River Rock Camp beckons with possibilities. This 8.6 acre property was once a a favorite family retreat and jumping-off point for outdoor adventures. Now the kids are grown and it is time for someone new to make memories here. River Rock Camp was built circa 1940 using native stone, blending with that found in Quaker Run flowing right alongside the home. The one-room cabin is being sold “as-is,” but with a little sprucing up should have many years of life left in it. This cozy cabin has an open floor plan with a wood stove in the large living area. The dining area, with its wall of windows, looks out over the stream and into the woods beyond. Quaker Run can be heard from inside as it rushes, splashing, over the river rocks.
The property’s 8.6 acres include an open meadow surrounding the house and garage and leading right up to the edge of Quaker Run. Walk across the shallows of the run and the balance of the property is a surprising hill with gorgeous winter views from the top. The woods are filled with ferns and hold secrets for the intrepid explorer to discover. The top of the hill would be an amazing spot for a hidden tree house.
Quaker Run Road is a quiet country lane that goes into Shenandoah National Park and the Rapidan Wildlife Management Area. Recreational opportunities are almost limitless with miles of hiking and riding trails, great trout streams, and acres of camping and hunting. The Robinson River, a very popular trout stream, is just down the road in the other direction. Even a bike ride or a stroll on Quaker Run Road itself is wonderful with its gorgeous views and historic farms.
River Rock Camp is just 8.5 miles from the Town of Madison, with necessities like grocery shopping, banks, etc., and just 18.5 miles from Sperryville. The surrounding area boasts multiple wineries, a multitude of antique stores, many restaurants and some great farmer’s markets. Located only about two hours from Washington, DC, River Rock Camp is an easy weekend getaway.
