A meticulously crafted modern getaway nestled in the heart of the Shenandoah Valley, Ember Haus offers an exceptional blend of contemporary design, high-end finishes, and outdoor charm — already proven as a top-tier short-term rental with outstanding guest reviews. Newly built and Scandinavian-inspired, this thoughtfully designed home radiates light and calm from every corner. Vaulted ceilings, custom wood beams, and dramatic black pine sliding glass doors and casement windows create an airy, expansive feel that lives far larger than its footprint. The floor plan was intentionally designed for both relaxation and functionality, maximizing sight lines, natural light, and flow between spaces. The open-concept living area features a Heat & Glo SL7 propane fireplace and connects seamlessly to a modern kitchen with custom cabinetry, quartz countertops, island seating, and stainless ENERGY STAR appliances including a counter-depth refrigerator, Gallery dishwasher with third rack, and Gallery slide-in electric range with convection and air fry. An LG WashTower provides energy-efficient laundry convenience. Mechanical upgrades include a Carrier 1.5-ton heat pump and Clack C-Series neutralizer with 24,000-grain water softener system. Set on 13 private acres, the property offers exceptional versatility — ideal for creating trails, recreational use, hunting (buyer to verify local regulations), or exploring potential subdivision opportunities (subject to county approval). The immediate homesite includes a fully fenced backyard, patio, and fire pit, making it equally appealing for personal enjoyment or guest experience. Located within walking distance to Lake Arrowhead Recreation Area and just minutes to Luray Caverns, downtown Luray (approximately 10 minutes), and Shenandoah National Park’s Thornton Gap entrance (approximately 12 minutes), the home offers both privacy and accessibility. Currently operating as a highly successful short-term rental, this property conveys with an established reputation and future bookings in place (subject to platform transfer policies), providing immediate income continuity for the next owner. This home is more than a beautiful retreat — it is a turnkey, income-producing asset with proven demand in one of Virginia’s most desirable outdoor destinations. Furnishings negotiable.

An existing well and septic are already in place on this almost 14-acre property with public road frontage, no HOA, and outstanding elevated views of Lake Arrowhead and the Shenandoah National Park. This property offers a secluded getaway location, yet is close to all that downtown Luray has to offer. Mature trees shade a cleared, ready-to-build on homesite making this the perfect place for your cabin, short-term rental, or forever home. In addition to having a well and septic, a driveway is already in place, electricity is on site, and a new survey has been completed. Hunting is allowed and so are short-term vacation rentals. Division into two parcels may be possible under the current zoning code, which if completed may allow four separate rental units to be constructed (two primary residences and two guesthouses). Do not miss this great property in the Blue Ridge Mountains that is ready for you to build on TODAY!
