This property is an amazing secluded retreat! Whether you are a fisherman, hunter, want to grow your own food, want peace & quiet, or a place for kids to play in the woods, this is a serene place to call home! The 5 acres backs to City of Fredericksburg property which leads to the Rapidan River! The city property runs all the way past the confluence of the Rappahannock & Rapidan Rivers with a stream leading down to the river! The city property feels like a National Forest! About a 20 minute hike down to the River. Step inside to an 800 square foot wrap-around (conditioned) porch with Panoramic views of the property! From there you walk inside to a cabin-like home with a cathedral ceiling lined with cedar and a wood burning fireplace with a traditional brick hearth! This entire home (other than the porch) is lined with Cedar and even areas covered with drywall and ceiling tile are enclosing a cedar lining! Your options are endless - keep the cedar for a rustic cabin feel. Or paint some of this white for a more modern lodge aesthetic! The basement has an egress window for a 4th bedroom in the unfinished area along with space for a 3rd bathroom. It also has a screened in porch below the ground level conditioned porch. Outside you have an oversized, detached garage with it's own sub-panel. The back yard was designed as a food production area. The system catches rainwater (and stores it in 2-3000 gallon water tanks) and feeds the garden boxes and orchard areas with a gravity fed sprinkler system that uses no well water. There is also an internal water storage system hidden behind a false wall that latches with magnets but swings open on standard hinges. Walking the acreage is a must to see the full potential! Walk past the creek and down to the Rapidan River where there are cleared campsites.
