Spectacular custom-built home set on over 5 private acres with an extraordinary 680 feet of Shenandoah River frontage. A rare opportunity of this caliber comes along once in a lifetime. With three river-rock beaches and direct access for fishing, kayaking, paddleboarding, and rafting, this property embraces the very best of riverfront living. Perched high on a hill, the home captures panoramic views in every direction. The expansive family room features a stone gas fireplace, custom built-ins, and sweeping vistas of the Shenandoah River and Blue Ridge Mountains. The open-concept layout flows into a spacious dining area surrounded by glorious natural scenery. A separate living room offers a wood-burning fireplace and cathedral ceilings, while gleaming hardwood floors enhance much of the main level. The gourmet kitchen is a chef’s dream—complete with soapstone countertops, custom cabinetry, double ovens, a large refrigerator, dishwasher, and an inviting center island ideal for gathering. The home offers 4 generously sized bedrooms, 3 full bathrooms, and 2 half bathrooms. The luxurious primary suite showcases a gas fireplace and breathtaking river views. Its spa-like bath features a claw-foot tub, custom stone-tile shower, and handcrafted dual vanities. All additional bedrooms are well-appointed and enjoy unique views. A dedicated office and separate library provide flexibility and privacy for work, study, or creative pursuits. Outdoor living is exceptional, with large decks overlooking the river—perfect for dining, entertaining, or relaxing by the firepit while listening to the water below. Private pathways meander to the three river beaches. The lower level includes an additional refrigerator, wood bench, and a rough-in for a future bathroom. The oversized two-car garage offers abundant storage, with ample extra parking available. A fenced dog area adds convenience. Located within a gated community that offers a common area with picnic tables, camping sites, and a boat launch. Close to Shenandoah National Park, the Appalachian Trail, and Sky Meadows State Park, as well as numerous wineries, breweries, and dining options. Wildlife is abundant, and the Burwell Van Lennep Foundation ensures the pristine countryside across the river will remain forever protected. A truly remarkable property offering unmatched privacy, natural beauty, and a place to recharge—yet still easily accessible. Exceptional riverfront estates like this are exceedingly rare.
