Description
Perched high up on Reality Farm Lane, just outside the quaint, iconic town of Washington, Virginia, lovingly known locally as Little Washington, sits Reality Mountain, a one of a kind 50-acre property, in conservation easement, with outstanding views of famous Old Rag Mountain. Originally built in 1973 as a mountain hideaway, the current owners have spent the past decade painstakingly building upon the most solid of foundations, resulting in this unique eight bedroom, six full and three half bathroom retreat we see today. The main level is a wonderful earth-tone confluence of hardwoods and stone, with a wall of floor to ceiling windows embracing a world class vista of mountains and valleys, with the infinite view pool in the foreground. For the accomplished and aspiring chef alike, the open plan kitchen is a dream come true, with its 8-burner Wolf range with pot filler plus double ovens, dual sinks and a butler's pantry, resplendent with Sub Zero freezer and prep sink. Relax al fresco in one of the screened porches, including the covered oasis off the main level, with spiral staircase to the upper deck. A few steps down from the family room finds a self contained one bedroom apartment with kitchen and bathroom. The second level features the large primary bedroom suite, which overlooks the viewing gallery of the family room, and flows through to the luxurious attached primary bathroom. A magnificent stone fireplace and screened porch complete this owner's sanctuary. From the second level landing, a fully enclosed breezeway, with multiple windows on each side, leads to yet another self contained suite, comprising a bedroom with attached bathroom and sitting room. Two further bedrooms with a full bathroom complete the second level. The extraordinary lower level has been masterfully reimagined in to a divine place of relaxation, with its billiards room, bar, wine gallery, den, two further bedrooms sharing a full bathroom and a substantial home office. An indoor lap pool, at the bottom of a short flight of stairs is ready for thoughtful restoration, promising a most enjoyable future location for the early morning swimmer. Once outside, this scenic 50 acre oasis offers the outdoor enthusiast a multitude of opportunities to be at one with nature, from mountain hikes to bird watching and swimming, and so much more. Strolling up the old logging trail from the house finds a stocked mountain pond, and further on up, a mountain top picnic area from where to take in the sights and sounds of Rappahannock County. In the event of a power outage, the Generac generator automatically engages to ensure continued power to many of the home's systems. A double garage plus two single garages, including one with an extra high door are conveniently located opposite Reality Mountain's main front door. Numerous wineries are within easy reach including the delightful Quie8;vremont Vineyard & Winery at the bottom of the mountain. Historic Sperryville, which sits below the famous 105 mile long Skyline Drive, just a short drive to the south west of Reality Mountain, is home to several excellent restaurants, specialty stores, antique shops and art galleries. The home has an existing B&B permit approved by Rappahannock County zoning that transfers to the new homeowner, and it serves as the official overflow for the renowned luxury hotel and restaurant, The Inn at Little Washington, as well as listed on the Airbnb site.
