About this House
Tucked into the rolling Piedmont countryside of Rappahannock County, this beautifully restored chestnut log cabin offers a rare blend of authentic local history and modern comfort. Set on 25 +/- private acres, the property is tucked behind a curtain of 100-year-old boxwoods. Beyond the canopy, you’ll find Old Chestnut Cabin. The home, built circa 1780, is a two bedroom, two bathroom historic log cabin. Gardens surround the home and the rear lawn opens with a grand expanse, gently shaded by mature hardwoods, including stately black walnuts. The open lawn gives way to wooded stretches that host an active population of native songbirds. Tucked in the woods, you’ll find trails and a gentle creek. The exterior charms immediately with its soft yellow clapboard facade, deep red standing-seam metal roof, three classic dormers, and massive stacked-stone chimneys on booth sides. A screened porch off the side offers a shaded spot to take in your morning coffee. The rear deck just off the kitchen was made for cookouts and relaxing with friends and family as you gaze across the lawn or drinking in the midnight sky. The perfectly placed outside shower is a wonderful place to start the day or clean up after an afternoon exploring the woods. Inside, the log cabin's bones remain gloriously intact: exposed hand-hewn chestnut log walls with traditional chinking, wide-plank chestnut floors, and hand-hewn chestnut ceiling beams run throughout. The living room centers on a deep stone hearth with a painted mantel, flanked by tall windows that fill the room with light. The updated kitchen balances old and new, pairing soapstone counters, shaker-style cabinetry, a deep stone hearth, and modern appliances with the same log walls and beamed ceiling found throughout the home. Downstairs, you’ll find a den, perfect for reading your evening book, alternatively, this could also be used as a third bedroom. The main level bathroom has an adorable claw-foot tub and a view of the rear lawn. Upstairs, two well-sized bedrooms share a sweet landing and a unique ‘wet room’ full bathroom. Outdoors, a flagstone patio bordered by a hand-laid stone retaining wall creates a peaceful spot for evening gatherings or fabulous parties. Nearby, the old turkey shed is used for storage and its old logs add to the property's sense of history. The surrounding acreage is a mix of open meadow and mature woodland, offering privacy, room to roam, and habitat for local wildlife. Rappahannock County offers endless opportunities for hiking, birdwatching, and backcountry adventures. Castleton Festival, with its world-class performances is minutes away and the newly reopened Laurel Mills store is around the corner for gas, sandwiches and last minute pantry items. The charming villages of Sperryville and Little Washington are nearby, with farm-to-table restaurants, art galleries, boutique shopping and several wineries & breweries. For more extensive amenities, Culpeper and Warrenton offer a range of big box shops, dining, and services just 20–30 minutes away. And with Washington, D.C. just under an hour and a half to the east, Old Chestnut Cabin is perfectly positioned for those seeking the tranquility of the countryside with easy access to the city.
