Ravenswyck                                                                photos         description        history

Few properties exude the charm of this private wooded compound in the Shenandoah Valley just west of Winchester, Virginia. The historic log home built in 1827 has been fully renovated with custom-designed spaces and details, and includes a generous, jetted bathtub under skylight, and a library mezzanine with window seat deep enough for dreaming. The adjacent guest house has its own signature style with open rafters and birch flooring and offers income potential through Airbnb or VRBO. Surrounding the residences are 12.56 private wooded acres with creeks, perennial gardens, goldfish pond, vegetable garden, and small cemetery. Outbuildings include art studio, potting shed, and rustic wood shop. There is a feeling of seclusion as soon as one turns into the driveway, yet Ravenswyck is located only ten minutes from restaurants, shopping and other conveniences, and three miles from a regional medical center. Dulles airport is just over an hour's drive. Ravenswyck hasn't been sold on the market in over 100 years, and it has been featured in the Washington Post and the New York Times. Because of its inconspicuous history and setting, the county's tax assessment has remained low, which translates into very affordable property taxes.  Select artwork available for sale.
