Reconnect with nature at this farmhouse escape--minutes from Bryce Resort, JMU, EMU, state and national parks, caverns, wineries and now Buc-cees. Enjoy the 360 degree panoramic views of spectacular sunrises over the mountains to the East and gorgeous sunsets behind the mountains to the West. Start your morning with coffee on the deck and finish the day on the front porch as the sun sets. Take a walk around the hay field, see the cattle roam the fields. Perhaps you'll see the farmers in action as they bale hay.
This home sits on a 180 acre working family farm in the Shenandoah Valley. It is secluded and private, yet minutes from everything you want to see and enjoy in the valley.
