8459 NORTHWESTERN PIKE, GORE, VA 22637

This charming log home is on a secluded lot surrounded by gorgeous, mature trees, making it a veritable slice of paradise. Aptly named Skywood, you’ll get a dose of both sky and woods in this natural haven. The exterior details like stonework and railing sunbursts flanking a house-long front porch add to its appeal. Inside, the charisma continues with the majestic, wide stone fireplace, abundance of wood from floor toceiling, and the comforting, homey feel of the layout. It opens to a great room, which is adjacent to an expansive kitchen featuring walls of cabinetry, long countertops, and a dining set-up under exposed beams. Two bedrooms and a full bath complete this floor, making one-level living an option. The upstairs loft offers the perfect spot for relaxing, reading, or entertainment and segues to the spacious primary suite with vaulted ceilings, sunburst windows, a walk-in closet, and a sizeable, attached full bath. Headdownstairs for more entertainment space, laundry facilities, a mudroom, and easy access to the garage/workshop. There is still so much more to this property, including several outbuildings: a detached garage, a five-bay woodshed, an outdoor materials shed, a large dry shed for additional storage, and an astronomy observatory structure with a roll- on/off roof. There’s even a hobby sawmill, covered wood drying rack, and kindling crib. Want even more? How about 1.5 miles of UTV-wide trails to access the property, including a jogging loop with workout/relaxation benches, and even a trail to the bottom of the pole line area that allows for skiing. Another section holds an archery range, firepit, picnic area, and swing. You might worry about technology, but that’s covered too with Starlink internet and EERO mesh wifi. There’s also ADT with smart home devices, and Blink cameras for racking wildlife. This home has not only been meticulously maintained but has received massive updates and upgrades (such as the roof, log exterior, appliances, HVAC, and more). And while it feels remote, it’s right off Route 50, not far from essential amenities, and every road is paved. Enjoy unrestricted acreage with plenty of deer and turkeys, mature oaks, maples and a pine forest.  This is truly a remarkable property with so much to offer the lucky recipients who make it theirs.
