645 Woodward Road

645 Woodward Road

Sperryville $489,000

Shenandoah National Park boundary, great views and a strong stream are the makings of a prized property in Rappahannock County and 645 Woodward Road has all three in spades.  But there is more … it also has good investment potential, heavy timber value, a unique cabin and an ideal location near Sperryville.  If you are looking for a place in Rappahannock County for outdoor recreation, hunting, hiking and traipsing through the woods, you must explore this property.

The property is made up of two separate lots; one is 45.7 acres and the other is 8.9 acres for a total of 53.6 acres.  It has long frontage on Woodward Road, a picturesque country lane that winds through the mountains above Sperryville.  Along the road there is a 4 – 5 acre park-like meadow ringed by a rail fence and old stonewalls.  A strong mountain stream bisects the meadow as it cascades down the eastern flank of Hazel Mountain.  Along the upper reaches of the stream, in a steep vale a hidden microclimate is flush with ferns, hemlocks and pines.

From the meadow, the land rises up Hazel Mountain through a mature forest of towering poplars and oaks.  This mountainside is laced by hiking trails that traverse the property to its almost ½ mile boundary with the Shenandoah National Park.  From the higher elevations (approximately 1,250 ft above sea level) there are outstanding views of the Piedmont to the east and Hazel Mountain and the Shenandoah National Park to the west.    With its location abutting the park, a year round source of water and plenty of forage, this property is the ideal habitat for deer, bear and grouse.

Beginning in the meadow, a stonewall lined driveway leads to the cabin occupying a high open knoll with outstanding views.  The cabin is an unusual collection of rooms that is being sold “as is.”  It includes a large great room with fieldstone fireplace, another living/family room also with a fieldstone fireplace, a galley kitchen and a dining room.  There is one bedroom and two full bathrooms.  With an unusual floor plan and a rambling footprint, the cabin needs imaginative input and clever remodeling.  Although the house needs work, the setting is fantastic.

This property has a great deal of potential but it’s not for everyone.  If you want a pristine place, you probably won’t be happy here but if you want a rustic property that has tons of potential and endless opportunities for enjoyment, check it out.
