, stretching the length of the home, greets you as you enter the home. The eastern facing porch is the perfect place to greet the morning with a warm cup of coffee as you watch the abundant wildlife drink from the small pond that is in the front yard. From the porch, you enter into an expansive great room. The great room is neatly delineated in a large kitchen (with a large pantry), a dining area and huge open living room. The living room has soaring ceilings and a gas fireplace that brightly warm the room. From the living room, you can easily access the back deck making entertaining a breeze in this home. Off of the living room area is the formal dining room which has been converted into a billiards room. The great room area is completed with a 1/2 bath making it easy for guests.

The family quarters are quite private. An extra wide hallway leads from the great room to the 3 bedrooms on the northern side of the home. The second and third bedrooms bedrooms are joined by a bath and take up the front portion of the home while the master bedroom, complete with gas fireplace, and master bath, with a large soaking tub as well as a walk in shower, line the back portion of the home. The back deck is also accessible from the master bedroom.

On the other side of the great room is another bedroom suite. Complete with a full bath, and two rooms, this area would make a perfect office suite or could be used for family members that need help, but desire a little more privacy. While the suite is heated and cooled by the main systems, the owner thoughtfully added in a second HVAC system exclusively for this area so guests can control this area separate from the main house. The suite has it’s own exterior access which adds to its usability.

If you are looking for more space the house features a full unfinished basement with plenty of room to expand. The entire home is loaded with features. All of the doors and hallways are extra wide and the house could easily become ADA compliant. The basement features a safe room that is encased on all sides with at least 8″ of concrete. This is the perfect place to store prized possessions or could even be used as a panic room.

In addition to the 2 car attached garage, the home features a huge 4 bay detached garage with extra tall ceilings (over 2,100 sq feet). The garage is a mechanics dream with a car wash stall (with hot water) in the main bay, plenty of room to work and plenty of storage space. Plus, behind the main bays is another office space as well as another full bath. The upstairs of the garage provides plenty of finished storage space. Like the guest suite in the main house the garage has its own heating units. To the left of the garage, the roof line has been extended to create a covered equipment bay in case the 4 bays aren’t enough.

The 41.5 acre property encompasses lower southern and eastern face of Carson Mountain. The property forms a gentle bowl with 2 ponds, several small streams that run down Carson Mountain and eventually run into the Rappahannock River. The land is heavily forested with second growth forest. The abundance of water and forest make this property a haven for wildlife. Old logging trails criss-cross the property making it a natural game highway. Deer, bear, turkey and many other wild game are plentiful. Hunting and hiking opportunities are plentiful. Old hunting stands dot the property as an testament to the productivity of the land.

Despite its perfect privacy, the property is easily accessible and conveniently located. Flint Hill, Virginia is five minutes away; it is 10 minutes to Front Royal and 75 minutes to Dulles Airport. Carson Mountain is convenient to restaurants in Flint Hill, Little Washington, and Sperryville and several wineries are in the neighborhood. It’s only a 20 minute drive to the Shenandoah National Park boundary offering an amazing array of waterfalls, canyons, trails and hikes.

This home is also available as a 91.5 acre parcel.
