Gorgeous cabin in the woods that you'll be sure to fall in love with! This adorable 2 bedroom, 1 bath, 2 level cabin built in 1952 sits on approximately . 7407 mostly wooded acres. Although 12000 Mente Rd has some fantastic upgrades, this beautiful cabin still maintains its original charm with original hardwood floors, pine paneling, and the woodburning stone fireplace. Relax on those snowy days by the fireplace with some hot chocolate or outside on your deck or patio playing cornhole and BBQing with friends. Enjoy being surrounded by nature yet so close to major commuting routes (234, 66, and 95) and conveniences such as restaurants, grocery stores, dog parks, and walking trails.

DOMESTIC FOWL OVERLAY DISTRICT
CHESAPEAKE BAY PRESERVATION AREA OVERLAY DISTRICT
Agricultural District
The A-1, Agricultural Zoning District is intended to implement the agricultural or estate classification of the Comprehensive Plan. The district is designed to encourage conservation and proper use of large tracts of real property in order to assure available sources of agricultural products, to assure open spaces within reach of concentrations of population, to conserve natural resources, prevent erosion, and protect the environment; and to assure adequate water supplies. The intent is to encourage private land owners to protect these values and thereby create an environment favorable for the continuation farming and other agricultural pursuits; to preserve prime agricultural land, forest land and/or open space; and to reduce the demand for costly public facilities and services that are inconsistent with the character of the rural areas within Prince William County.
