Welcome to 81 Running Bear Court, your peaceful retreat where birdsong is your only morning alarm. Nestled on over 5 serene acres, this private oasis is surrounded by lush greenery and mature trees, offering a perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life. Take a quiet walk down your private nature trail to your creek. The charming front porch and spacious rear deck are ideal for sipping your morning coffee, stargazing on clear nights, or simply breathing in the crisp country air. Step inside to discover gleaming hardwood floors that flow through the main living areas and bedrooms, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. The open floor plan is designed for easy entertaining, with a cozy fireplace anchoring the living room. The heart of the home, the kitchen, was beautifully remodeled in 2023, featuring butcher block countertops, a functional center island, and rustic charm that blends perfectly with the home’s surroundings. The primary bathroom, updated in 2024, offers a spa-like retreat, while other recent upgrades include a new roof (2019), HVAC system (2018), and a pressure tank (2024)—providing peace of mind for years to come. Looking for extra space? The fully finished basement is your blank canvas—perfect for a den, home office, playroom, or the ultimate man cave. Conveniently located just minutes from hiking trails, campgrounds, and the Shenandoah River, Thunderbird Farm is a haven for outdoor enthusiasts.
