Come and take a look at the cozy interior of this rustic log cabin that dates back to 1800 when it was built as a one-room dwelling. This lovely property has been a favorite with many families over the years. The log cabin itself was reconstructed in 1946, with phone poles providing support for the central beam. It has since undergone some renovations, including the addition of a secret, unfinished loft in the main cabin and a bunk house on the property, which provides extra sleeping space. The current owners have taken great care to maintain its original charm and character and have added modern amenities to ensure comfortable living all year round.
This cabin is equipped with new steel roofing, vinyl windows, and gutters that are guaranteed for a lifetime. Additionally, the electrical wiring has been updated, with a 200 amp panel and plumbing featuring pex pipe. A sump pump has been installed in the bathroom, and winterizing the cabin is a breeze. The area surrounding Augusta County and the Shenandoah Valley is steeped in rich history, with the George Washington Nationwide Forest providing miles of natural beauty to explore. Contact your agent for more information, as this log cabin will not be available for long.
There are plenty of activities to enjoy in the area, such as Pure Chimneys Regional Park, which showcases the geological wonders of Western Virginia. While here, visitors can observe local wildlife, including American goldfinches, chipping sparrows, and American robins. Carolina Chickadees and Carolina Wrens can also be spotted in the adjacent scrubland, while North River provides a haven for waterfowl and herons. The Virginia Grasp Naturalists’ native chapter’s pollinator gardens are home to a variety of butterfly species, including the eastern tiger and spicebush swallowtails.
Another great destination in the Shenandoah Valley is Grand Caverns, ideal for history enthusiasts, nature lovers, runners, birdwatchers, and anyone who enjoys the great outdoors. Visitors can explore both the underground caverns and the park, which boasts numerous trails for hiking, biking, and climbing. The park also features a swimming pool, mini golf course, playground, fishing spots, and a fitness trail with stations at each stop. Interestingly, during the Civil War, both Confederate and Union troops visited Grand Caverns, leaving behind more than 200 signatures, including the famous W.W. Miles.
