12905 Spotswood Furnace Rd, Fredericksburg, VA 22407

Welcome to this tranquil retreat surrounded by nature and bordered by the continuously flowing Mott’s Run creek. The property is nestled on over 8 acres of private, wooded land with subdivision potential or space for additional buildings. A gated entrance for added privacy leads to a fully paved driveway and circular parking area. The mature forest surrounding the property boasts a diverse array of trees, plants, landscapes, and wildlife. The home is positioned at the center of the lot and sits atop a gentle hill ensuring uninterrupted views of the serene woods and creek. The creek and required setbacks mean you will never have to see neighbors while you sit on your spacious deck. Over a 1/2 acre of the backyard is fenced and includes a large stone and decked fire pit. This custom-designed and built log home offers a unique floor plan with three floors and over 3200 square feet of living space. The layout with the kitchen on the lower floor was created to fully embrace living in the serenity of the woods. The design of the house offers large spaces that will adapt as needs change. Refinished Custom 5” wide full thickness hardwood floors are used through much of the house, along with beautiful tile floors on the bottom level. The log home construction and tall ceilings keeps the thermal mass high, so heating and cooling are more efficient than traditional construction. The top floor features a loft bedroom (NTC) with brand new carpet, and a large open room that could easily be converted into multiple bedrooms or used as a theater as it was originally designed. The loft looks down into the large 2-story beam and stone living room. The second floor includes a generous living room with a 30’ floor to ceiling stone fireplace and bump out area that is a perfect space for a home office. The fireplace has a heavy firebox insert and can easily heat the whole home. This floor also includes a primary bedroom and ensuite, an additional smaller bedroom, and a powder room located off the living room area. The bottom floor is designed for living and entertaining. It includes a custom gourmet kitchen with a large granite island and hickory cabinets, and a beautiful log beamed dining room with walls full of glass windows and doors to view the beauty of the backyard. The dining room offers easy access to the large deck and features a quality custom Irish Pub with ample space to store and serve drinks to your guests. The kitchen and dining room open up through multiple doors onto the deck. The newly composite planked deck boasts a large cedar and metal roofed outside dining area. On this floor there is an additional living room with a pellet stove and access to store and load pellets for the season. This floor has a full bath with clawfoot tub, a dedicated laundry room, and a flex/bedroom (NTC)/office. A free-standing 30x50 shop building sits on the property and comes with a separate power meter. The shop includes a 10,000 lb. 2-post car lift, a wood/coal fueled furnace, and a climate controlled (split system) office. The shop is a car collector’s or mechanic’s dream! There is also a clean/tool room with 14’+ ceilings and loft space for storage. In addition to the shop, there are two 40’ high-height shipping containers placed on gravel next to the shop for even more storage. A 10’ x 12’ garden shed and brick constructed well house also exist. Conveniently located close to shopping, dining, and downtown Fredericksburg. This one-of-a-kind oasis offers both privacy and easy access to everything. Schedule your showing today!
