This Remarkable "work of art" custom 3br/3ba home was constructed by renowned builder Noah Bradley (Blue Mountain Builders) is built from reclaimed materials. The log cabin materials were delivered to the site from an 1850's Crib Barn in Strasburg, VA and materials for the connecting farmhouse originated from a 1790's (two over two) post and beam farmhouse in Mecklenburg, VA. The cabin was built and used as a weekend property in 1995 and then as a full time residence once the attached farmhouse was completed in 2002. The home is covered by a stately copper roof & gutters. Most of the flooring throughout the main floor is heart pine, except for the kitchen flooring and cabinets which are American “Wormy" Chestnut from an old Madison County home. Two of the bathrooms floors are soapstone from Schuyler Va. The second story flooring above the farmhouse is yellow pine. The home is very well insulated and was once featured on the front cover of "Energy Efficient Magazine". A whole house generator conveys. Two 2 wood burning fireplaces add to the cozy feel in the winter months. The cabin fireplace is framed by hand laid stone, and the livingroom fireplace is antique brick. The wide front porch looks over the farm fields and close mountains while the side cabin porch offers mountain views and sunsets from the west. A partial basement is under the farmhouse and walks out to a side patio. Perennials planted in front are replicas of pollinator plants from colonial-era gardens. There are also several heirloom pear and apple trees that have never been sprayed. A local farmer hays the outlying field twice a year with no formal contract. The field could also make a nice pasture for a couple of horses. This home on 11.5 beautiful rural acres is truly a unique "one of a kind" jewel in beautiful Madison County! You will never find another one quite like it. See the pictures or documents for a list of special features.
