Cottage

TWO CABINS FOR THE PRICE OF ONE! A rare find in Lost River: only 2 years old, architecturally designed cabin + guesthouse/oversized garage, built by one of the most respected craftsmen in the valley. Stunning mountain views all around, mostly flat acreage. These buildings show much attention to detail; great attention was paid to the finishes and construction of these structures. The cozy main cabin has double-height, open plan main living space with expansive mountain views, two bedrooms, one full bath, loft, screened porch and deck, Danish Morso wood stove. The second building features a 900 sq foot open plan guesthouse with kitchenette, full bath, storage and a deck with expansive views of your own private forest, a park-like setting has mature oaks and no undergrowth. Below is an oversized 2-bay garage, completely finished, with utility sink. Both floors have mini-splits for climate control. The garage is a dream-come-true mancave, wood shop or extra space. The beautifully finished guesthouse above could be an Airbnb, place to stow guests or the kids, a yoga studio, art or writing studio, or even a commercial space. LOCAL AREA: The Lost River Valley, and especially the Mill Gap Area, is a hub for living and exploring Hardy County and points beyond. The property is located minutes from the George Washington National Forest and Rock Cliff Lake. Trout Pond Recreation area has a designated swimming section with a sandy beach and hiking trails. Just to the Southwest is Lost River State Park with a beautiful pool, horseback riding, hiking, and biking trails. Within eyesight of Mill Gap is Kimsey Run Dam. This is a great area for canoeing, fishing or just sitting on the dam taking in the views. The nearby entrance to Corridor H leads east to Northern Virginia or west to Skiing at Timberline and Snowshoe. AMENETIES: Lost River also has a General Store and Inn, a Yoga Barn, The Butcher Block (which has fresh local meats and a variety of foods and daily specials), Lost River Farmers Market in Mill Gap, a hardware store, a grocery store, and an Artesian Market Place Coop. In nearby Mathias, in the LRV, is a new wood fired pizza restaurant and a new gym. The Guest House at Lost River, (Dining, Bar, Pool, Restaurant) is located three miles from the property. The Lost River Farmers Market has beer and wine, food, gifts and outdoor patio where folks enjoy wine flights and swap stories. DC AREA: We are two hours from the Beltway, only three miles over the mountains from the Virginia line. Two hours from the Beltway. (When Corridor H is completed, the time to Northern Virginia will be reduced by 20+ minutes) Lost River Valley is more than just a pin on a map. More than just a destination for the weekend. Lost River is home to a community of people with a vast amount of life experiences and professions, from rocket scientists, authors and artists, sculptors and wood workers, doctors and nurses and developers and home builders. People come for the weekend and stay for a lifetime.
