What's special
Discover a rare opportunity for idyllic serenity in picturesque Rappahannock County. Battle Run Church, originally built in 1832, has been thoughtfully converted into a stunning residence by a renowned Virginia hunt country interior designer. This remarkable property offers a perfect retreat on just 1.4 acres, yet is completely surrounded by the rolling hills of the historic Ben Venue Farm, which spans over 1,600 acres. The residence boasts 2 bedrooms (plus an office) and 2 baths, with living areas on two levels totaling over 2,000 square feet. The original sanctuary is now an expansive great room made for entertaining, with 17’ ceilings, multiple seating vignettes, dining space for 10+, and even room for a grand piano. The fully modern kitchen, with custom cabinetry made from salvaged wood and new Caeserstone quartz countertops, exudes both elegance and charm. For the homeowner, enjoy single-floor living with a main level primary bedroom and en suite bath, complete with a large shower and custom Elfa closets. Upstairs, guests will find a welcoming space with another bedroom and en suite bath, as well as a versatile office or third bedroom, offering inspiring work-from-home views. With all systems and appliances less than 5 years old, including HVAC and water heater, and a newly insulated attic for added efficiency, this residence seamlessly blends historic charm with modern convenience. Step outside and enjoy multiple areas for entertaining and relaxation, including a spacious stone terrace and a cozy firepit, offering breathtaking views of the surrounding fields and mountains. Just a short drive away, you'll find local favorites in Flint Hill, such as the Dark Horse Tavern and The Blue Door Kitchen, while Washington offers delightful dining options at Patty O’s Café and the world-renowned Inn at Little Washington. Embrace an outdoor-focused lifestyle with easy access to hiking in Shenandoah National Park and picnics along Skyline Drive, all within a scenic drive of only 1.5 hours to/from Washington, DC. Whether it's the ever-changing backdrop of the Rappahannock landscape or the proximity to charming cafes and galleries in Flint Hill, Washington, and Sperryville, this property invites you to savor the best of Virginia countryside living. NOTE: The property is also available to purchase fully-furnished, including art and accessories! It is so turn key, you only need to bring your toothbrush! Pre-offer inspections are welcome.
