Here is your very own private patch of woods right outside Historic Shepherdstown! Owned and redesigned by a local architect whose reason for purchase was the exceptional quality of the build. From the moment you enter, it's easy to embrace the complete open concept and exquisite craftmanship that built this one of a kind home. From Pella Architectural windows and doors, gleaming hardwood floors, granite counters, and impressive views, this home is sure to please. Imagine soaking up your own private oasis on any one of the 4 exterior porches, or soaking in the Master Bath tub with an unending view of the mountains. Harvest your own fruits from the wide variety on the property and make your own jams, jellies, or desserts. The newly constructed garage offers many amenities to a car enthusiast, complete with a storage loft above. Located close to the Appalachia Train, C & O Canal, and the Potomac River, outdoor activities outside of your Patch are easily accessible. Located within a quick drive to Shepherd University and Downtown Shepherdstown. Commuting distance to Maryland and the DC area. Looking for a one of a kind, custom home? This one is it!
Beautiful custom-build! Get this one while you are able! Quality & craftsmanship are everywhere in this home. Owner built and has been constructed for fine living and to last. 5.5 acres of beauty, peace and quiet. View the mountains from the backyard or enjoy nature in the front on the large front porches, upper and main levels. Wonderfully private and no thru street.

Rural (Agricultural) District
The purpose of this district is to provide a location for low density single family residential development in conjunction with providing continued farming activities. This district is generally not served with public water or sewer facilities although certain size developments processed under the cluster provision of Section 5.7D(2) may choose to do so. A primary function of the low density residential development permitted within this section is to preserve the rural character of the County and the agricultural community. All lots subdivided in the Rural District are subject to Section 5.7D. The Envision Jefferson 2035 Comprehensive Plan recommends that the cluster provision of the Zoning Ordinance be the preferred method of residential development in the Rural zoning district.
