Property Description
Distinctive Lindal Cedar Home on 10.08 Private Acres Near Historic Shepherdstown Discover a unique combination of architectural character, natural beauty, and peaceful country living in this distinctive Lindal Cedar home, situated on 10.08 acres in Jefferson County, West Virginia. Conveniently located near historic Shepherdstown, Harpers Ferry, Charles Town, and the Potomac River, the property offers a private woodland setting with access to nearby communities and MARC commuter rail stations at Duffields, Harpers Ferry, and Brunswick. Designed around Lindal's signature timber-frame architecture, the home features a dramatic prow-front great room with soaring vaulted ceilings and expansive walls of windows that bring the surrounding landscape indoors. Natural wood finishes, pine ceilings throughout, and hardwood flooring contribute to a warm, inviting atmosphere with timeless character. The thoughtfully designed interior combines open, light-filled gathering spaces with comfortable living areas. Features include white oak flooring on the main level and in the bathrooms, carpeting in the upstairs bedrooms, recessed lighting, wall sconces, and Corian kitchen countertops. Outside, the property's 10.08 acres offer exceptional privacy and a natural landscape of mature mixed hardwoods, flowering dogwoods, abundant wildlife, and seasonal mountain views. Enjoy the changing seasons, birdsong, and peaceful surroundings from the comfort of home. The wooded acreage provides opportunities for nature walks, gardening, and outdoor recreation. A particularly valuable feature is the property's subdivision potential. The HOA covenants and deed expressly provide for subdivision into two approximately five-acre lots, offering additional flexibility and potential investment value, subject to applicable county subdivision requirements and approvals. For buyers interested in a country lifestyle or small homestead, neighborhood covenants permit certain livestock, including horses, cattle, camelids, and poultry, subject to applicable fencing and containment requirements. Additional features include a private well and septic system, a heat pump upgraded in 2015, and a buried 500-gallon propane tank that conveys with the property and supplies gas cooking and backup heating. Whether you're seeking a full-time residence, a peaceful country retreat, or acreage with room to pursue your interests, this distinctive property offers an appealing balance of privacy, architectural character, and accessibility in one of West Virginia's most scenic areas.
