Looking for a truly special home that embodies the best of living in the Blue Ridge Mountains? Then you must see Old Rag Retreat! Located at the foot of Old Rag Mountain on a beautiful 10 acre lot, this property is a great location for outdoorsy folks. Enjoy wonderful hiking, fishing, biking, horseback riding, cross-country skiing and exploring at your doorstep. It is a hundred yards from the Old Rag Trailhead and directly across the road is the Hughes River, a stocked trout stream. Old Rag Retreat is located in the heart of the Shenandoah National Park and a seemingly endless network of trails radiates from the Old Rag area. Many trails may be used for equestrians. You’ll also find some fine swimming holes in the Hughes for cooling off after a good hike up the mountain.
The centerpiece of the property is an old Virginia farmhouse that has undergone a remarkable transformation. Rustic elements from old buildings, hand-hewn logs, and modern fixtures are combined in a unique interior with an authentic, antique ambience. The farmhouse was totally renovated in 2008 and features 4 Bedrooms, 2.5 Baths and a gourmet kitchen.
