Nestled in a clearing on a hillside, encircled by gardens, Hydrangea Hill offers a perfect balance of history, nature, and serenity. Unparalleled views and privacy on 11+ acres are coupled with modern comfort with a view of Shenandoah National Park.Travel along scenic Riley Hollow Road, passing by farms, rock outcroppings, and wild forest. The road is lightly traveled with Shenandoah National Park just beyond the last property. Ascend the newly upgraded driveway to Hydrangea Hill and take in the sweeping view over Riley Hollow. The cottage, standing proudly on a fieldstone base, merges historic charm with modern spaces, featuring reclaimed 1840s logs and updated areas. Multiple decks, porches, and a shaded lawn provide ideal settings for outdoor relaxation year-round. Hydrangea Hill combines mountain views and total privacy in a truly rare retreat.Balancing history with modern comfort, coziness with light, the main floor invites gatherings with family and friends as much as it suits quiet afternoons reading in the sunlight beneath the window. Renovated in 2023, the bright country kitchen offers a bay window with valley views, a brick accent wall, and a soothing color palette inspired by nature. Solid-surface counters, a double sink, and a new range hood enhance functionality, while a clever dividing wall adds a spacious pantry with built-in shelves and storage baskets.Walk through to the living room and be transported to a completely different space, with a cozy fire and ancient log walls. Windows overlook the gardens and forest, while doors with screens on either side of the room allow in additional sunlight and breezes in the warmer months. The door to the front leads to the deck overlooking the front lawn and mountains beyond. The door to the back opens to the tiered porches and the gardens.The upstairs bedrooms provide two distinctive sleeping spaces whether one prefers the cozy embrace of log cabin living, or the sun streaming through the trees above the valley views. There is a full bath between these two bedrooms.The garden-level guest suite offers comfort and privacy, separated from the other living quarters, and has the added charm of a wood burning stove for extra coziness. French doors open out to the gardens. The suite includes a sitting room and a full bath. The laundry, with new washer and dryer, is on this level as well.Step outside and the beauty of Rappahannock County spreads out before you as trails meander up through your private forest. Escape into the forest’s embrace and discover rock outcroppings and secret views. Or wander down into the valley and visit your private stretch of Bearwallow Creek. Sit by the stream and let the sounds of the water rushing over rocks wash away all stresses. Each season brings new delights and discoveries to Hydrangea Hill.Hydrangea Hill is offered fully furnished, the work has been done, and the property is ready for a new chapter to be written.
