About this home
Nestled in the heart of the Shenandoah Valley, this truly one-of-a-kind property blends rich history, modern comfort, and breathtaking natural beauty—all set against the backdrop of sweeping mountain views and private access to the Shenandoah River. Originally built by Martin Kauffman, the meticulously restored two-story log cabin (2008) serves as the soul of this remarkable home.
Thoughtfully expanded and renovated, the residence offers 4 spacious upper-level bedrooms, each with its own ensuite full bathroom, creating a rare level of comfort and privacy for guests and family alike. A full bath on the main level adds convenience for everyday living and entertaining. The updated kitchen and dining area feature an open layout with French doors that lead to a stunning two-story deck overlooking the river—perfect for hosting gatherings or enjoying quiet mornings surrounded by nature.
The original log cabin living space is a true showpiece, complete with a two-sided stone fireplace crafted from materials sourced directly from the property’s own quarry, along with a built-in movie projector and large screen for unforgettable evenings at home. Outdoors, the property shines with a spacious lawn ideal for recreation, a patio with a charming open fireplace (once part of a historic smokehouse), and endless opportunities to relax, entertain, or explore.
Additional features include a partially accessible basement with both interior and exterior access, a machine shed with equipment storage, a separate kayak building with 8 kayaks that convey, and unique land elements such as a pond, an old quarry (source of bluestone used in the Blue Ridge Parkway), and the stone foundation of a former bank barn—offering potential for a future garden or outdoor entertaining space.
Major system updates include a 2008 renovation (plumbing, electrical, windows, siding, and more), new roof (2021), water treatment system (2022), well pump (2013), water line (2018), and newer appliances including a 2025 stove/cooktop.
Located just minutes from Shenandoah National Park, George Washington National Forest, Luray Caverns, and a wide array of outdoor recreation, dining, and local attractions, this property offers a lifestyle that is both peaceful and adventure-filled. Whether kayaking on the river, enjoying mountain sunsets, or gathering around the fire under star-filled skies, this home is a rare opportunity to own a piece of Virginia history in an unforgettable setting....
