Cabin in the Sky SOLD

285 Round Hill Road

Boston $549,000

SOLD

Imagine a home in the treetops with perfect privacy and outstanding views and you’ll be thinking of a home like Cabin in the Sky.  Sited on a spine of Grindstone Mountain under an impressive stand of poplars and oaks, the home has long-range views to the southeast and the Blue Ridge and Shenandoah National Park to the west.  The property is ideal for writers, artists and lovers of the outdoors and it is convenient to hiking, fishing and recreational opportunities in the Shenandoah National Park.

The house is a post and beam home featuring richly grained natural beams, heart of pine flooring and extensive use of wood for wainscoting and ceilings in special spots.  The simple lines of the home belie a sophisticated design and attention to detail that creates a truly one of a kind home.

Built in 2000 by one of the area’s premier builders, the home is entered on ground level via a good-sized wrap around deck that becomes a covered porch on the front of the house.  The first floor includes a great room with dining and living areas, complete with a charming and efficient wood stove, a country kitchen, full bath and a bedroom.  The house soars upward to an upstairs with two large loft areas on either end of the home, joined by a dramatic catwalk over the great room.  The downstairs features a great multipurpose room for guests, media or just relaxing to the sights and sounds of nature and a full bath with tiled shower.

The 18.65 acre property also includes a workshop full of natural light and a barn/garage building for cars, equipment, tractors and firewood.  The workshop is designed to compliment the house and it has full electric service and heating.  Currently used as a woodworking shop, it could easily be converted to a guest-house, office or studio.

Needless to say, such a dramatic and private home site requires a well-engineered road to reach the mountaintop.  The drive to the top is quite comfortable because the road sits well on the land and is paved for easy maintenance.
