Private Mountain

Property Description

An architectural gem designed by Diane Lohman with input from the sellers. This property features two original log cabins, circa 1800’s from Virginia that were dismantled, moved to the current location and put back together with a connecting addition maintaining the authenticity of the time period with a choice of materials to create a wonderful home with all the modern conveniences of today and the feel of yesterday. We’ll try to help you visualize the beauty of this property. The home is located on 5.4 natural acres in the Ice Mountain subdivision offering a trail to cross the North Branch of the Potomac river via a swinging bridge. Hike the mountain and enjoy the views of the ridge and algific talus slope that is part of a 149 acre preserve that is designated as a National Natural landmark. It is nicknamed” Nature’s Ice Box” or “Nature’s Refrigerator” due to its ice vents that release cool air year round. Locally sourced cherry hand hewn wood floors, a magnificent stacked stone fireplace with a custom forged iron fireguard, built in bookcases and two single bed size window seats compliment the cozy great room with a door opening onto the rear patio. The family room, adjacent dining room and kitchen all offer scenic views of the community area “meadow” and Ice Mountain which lies across the river. The kitchen has custom built cabinets with soapstone sink and fire slate counters, a large island with a propane cooktop with tile floors. Situated off the kitchen is a large open pantry with plenty of storage. Enjoy the screened porch directly off the kitchen. There is a large first floor bedroom with connecting bathroom that also serves guests. The upstairs has two large bedrooms each with a private bath, one with access to a wonderful screened porch that also has a steam shower in the bath. The lower level offers another bedroom and private bath, laundry area and utilities room. The outside offers a lovely stone patio with walkways thru the beautifully maintained gardens. The whole house generator and Tesla car charger will convey with the sale of the house along with most furnishings. The furniture deserves its own descriptions, the seller will leave a list of the pieces and history of each.
