Traveling down Kilkenny Road, you can't help but breathe easy as the incredible scenery greets you. This is "horse country", with its vast expanses of open rolling meadows, the quiet of its forests and undisturbed skies, and the Blue Ridge mountains always in the background. This quintessential farmhouse offers "old house" charm with all the amenities needed for a busy modern lifestyle. The traditional floor plan offers intimate living spaces with interesting nooks around every corner. As you might expect from an old friend, the front porch offers a warm and inviting greeting to relax and stay for a while. The front foyer features an impressive staircase and opens to a formal parlor with fireplace and a spacious dining room, large enough to host the whole family for special occasions. The newly updated kitchen exudes upscale country charm and opens to a cozy log family room with wood burning fireplace. Just off the kitchen, an old stone cookhouse has been transformed into a well-designed mudroom with a huge pantry, full bath, and transitions to a sun-filled studio with vaulted ceilings. Board & batten siding adorn a charming guest cottage with kitchenette and full bath. There are multiple porches and patios to enjoy the landscape, including mature perennial gardens which have been lovingly tended and thoughtfully planned for low maintenance. Pets are safe to roam freely in the fenced yard. And, finally, a charming barn in the back of the property is a sweet shelter for goats or other small farm animals, with a a shed to protect lawn equipment. Situated at the end of a state-maintained country lane, enveloped by protected farmland and the peaceful lull of rural life around you, it is easy to forget that it is only a short drive to all the conveniences of the towns of Warrenton & Marshall. For a quick bite to eat and a friendly exchange with a neighbor, the tiny village of Orlean offers a country store & restaurant, a tiny post office and a lovely shop. The current owner has lovingly restored & upgraded this home and its outbuildings with high quality workmanship throughout. For internet, they've used and appreciated Starlink RV .
