71 FOX CREEK LANE Nestled at the end of a quiet country lane, this lovingly designed home was built for artists and art collectors. Surrounded by mature forest, the 3 bedroom, 2.5 bath looks out over a large lake with the bucolic Virginia countryside as a scenic backdrop. With a little clearing, you should be able to see the peaks of the Blue Ridge towering in the distance. The 25 acre parcel is completely wooded with mature trees providing a riot of color in the fall and privacy screening throughout the year. True to its folk art roots, the home is rustically elegant. The simple exterior harkens back to the barns that dot the Rappahannock countryside, but as you tour through the home its elegance shines through. Cathedral ceilings in the kitchen and primary suite as well as a bank of glass along the western side of the house give the home a bright airy feel. Despite its perfect privacy, Artists Retreat is around 80 miles from Washington, DC, and about 55 miles from Charlottesville and even closer to both airports. Artists Retreat allows you to get away from it all without being too far off the beaten path. From the cabin, Sperryville is only 6 miles away. If you want to explore other areas the Thornton Gap entrance to the Shenandoah National Park is only 14 miles away and the Old Rag trailhead is 21 miles away. In addition to the endless buffet of trails, vistas and waterfalls, Rappahannock and surrounding counties offer endless recreational opportunities. Visit one of our local breweries, distillery or cidery. Enjoy a meal at one of our local restaurants that range from the casual Black Twig to a gourmet meal courtesy of 3 Blacksmiths or the world famous Inn at Little Washington.
