Annie’s Hill graces the crest of a small Piedmont foothill at the base of the Blue Ridge Mountains. The classic style and wrap-around porch give it true Southern grace befitting its picturesque setting. Located at the very end of Annie’s Lane, the home sits in peaceful privacy surrounded by large farms. The paved driveway meanders through woods and past rock outcroppings to reach a pleasant knoll with lawns, landscaping, and a seasonal view of nearby ridges and the Shenandoah National Park.
The home, built in 2007, features a large open kitchen and dining area with French doors that open onto the expansive porch. The kitchen has hand-painted cabinets, granite counters, a tile backsplash, and stainless steel appliances. The living room encompasses the other side of the home and has French doors that can open out onto a future deck. A stone hearth with a wood mantel artfully sets off a clever electric fireplace complete with a blower to radiate heat into the room for cozy winter evenings. A half bath, located between the kitchen and the living room, completes the main level of the home.
The upper level is comprised of the master suite and two additional bedrooms. The master suite includes a walk-in closet and a full bath. The large windows look out over the far ridges and the neighboring farm pasture. The other two bedrooms each have lovely views, a walk-in closet, and share a hall bath.
The walk-out English basement is fully finished and provides a multitude of options. It is currently being used as a second master bedroom and is complete with a walk-in closet and a full bath. A bonus room on the other side makes a great overflow sleeping space, while the remaining area is currently used as a home office for two. French doors lead out to the patio and pool deck beyond.
Annie’s Hill encompasses five acres of woods with meandering paths and impressive rock outcroppings. There are seasonal views of the Blue Ridge Mountains that could be opened up with some strategic clearing. Opening the views could be accomplished without losing the serene privacy that the property enjoys.
Near Sperryville and “little” Washington, and convenient to Warrenton and Culpeper, this property is ideally situated for full-time residents or weekenders alike. Located a mile off four-lane, divided Lee Highway (Rt. 211), less than two hours from Washington, DC, and about an hour from Charlottesville, the property is within an easy driving distance for weekend getaways.
Rappahannock and surrounding counties offer endless recreational possibilities. Shenandoah National Park and Old Rag Mountain are nearby. The park is home to scenic Skyline Drive with its overlooks as well as many miles of trails. There are wineries and breweries, great restaurants and cafes, antique stores, farms and orchards, and much more. Looking for cultural activities? Visit one of the many art galleries, attend a play or a concert at one of the theaters, or visit the Rappahannock Historical Society’s museum.
