“Flent Cottage” is a hidden lakeside retreat providing all the elements of extraordinary country living, without sacrificing immediate access to the conveniences required for a busy lifestyle. Seemingly right off the pages of Southern Living magazine, a breezy front porch invites you to relax, settle in and stay a while. Thoughtful design & carefully selected details lend to the sense of sophistication, but this home was designed to be relaxing and comfortable. Impressive moldings, rich woods, and trendy accents create elegant living spaces. The floor plan flows easily and offers inspiring water views from almost every room in the house. The kitchen was designed to function as beautifully as it looks, and is a well-loved place for impromptu gatherings, easily flowing over to the living room and the outdoor spaces. The main level owner’s suite is a highlight of this home…it is a peaceful sanctuary, with ever-changing views of light glistening on the lake and access to the screened porch to enjoy fresh morning breezes. Fantastic outdoor spaces offer a variety of places for casual dining and irresistible hours of stargazing, in almost any weather! Gardeners will appreciate the variety of established plantings and well-organized potting shed. Equestrians will adore the well-appointed stable, 4 board fenced paddocks, sand riding arena and easy access to an abundance of equestrian facilities and activities! Avid anglers can simply stroll down to the private dock, hop in a boat and enjoy fishing 255 acres in Lake Culpeper, known for largemouth bass, channel catfish, blueg ill and crappie. For those who must commute, it is an easy to access Charlottesville, Fredericksburg or Northern Virginia. Or, take a train to Union Station in DC. You’ll never run out of reasons to love living in Culpeper. Still known for its deep history, farming community and friendly, small-town charm, it was recently named “One of the Best Small Towns in Virginia” by Travel & Leisure. Culpeper is full of surprises, starting with the interesting restaurants and boutique shops lining Davis Street. For details about this extraordinary home, please ask for a complete brochure (and the video), but to fully appreciate the scenery and the graciousness of “Flent Cottage”, you will surely want to schedule a private tour!
