Discover your own 25.54-acre private retreat in the scenic rolling hills of the northern Shenandoah Valley with three contiguous parcels conveying together and offering a rare blend of seclusion, usability, and long-term flexibility. Located just minutes from downtown Winchester, this property provides the peaceful setting and privacy that are increasingly difficult to find while keeping dining, shopping, and everyday amenities conveniently within reach. Privately positioned among mature hardwoods, the property features a charming 2-bedroom cottage that serves as an ideal base for relaxation, recreation, or extended stays. The interior has been freshly painted throughout, with new carpet in the bedrooms and new LVP flooring in the living areas, giving the cottage a clean and move-in ready feel that is rare for a property of this type. The kitchen features solid oak cabinetry, a full appliance suite, and a window overlooking the surrounding woods, while the full bathroom is well appointed with an oak vanity and medicine cabinet. A second rustic cabin on the third parcel adds immediate versatility for guests, a hunting camp, storage, or future improvement potential. The third parcel also benefits from its own direct access easement from the road, creating additional flexibility for access, use, or long-term planning. The land itself is the true highlight. Established off-road trails wind throughout all three parcels, providing access across varied and interesting terrain ideal for hiking, ATV use, and exploring. A seasonal stream enhances the natural character of the property and supports abundant wildlife including deer, turkey, squirrel, and the occasional black bear, making this an exceptional setting for outdoor enthusiasts and hunters alike. The rolling topography and wooded privacy create a property that is both peaceful and highly usable. Equally compelling is the infrastructure already in place. The primary cottage is supported by electric service, a private well drilled to 160 feet with a confirmed yield of approximately 25 gallons per minute, and a fully permitted conventional septic system, all inspected and documented with the Virginia Department of Health. Infrastructure of this quality and documentation level is increasingly uncommon for rural acreage and significantly reduces uncertainty for future ownership. Whether you are searching for a weekend escape, serious hunting property, legacy retreat, recreational basecamp, multi-parcel investment opportunity, or a scenic foundation for a future private estate, this property offers versatility rarely found in today's market. No HOA, no covenants, and no restrictions provide freedom for a wide range of uses. Tax Map parcels conveying with the sale include 19A38D (6.55 acres), 19A38E (8.95 acres), and 19A38F (10.04 acres), combining to create a unique opportunity to own meaningful acreage in Frederick County's desirable Shenandoah Valley corridor. A rare chance to secure private land with existing improvements, natural beauty, and long-term potential — all just minutes from Winchester yet feeling worlds away.
