Gray Fox is a gem of a country retreat that marries one of the best vistas in Rappahannock with the comfort of one level living in a well built 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom amenity packed home. The 12.8 acre property is nestled at the base of Hickerson Mountain with just enough elevation to capture the fantastic vista to the south.
The grounds around the home are spectacularly charming. The gravel driveway gently meanders past the two barns as it rises towards the house site. A rock wall delineates the western edge of the property and serves as part of the fencing for the western pasture. On the other side of the driveway a 3 board fence delineates the eastern field. As you arrive at the home site, you are greeted by a spray of color from the mature plantings. Be sure to take special note of how the owners have built rock retaining walls around most of the mature trees to enhance their majesty. Another rock wall that runs along the back of the house, delineates the line between the beautifully landscaped yard and the rugged forested beauty of Hickerson Mountain that runs up behind the home.
The home, built in 2005, features an easy floor plan with wide open spaces and the best of one level living. 9’ ceilings, solid wood interior doors and walnut flooring run throughout the house. You enter the home into a foyer that opens directly into the living room. The living room has a convenient gas fireplace to enhance the ambiance. To the left of the living room is an oversized eat-in kitchen replete with granite counters and Yorktown solid wood cabinets. Behind the dining area is a formal dining room though it is currently used as an office. On the other side of the living room are the bedrooms. A generous primary bedroom is tucked in the back corner of the home ensuring uninterrupted privacy for its occupants. Two more bedrooms, both with outstanding southern views, run along the front of the home. The house is completed by an oversized 2 car garage that offers easy access to the kitchen.
Gray Fox is only 19 miles from Warrenton for shopping, entertainment and restaurants. The eclectic village of Sperryville, about 10 miles away, has two breweries, a distillery, yoga studio, restaurants, including 3 Blacksmiths and interesting shopping opportunities. Little Washington, home to the renowned Inn at Little Washington, is about 5 miles from the home.
Rappahannock, Madison and Fauquier counties offer endless recreational possibilities. The Shenandoah National Park with miles of hiking trails and the Skyline Drive, one of the country’s most scenic roadways, is only minutes away. Located about an 60 miles from Washington, DC, the property is the perfect weekend getaway or full time home.
