Nestled on a picturesque hill in Fort Defiance, this well-built home overlooks the Central Shenandoah Valley which includes a backdrop of the rolling Blue Ridge Mountains. The centerpiece of the home is an expansive family room with wood burning fireplace that opens to a 170 square foot sunroom with panoramic views of neighboring farms and a great place to take in the morning sunrise over the mountains to the east or enjoy a fresh falling snow. The beautiful design and craftsmanship blends seamlessly into the natural surroundings on the edge of 10 acres of forest where you can explore trails and connect with nature. Keep warm by the fireplace in the primary suite which is conveniently located on the first floor and prepare a wonderful meal in the cozy kitchen equipped with brand new appliances. The large basement boasts over 1,600 square feet of finished space with a kitchenette that could easily be transformed into in-law suite or stand alone apartment. Other buildings on the property include a large, 3-bay pole barn as well as a shop with attached greenhouse. The potential for this property is endless!
