Situated in the heart of Virginia's Shenandoah Valley with private Shenandoah River access and panoramic mountain views, this one-of-a-kind property combines historic character with modern infrastructure in a highly desirable tourism market.

Outdoor amenities further enhance the property's appeal, including private river access for kayaking, expansive lawn areas suitable for weddings and events, an outdoor fireplace incorporated from the original smokehouse, a pond, historic quarry, and the preserved stone foundation of a former bank barn that offers exciting opportunities for future event space, gardens, or outdoor entertaining. Included in the sale are a kayak storage building and **eight kayaks**, allowing a new owner to continue offering popular outdoor recreation experiences immediately.
