Where Your Backyard Becomes the George Washington National Forest. Approximately 1,000 feet of direct National Forest boundary on 5 agricultural-zoned acres. More than 3,000 square feet. Four bedrooms. Three baths. This property offers something increasingly difficult to find: privacy, usable land, room to gather, and immediate access to thousands of acres of protected forestland right beyond your backyard. Inside, the home is designed for both everyday living and entertaining, with an open-concept living, dining, and kitchen area anchored by a stone wood-burning fireplace, vaulted ceilings, and substantial exposed wood beams. The main level also includes an office with built-in shelving, spacious bedrooms, and thoughtful storage throughout. The primary suite features a private bath and walk-in closet. Bedroom 3 offers something worth coveting: built-in bunk beds and its own walk-in closet. Downstairs, the finished recreation room gives everyone a little more room to spread out. Outside is where this property really separates itself. Enjoy freshly painted front and screened porches, a dedicated picnic and fire-pit area, a basketball hoop, playground equipment, garden space, and plenty of room to roam, have a homestead, or relax. The pole barn provides RV parking and additional utility space, while the garage includes a workshop area for projects, hobbies, or equipment. And then there is the forest. The entire rear portion of the property borders the George Washington National Forest for approximately 1,000 feet, creating a rare sense of privacy and an exceptional outdoor setting. The existing hunting stand was not used by the current owners, but is there for those who want to take advantage of the property's agricultural and recreational possibilities. Recent improvements include professional landscaping, freshly painted porches, a replaced HVAC system, and an upgraded water filtration system. This is more than a house on five acres. It is a place where the property line meets protected forest,
