Property Description

Frog Hill is the ultimate country retreat. A cozy house, dramatic views, your own river to explore, and complete privacy. Frog Hill has all this and more. Barns for hobbies or livestock, garden areas to cultivate, and miles of trails to meander while enjoying the views and river frontage. From every vantage point there is a masterpiece of nature to drink in. Inside you can sit beside the cozy woodstove and watch the snow fall over the mountains in winter, or sit on the back porch to enjoy the summer breezes while the sun sets. Residence Built in the 1980s by accomplished woodworker, the house sits nestled amongst gardens and barn and two small outbuildings. The simple structure is solidly built and features a soaring two story post and beam living room. French doors lead to a patio with views. The back porch also has excellent views. The house has an efficiently engineered metal roof and cedar shake siding for low maintenance. Lawns around the house are planted with specimen trees. Spring bulbs (primarily daffodils) are underplanted along the house and at various focal points nearby. There is a fenced kitchen garden with small garden shed with greenhouse attachment for potting and tool storage. Specimen trees and shrubs surround the garden areas. Open fields below the house afford 180 degree views of the Blue Ridge mountains from the Cobbler Mountains to the north to Mary’s Rock to the south. There are outstanding and very private pastoral and mountain views in every direction. Approximately 10 acres of open fields (no fencing) dotted with dogwoods lead down to woodlands that cascade down to the river. Trails cut through the woods down to the river and to various granite cliffs above the river. River frontage on the Rappahannock is nearly a mile in length. The river frontage is an intensely private mix of swimming holes, granite cliffs, and gentle sandy bottomed river. The river provides excellent fishing and is stocked by VA Fish and Wildlife. Woodlands are a mix of tulip poplars (predominating), oak, hickory, virginia pine, dogwoods and redbuds. A finer mix of views, river and privacy cannot be found anywhere else.
