There is something magical about a home on the edge of a lake surrounded by 25 acres of mature forest. And you don’t have to be a master naturalist to be mesmerized by the birds, mammals, reptiles and plant life of the lake. Lakeside is sited on the shore of a private lake in the edge of the forest. The grounds around the house are planted with thousands of daffodils, tulips, hyacinths and flowering bulbs. There is a sea of rhododendrons, azaleas and flowering shrubs creating a lovely understory in the woods. The house is a big barn-like structure with large rooms wide windows and tall ceilings. There is a long, wide deck across the rear of the home that overlooks the lake. The previous owner was a renowned collector of American Folk Art so there are too many shelves, display areas and track lights. The main floor includes a large entry hall, kitchen/living/dining area, another very large living room, three fireplaces and the primary suite that has an intriguing stone lined waterfall-like shower. Despite its perfect privacy, Lakeside is around 80 miles from Washington, DC, and about 55 miles from Charlottesville and even closer to both airports. From the home, Sperryville is only 6 miles away and Culpeper, with its commuter train to Washington, is 14 miles away. If you want to explore other areas the Thornton Gap entrance to the Shenandoah National Park is only 14 miles away and the Old Rag trailhead is 21 miles away. In addition to the endless buffet of trails, vistas and waterfalls, Rappahannock and surrounding counties offer endless recreational opportunities. Visit one of our local breweries, distillery or cidery. Enjoy a meal at one of our local restaurants that range from the casual Black Twig to a gourmet meal courtesy of 3 Blacksmiths or the world famous Inn at Little Washington.
