Property Description
Located less than 5 miles from the entrance to the scenic Skyline Drive and the many restaurants, shops, community events and conveniences of the town of Front Royal, this 2 bedroom, 1 bath cottage with carport, HP/CA, 2 woodstoves offers 4 beautiful adjoining lots (taxed separately and totaling 2.48 acres) of which each lot fronts on the beautiful Shenandoah River, offering fantastic opportunities for fishing, swimming, kayaking, and canoeing. You'll find small and large mouth bass, bluegill, and catfish in the waters, making it a great spot for anglers ! The natural beauty of the area is highlighted by its abundance of wildlife, including eagles, osprey hawks, kingfishers, blue herons, and wild turkeys, deer and other forest animals which frequent the property and add to the serene atmosphere. The seller frequently had camping guests visit to share in the enjoyment of the property so he had (1) 220 electrical service with 200 extension plug installed on one tree (see photos) -- (2) 60 amp electrical service with a 110 extension plug for a camper, cell phone, and/or appliances etc. near the outdoor hand water pump spigot --another (3) an electrical outlet on the covered picnic area pavilion. There is also a trailer that guests slept in but it is not, and cannot be, hooked up to the water at the cistern or the septic.
One of the noteworthy features of this property is the massive 30 ft x42 ft shop/garage that can house 4+ cars. The shop/garage offers a lift, a woodstove and 220/200 amp service for auto mechanic enthusiasts who like to work on and/or store, automobiles. Another noteworthy feature of this property is the water agreement included in the Bright MLS documents. This agreement grants the owner to have free potable drinking water to be delivered to the cistern of the cottage for life —an incredibly valuable asset that adds long-term appeal. The seller has recently removed the old carpeting from the home to prepare it for sale so the flooring is currently concrete when entering the house. This gives you the opportunity to customize the space to your tastes and needs. Although the property is in a more rural setting, internet access is available via T-Mobile or AT&T internet hotspots, ensuring that you stay connected. For television entertainment, satellite TV is offered through Dish Network or Direct TV, allowing for a full range of viewing options. Seller had new HP/CA installed in the house in 2018 - mini-split heat/air unit in front bedroom needs repair. Seller believes that the septic is a conventional, 3 bedroom, septic system but this is to be confirmed in writing by the Warren County Health Dept. Note that the seller is selling the house "AS IS" - therefore, all inspections, improvements and repairs that a buyer desires will be the responsibility of the buyer. The house and other structures on the property are located within a floodplain and prospective buyers should be aware of potential flood risks. The seller has deeply cherished living year round at this unique riverfront property for many years, experiencing the best of both worlds—privacy and peacefulness, alongside the joys of working in the spacious shop/garage and enjoying the natural beauty surrounding the home. Over the years, this property has been a sanctuary where the seller has shared countless memories with family and friends, appreciating the wildlife, serenity, and the enjoyment of having the Shenandoah River just outside his door. Now, as the seller enters a new chapter in life, he's ready to pass on this special place to someone who will appreciate its quiet charm and the outdoor lifestyle it offers.
