Property Description
Originally constructed as a rustic log cabin, this beautifully expanded and updated property blends historic charm with modern comfort, all nestled on over 3.5 acres of park-like land just outside Shepherdstown, WV. Mature trees, thoughtfully landscaped gardens, and gently rolling lawn create a peaceful, private setting—ideal for those who value serenity, creativity, and connection to nature.
Located directly across from the Izaak Walton League, this property offers opportunity to enjoy one of the area's most scenic and wildlife-rich preserves—perfect for nature walks, birdwatching, and outdoor recreation. And for commuters, the location couldn't be more ideal: just 10 minutes from historic downtown Shepherdstown, and under 30 minutes to the MARC train in Harpers Ferry for easy access to Northern Virginia and Washington, DC. Routes 340, 9, and I-70/I-270 are all within close reach.
Inside, part of the home retains its original log cabin character with hand-hewn beams and timeless wood detailing, while a series of thoughtful additions have elevated the space for today's living. One of the most exceptional features is a 27' x 22' custom-designed room, originally built as a personal office and writing sanctuary. With soaring ceilings, hardwood floors, and abundant natural light, this inspiring space has been staged as a luxurious primary suite—complete with custom built-ins and a peaceful, spa-like ambiance. If this were to be used as a bedroom, there are two other spaces that could be offices, flex rooms, bedrooms. (Septic is only rated for 2 Bedrooms).
Just down the hall, the spacious bathroom offers a whirlpool tub, walk-in tiled shower, and a skylight that fills the room with natural light. The kitchen features white cabinetry, updated appliances, and a casual dining area, while the adjacent formal dining room showcases heart pine floors and charming arched doorways. Additional living spaces include a sunroom, cozy gathering areas, and a sizable two car garage.
Recent updates include fresh interior paint and updated landscaping—making the home move-in ready.
Whether you're looking for a private creative retreat, a commuter-friendly residence, or a home with historic charm and wooded beauty, this distinctive property delivers. With nearby access to the Potomac River, the C&O Canal Towpath, Antietam Battlefield, and Shepherdstown's shops, restaurants, and campus life, the location offers the perfect blend of convenience and escape.
