Property Description
Welcome to Fern Hill in Calmes Neck, located in beautiful Clarke County VA! This breathtaking and very private 22+ acre family compound with 329+ feet of river green on the Shenandoah can be used as a retreat for special gatherings if not for year-round living. Where subtle elegance meets nature, the main structure was constructed in 1983. Offering 2,436+ finished square feet this beauty has endured numerous upgrades since it's current ownership in 2016. This two-story dream home is fully encapsulated with cedar siding and a uniquely designed newer cedar shake roof (also replaced by current owner) with a skylight across the entire ridge. Upon entry, you are greeted by a stunning 2-story hand selected stone wall which also services two self-ventilating wood-burning fireplaces, one on each level. The openness and warmth of yellow pine flooring and freshly painted walls throughout creates a sense of serenity that makes you wish you never had to leave. A recently renovated kitchen, a place to sit down and break bread together, a gathering room with views of the beautiful stone wall which houses a wood burning fireplace, and a bedroom and full bathroom all located on the main level. The stairs leading to the lower level are so well designed that you don't even notice they are stairs. Landing on an all-American red & white checkered floor you find a bedroom on each end of the house, a full bathroom, the laundry room, and a centrally located family room with a beautiful stone wall housing another fireplace. The back and sides of the home have floor-to-ceiling windows on each level inviting much natural light inside throughout the day. A whole house water filtration system and a whole-house generator were also added by current owner. Each level has two doors on either end of the home with access to the two-tiered Trex decking and lower-level patio, which lead to a fenced-in area encompassing a quaint back yard separating from the open forest for a contained pet area, gardening and relaxation. A small gardening shed is available to store your tools and gardening equipment. A sprinkler system is installed in the fenced-in garden area along the front of the home. The home has a hard-wired security system and security camera's.
Nestled in the woods you will find the “Tree House.” A thoughtfully constructed cottage in 2019. Follow the deck into a screened-in sitting porch which leads you to the main level entrance where you find a gathering area, kitchenette, bathroom, bedroom and loft space for extra sleeping area. Outside, a gravel tiered pathway leads you to the lower level where you will find a small deck, an entrance to a private studio with a storage room/closet and a full bathroom. Additionally, you'll find a gravel ATV path that takes you straight to its very own covered parking pad underneath the porch. A side door leads you into the lower-level studio. By design, the Tree House creates a true feel of solitude. The Tree House also has it's own designated septic system.
Also constructed in 2019 is “The Barn.” The Barn has been utilized as a game room but could also serve as a workshop or a garage to store your vehicle, as the concrete floor and six windows allows for multi-use. A 300-amp RV hookup is installed. A walking path and drivable logging road lead you to the river green for water activities or to gather around the fire pit. Enjoy Take a hike around the perimeter and explore life in the wild. This property is in conservation as is the property across the river. Land in conservation plays a crucial role in maintaining ecological integrity and supporting human well-being. Blue Bird Lane is 3 miles from Mt. Carmel Rd in the gated community of Calmes Neck. 43 minutes from Purcellville, 30 minutes to Berryville, 1.5 hour drive from Washington DC. Schedule your tour before it's gone!
