1410 Riverview Dr, Toms Brook, VA 22660

Blue Heron Farm, a riverfront 17-acre property is waiting for you in Toms Brook. It is a perfect get-a-way sanctuary for you and your family. Blue Heron boasts an 1800’s log house with a 1950’s addition that has been thoughtfully updated and is ready to enjoy for long weekends or full-time fun. Walk out the door and go camping, fishing, kayaking, gardening, hiking or horseback riding (there’s a horse barn for you to stable your own). Nearby hiking in the Geo. Wash. Natl Forest, Seven Bends State Park or the Appalachian Trail on the Blue Ridge Mountains will call to you. The North Fork of the Shenandoah River at the foot of your property can float your cares away. A quarter of a mile of Toms Brook soothes you to sleep and its banks supply lovely trails for on-property walking. Look around and see an incredible variety of birds and animals including eagles, hawks, turkeys, herons, deer, otters and rabbits. Massive charm shines forth in a 10-foot wide stone fireplace, an old-fashioned winder stairway, wide wood plank flooring, and the secluded stone patio where you can enjoy your morning coffee. The kitchen maintains the vintage linoleum counters with a modern electric range, microwave, refrigerator and stacked washer/dryer. A formal dining room and big eat-in kitchen is ready for your guests. A main floor bedroom and two more upstairs (one has built-in drawers and closets) can accommodate your extended family. The “bunk house” just steps from the kitchen is a great place for the kids. The house has been cladded in easy to care for cypress siding with working shutters. Other buildings include an 1860s bank barn, two sheds and a three-bay equipment garage with workbench. Only 90 minutes from Washington DC, there are vineyards, distilleries, dining, historical sites, small farms selling fresh vegetables and eggs and more. The property is currently in land use via a local farmer for hay, grains and corn so you can contribute to the local economy but don’t have to do the hard work. There are no conservation or historical easements. Most of the furniture and fixtures in the house (not the art work) are available so you can just drive past the enormous boxwoods and spend the night on your own piece of paradise.
