Property Description
***The Cabins on Ashby consist of a Main House with 3 bedrooms and 3 full baths, an oversized detached 2-bay garage with a room above, the Guest Cabin with 1 bedroom and 2.5 baths, the Tasting Room cabin with a half bath, the Studio with a deck that overlooks the creek, and a beautifully crafted covered bridge.
During their heyday The Cabins saw famous musicians come to jam on the porches. For a while the Smokehouse was VA's only meadery, serving excellent honey wine made with honey produced on site. The property's history goes back even further, with the actual age of some of the log buildings lost to time.
***Beaverdam Creek bounces over boulders and meanders its way melodiously between The Cabins. Spanning this sprightly stream is a remarkable covered footbridge that is an architectural work of art. In mid-span there is a table and built-in benches. Adding to the intrigue, a plexiglass panel allows one to spy on fish from above.
***The Main House is part log cabin and part Cape Cod with cedar siding and a standing-seem metal roof. The seemingly disparate halves are cleverly knitted together by a bright, airy entrance foyer just off the old-style front porch. The newer part of the home has an open floor plan with living, dining, and open kitchen area all flowing together. There is a chimney in the center with a wood stove in the kitchen and a fireplace in the living room. This part of the home has a main-floor bedroom and a full bath. The log cabin side has a cozy den with a flue for a wood stove, the perfect spot on a chilly winter evening.
***Just outside the kitchen door is a large covered porch that is ideal for outdoor entertaining. The porch leads out to a fenced back yard and an in-ground pool with a pleasing organic shape. Swim with the mountain laurel-covered hillside as your Blue Ridge Mountains backdrop.
***The upper floor boasts an owner's suite that encompasses the entire newer side of the home. This private space includes ample closets, a full bath, and an oversized bedroom with a fireplace and plenty of space for a seating area. The log cabin side has an additional bedroom featuring a hand-carved headboard made by local artist Peter Kramer, and a full bath with a claw-foot tub.
***The cozy Guest Cabin is also partially log and partially frame with a standing-seem metal roof and a rustic porch. It has a separate driveway and is currently being used as a rental. The main floor has a kitchen/dining area, a living area with a wood stove on a fieldstone hearth, and a convenient half bath. Upstairs there is another seating area and a bedroom with a full bath. Sunlight streams in the large windows and the sound of Beaverdam Creek serenades you from below.
***The third log building that makes up The Cabins is the former Tasting Room. Unlike the other buildings, the unusual Tasting Room sports a stunning thatched roof with decorated and shingled eaves. Once it was no longer being used for tastings, a remodel was planned but never completed. With existing plumbing, electricity and bathroom, The Tasting Room is ready for reinvention.
***The Studio is the most recently built structure and could be used in multiple ways. Perhaps an artist's work space or just an unusual storage building, it has a standing-seam roof and a beautiful, curved deck overlooking the creek.
***Steeped in charm and possibilities, The Cabins on Ashby are ready for you to write a new chapter in a long and interesting story.
