“Between the wish and the thing the world lies waiting.” - Cormac McCarthy, All the Pretty Horses What if I told you this place was real? What if I told you it's on 9.5 acres? What if I told you it's in Ruther Glen, Virginia, about three miles off 95 and 20 minutes from Richmond? What if I told you it's for sale, and I own it? What if I told you it's not on the market yet, and you have to call me for an appointment to come see it? (Your real estate agent is welcome to call me too!) Sometimes you come across a place you've always imagined, yet never would have come up with on your own. This is such a place. Imagine a two-story rustic hand-hewn log cabin that sits up tall in the woods, perfectly private, artfully furnished. Imagine four decks on front and back, top and bottom. Imagine a cast-iron woodstove with the rocking chair already there and a spiral stair (I love spiral stairs!!) inviting you up to the loft. Imagine a tasteful kitchen with deep sink and appliances ready, complete with plenty of closet space and natural light pouring in. Imagine a bar with stools sitting waiting. Imagine a perfect bathroom and master bed on the main floor, all the glowing burnished pine, a cozy setting for you and your friends. Imagine more space upstairs in the loft with ample decks looking out over the woods. A sturdy catwalk connects front and back with curved iron railing throughout. Even a few creature comforts like an air conditioner, and a stackable washer/dryer. And you realize that's what attracts you about this place: The coolness. The granite countertop with chairs all around on the back deck are just waiting for that game of Texas hold 'em. The windmill with chain running all the way down. The spotlights mounted on the trees for those summer evening parties. But hold on there, Huckleberry. You missed the main attraction! In the side yard there are so many outbuildings you lose count. The coolest has got to be the little saloon, with the deer skull and swinging doors and bar inside. All the décor is retro and there's so much you can't even take it all in. Rusty iron tools hanging all over the place, more than Cracker Barrel has. Head on over to the jail and see who's stuck in the hoosegow. Or the huge two-car garage with poured concrete floor and workshop. Or maybe stop by the johnny-house if you just can't wait any longer. My haters will give me a hard time and say that this doesn't really exist, or that my price of $395,000 is higher than Willie Nelson's hatband, or that maybe I'm just trying to scam people out of their money. But I've sold thousands of properties in Virginia over the years, and if you call me you'll find something out: You've never seen anything like this before in your life. (Neither have I!) A pretty cool chunk of the world lies waiting over here in Caroline County. I can owner finance it for you with a good down payment. Come see it.
