Property Description

At the end of a quarter-mile gravel driveway, where open fields give way to mature woods and the sounds of nature replace the pace of daily life, a rare slice of rural Virginia awaits! Introducing 17254 Summer Meadow Road in Beaverdam! This charming 1936 farmhouse sits on approximately 61.5 acres of rolling countryside, offering history, privacy and agricultural opportunity aplenty. Positioned near the back corner of the property, the 2-bed, 1-bath home enjoys a peaceful setting surrounded by a landscape that has been carefully stewarded for generations. Roughly half of the acreage consists of open farmland currently supporting crops, while the remaining acreage is wooded, creating a diverse environment for recreation, wildlife observation and farming pursuits. A farm road connects one side of the property to the other, while a walking trail winds through the landscape toward a quiet creek, which borders the southern property line. Wildlife sightings are a regular occurrence here. Deer, wild turkey, foxes and groundhogs frequently make appearances, and the evening soundtrack often includes the distant call of owls from the surrounding woods. An existing farmland lease may transfer to the next owner, providing an opportunity to continue the property's agricultural heritage! Dating to the early 1900's, the home retains much of its historic character while benefiting from thoughtful updates. Freshly painted yellow wood siding, bright white trim and hunter green shutters create a classic farmhouse appearance, complemented by a historic stone foundation and a welcoming front porch with pressure-treated decking replaced last year. A smaller covered rear porch offers an additional place to relax and take in the surrounding scenery. Inside, the single-level floor plan balances vintage charm with modern convenience. Heart pine floors run through much of the home, while the former screened porch has been transformed into an insulated mudroom with updated finishes and durable flooring. The living room showcases a traditional fireplace, mantel and built-in details that speak to the home's history. Toward the rear of the home, the dining area flows into an updated kitchen featuring new sage-green cabinetry, butcher block countertops, new appliances and updated fixtures. The bathroom has also been refreshed with a marble-topped vanity, new faucet and built-in linen storage. Recent improvements include a new heat pump, attic insulation and water heater, providing added comfort and efficiency. Two storage sheds, including one newly constructed building, offer ample space for equipment, hobbies and tools. With this location, Lake Anna adventures are within 15 minutes; both I-95 and I-64 access are within 30 minutes; and grocery/dining/shopping selections await within 15 minutes. Whether you're seeking a small farm, hunting retreat, weekend escape or full-time residence surrounded by total nature, 17254 Summer Meadow Road lets you embrace country living on a remarkable scale!
