Remarkably peaceful Mountain Retreat on a quiet rural spur of Hampshire County West Virginia’s most artsy little town, Capon Bridge. This exceptionally airy home offers relaxed seclusion in abundance, yet also reliable 5G cellular internet. Built into the sunny south-facing summit of 21.8 leafy forest acres, this 6,500+ square foot Retreat Home has both sun-dappled woodland and over 1,700 feet of private frontage on the lively North River. Designed for comfort with upsized rooms, high ceilings throughout, three spacious private Bed/Bath Suites (one per floor, at alternating ends of the building) and 4 1⁄2 baths. Second Floor also offers a 4 th large Bedroom or sizable Library / Office / Conference Room, bonus loft & more. In photos see floorplans drawn to scale for each building level. In addition to Three Suites & the possible Extra Bedroom, custom Luxury Amenities include a generous two-person indoor sauna + indoor swim-in-place heated pool (7x13 countercurrent Endless Pool with performance upgrade). This much-appreciated pool is well managed at comfortable lower chlorine levels with reliably fresh indoor air at all times & everywhere in the entire 3-story building. This pool serves a very wide range of personal health & fitness aims, from gentle still-water aerobics or rehab to all-out Ironman-type endurance swim training. 16 kW Generator backs up all essential circuits including pool room ventilation. Oversized detached 2-car garage (40 feet deep) plus four more coordinating outdoor buildings. Though peace & privacy reign here 24/7/365, this country delight is an easy drive to bustling Winchester, VA, with its full array of stores, restaurants, and professional services - including the Valley Health flagship Winchester Medical Center. One travels up the wooded driveway to reach the front door of an intentionally modest-faced Rural Home. Yet on entering that doorway a truly marvelous & uniquely uplifting delight quickly begins to unfold. From the welcoming Foyer, through its large decorative glass French Doors straight ahead, one arrives in the First Floor Great Room, featuring soaring wall & ceiling heights and a spectacularly tall array of bright south-facing windows. One’s eyes are drawn inescapably to the stunning over-the-treetops view of the never to be developed Ice Mountain Preserve and its dramatic Raven Rocks. All who have ever entered this artfully constructed space have personally expressed – sometimes with an audible gasp – the awe of its uniquely inspiring & unforgettable mountain view. And this is the case at any season of the year or time of day - due in part to the breathtaking outdoor color palette which transitions faithfully all year long through several beautiful seasonal variations. To serve varying needs of guests or owners, the Primary Retreat Bed/Bath Suite, with deep soaking tub in custom-built deck, is also on this First Floor, creating an option for easy single-level living. The entire First Floor was also designed as wheelchair-friendly, with many carefully executed special features. Well-lit 48” wide interior stairways take one either up or down to the other two living levels. Notably, the Walk-out Full Basement has brand new Kitchenette & Hearth installations, and both the Sauna & Spa Rooms. Also, here Bed/Bath Suite #3 can optionally serve as either Residential or Guest Quarters or Complete In-Law or Live-in Assistant Accommodations, or a Highly Attractive Rentable Space. Since the unique features of this fascinating Private Retreat are many, the Listing Agent plans to be present at each showing to give info about all the Major Functions and Systems of this amazing property, conduct tours to the long private River Frontage, and show all Surveyor-Installed Boundary Line Markers. About 30 minutes to Winchester and 2 hours either way to Dulles Airport Or DC Beltway
