129 Rappahannock Trl, Winchester, VA 22602

Description

YOUR MOUNTAIN ESCAPE MAY BE CLOSER THAN YOU THINK.

Leave the traffic, noise and pace of everyday life behind—without getting on a plane. Tucked among the trees in the scenic Shawneeland community, 129 Rappahannock Trail is a beautifully renovated chalet-style retreat with breathtaking mountain and ridge views and the peaceful, private setting you've been dreaming about.

This isn't simply an older mountain home with a few cosmetic updates. The property underwent an extensive renovation in 2023, bringing together the charm and character of a chalet in the woods with the comfort and finishes today's buyers are looking for.

Major improvements include a new roof, siding, windows, HVAC system and ductwork, water heater, appliances and decks, along with updated flooring and fresh paint throughout. The kitchen was beautifully renovated with quartz countertops, and the bathrooms were updated as part of the transformation. So much of the work has already been done—leaving you more time to simply enjoy the setting.

Perfect as an everyday home, weekend getaway or second-home retreat, this is a place made for slowing down. Wake up surrounded by the woods, enjoy your morning coffee against a mountain backdrop, spend quiet evenings by the fireplace, and experience the kind of privacy that's increasingly hard to find within reach of Northern Virginia and the Washington, D.C. area.

Here, getting away doesn't mean giving everything up. Strong cell service and high-speed internet options help keep you connected, while nearby Winchester puts shopping, dining and everyday conveniences within reach. Spend the day enjoying the outdoors at The Cove, then head into historic Old Town Winchester to stroll the pedestrian mall, browse locally owned shops, grab a coffee or enjoy dinner at one of its many restaurants. It's a wonderful combination of mountain living, outdoor recreation and a vibrant downtown nearby.

WANT EVEN MORE SPACE AND PRIVACY? The home sits on approximately .29 acre, and the adjoining .89-acre parcel is also offered separately for $70,000 — MLS #VAFV2045004. Purchase both for the opportunity to enjoy approximately 1.18 acres combined, creating an even more private mountain retreat surrounded by nature.

Close enough to escape for the weekend. Special enough that you may never want to leave.
