Raphine, Augusta County, Virginia
Nestled on over 240+ acres with breathtaking landscape on the western edge of the Shenandoah Valley, this extraordinary estate offers a rare opportunity to own a versatile property with multiple dwellings and panoramic views of rolling pastures. The centerpiece is a custom-built LINDAL home, constructed in 2001, which spans over 2,400 square feet. Designed for comfort and elegance, it features an expansive deck for watching sunrises, a magnificent fireplace made from local stone, and an open floor plan that seamlessly blends living spaces. The home includes two spacious bedrooms, two and a half baths, and a professional-grade kitchen.
The property also boasts four fully equipped guest cottages, perfect for long- or short-term stays, and previously used as Airbnb rentals. Guests can choose to stay in the charming restored Spring House with a fireplace, full kitchen, and a built-in spring, or the rustic Granary, which features an open floor plan, full kitchen, and a deck with sweeping views of the pastures.
Additionally, a well-maintained bank barn with an upper-level apartment offers stunning views and a large kitchen. The barn's lower level includes stalls for horses and is adjacent to three paddocks, complete with water hydrants and electric connections for tank heaters. There’s also a spacious dog pen with a concrete floor.
Recreational opportunities abound with a stocked pond for fishing, wildlife viewing, and access to local attractions such as the Virginia Military Institute (VMI), Washington and Lee University (W&L), Southern Virginia University (SVU), The Virginia Horse Center, and nearby vineyards. Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate the proximity to the George Washington National Forest, the Maury and James Rivers, and the scenic Goshen Pass, which offer endless opportunities for hiking and exploration.
