| Notes: |
Welcome to Castle Spring a hidden treasure that will take your breath away. As the sun<br />
begins its descent, imagine sitting on your deck overlooking 22 acres of pristine pasture and<br />
forest, a breathtaking view of Shenandoah National Park, a stocked spring-fed pond, and the<br />
stone remains of the original road that connected Little Washington to Culpeper in the early<br />
1800’s. Imagine the people who once used the road daily and picked freely from the pawpaw<br />
trees, or stumbled upon a cluster of morels, or collected chestnuts to bring back home to roast.<br />
Imagine a stillness and silence so deep and encompassing that only the sounds of bird calls or<br />
the rustling of trees can be heard. 103 Castleton Ford Road blends the simplicity and serenity of<br />
the past with all the modern comforts and conveniences; it is a dream home come to<br />
fruition. The main home has 3 bedrooms with 2.5 bathrooms, fantastic gourmet kitchen with an<br />
open space for a dining and living room with over 2,700 finished square feet. The guest house has an artist studio with a powder<br />
room, an apartment studio upstairs with full bath and bedroom totaling 1,400 finished square feet , plus a two car garage. That's over 4,100 finished livable square feet of living space. Both<br />
buildings are equipped with whole house generators for peace of mind.<br />
As soon as you enter the main house you are presented with a choice. If you walk straight<br />
through the luxurious foyer with powder room Italian ceramic tiles, you will find yourself on the<br />
screened in porch section of the deck, which is the perfect spot for summer morning breakfasts<br />
and a second cup of coffee. The other section of the deck is open, enhancing the stunning<br />
views that lay before you. Leaning over the deck you will see the asparagus bed, a raised bed<br />
vegetable garden protected by wire fencing, blueberry, raspberry and gooseberry bushes, and<br />
tart cherry and fig trees bursting with fruit. Back inside, the open concept kitchen, with<br />
cherrywood kitchen/pantry cabinets and dramatic sealed granite counters, overlooks the dining<br />
and living room, which was very thoughtfully and logically laid out: cook delicious delights grown<br />
from your garden, eat the gorgeous meals you make at the dining room table, then move to the<br />
living room or go back outside on your deck to relax and take a moment to be thankful for it all.<br />
A lovely primary bedroom with a marble-floored full bath with cherry cabinetry and a walk-in<br />
closet that will accommodate all your clothing storage. There is an extra room that includes a<br />
half bath which could be used for an office or bedroom.<br />
Downstairs, the den is the embodiment of comfort and relaxation. Light a fire in the Quadra-Fire<br />
wood burning stove and heat your entire house. Curl up on the couch and stream your favorite<br />
series on high-speed Starlink internet. Sleep in the spacious guest bedroom if you don’t feel like<br />
walking back upstairs. Or better yet, go sit out on the lower level covered porch and listen to the<br />
rain beating down above you as it collects into the under-deck drainage system. <br />
Entering the studio, the true scope of the spaces comes to life. It is complete with a half bath,<br />
giant stainless steel work sink, and tons of space for any creative endeavor you want to do. As<br />
you make your way up the new entry steps and stand on the newly installed deck overlooking<br />
the mountains, you will find a charming apartment with everything you could need. The kitchen,<br />
recently completely renovated, includes a washer/dryer, gas range stove, dishwasher, fridge,<br />
granite countertops, and ample cupboard space. The dining room and living room are<br />
connected and the windows allow for beautiful natural light all day long not to mention that<br />
magnificent view. Along with a full bathroom, also recently renovated, and cozy bedroom, this<br />
apartment would be the perfect fit for guests to stay the night or even more long term. <br />
