559 Viewtown Road

Amissville $399,000

 SOLD

This special Rappahannock County retreat is an ideal country hide-a-way with Eastern overtones.  To enter the home you pass through an elevated perennial garden with stone steps, Japanese style Water Garden, Buddha statue and Wisteria arbor.  Ornate double doors open to a light filled open floor plan home with gourmet kitchen and a spacious great room with elevated stone fireplace and soaring ceilings.  The kitchen flows to a large deck with views across the copious gardens and pond beyond.  Also on the first floor there is a master bedroom with luxurious bath and an interesting office nook.  Downstairs there is another bathroom, bedroom, and den/guest room and a good-sized office/media room.

A large garage/studio building that provides storage and workspace on the first floor enhances the property.  The second floor is a terrific studio space, currently being used as a stained glass studio.

The 7.85 acre property features a remarkable amount of diversity.  There are several acres suitable for pasture for a horse or two.  Pockets of woodlands and thickets among the balance of the lot provide excellent cover for a wide range of wildlife and birds.  In between there is a small orchard and plenty of great garden space.  The entire house and studio area is a gardener’s delight with a lovely and innovative selection of flowering trees, shrubs, bulbs and fine flowers.
