Property Description
Up on a ridge just outside of the town of Shepherdstown & along the Potomac River, there is a small, peaceful enclave of homes in the subdivision of Potomac Ridge. Potomac Ridge is a 10-lot neighborhood with 7 homes & community spaces along both the Potomac River to the front & an idyllic creek/stream to the back. This is a river-access community w/a very rudimentary & natural waterfront area for fishing, swimming, sunrise/sunset/wildlife watching, & picnicking. Up on the ridge, this stunning passive-solar, strawbale, lime-rendered residence is the perfect combination of environmentally friendly, efficient, rural, serene, & GORGEOUS. Designed by Sigi Koko, a pre-eminent east coast strawbale architect, & built in 2022, this home is the best of both worlds- 4 years new, & lived in gently so all facets are fine tuned, in terrific shape, and quite functional. The stunning interior offers an attractive blend of modern luxury & sustainable living. Think "Hippie, Chic, & Elegant!" Spanning 1,750 square feet, this meticulously crafted home showcases exceptional design & workmanship, making it a unique gem in a picturesque setting. Once parked, walk through the large front screened-in porch, w/ceiling fans & plenty of space to sit & relax. Inside, you are greeted by an open floor plan integrating living, dining, & kitchen areas, creating an inviting atmosphere perfect for winding down or entertaining. This home includes exquisite solid locally-sourced hardwood floors, ceramic tile in the baths/mud room/entry way, lime-rendered parging of walls, and tons of light to enhance the home's elegance. The gourmet kitchen is a chef's dream, boasting upgraded countertops, stainless steel appliances, and a spacious island that invites culinary creativity. Cathedral ceilings in this area, recessed lighting, pendant lighting, wall sconces, & built-ins add sophistication & warmth. The living room has a faux fireplace & mantle between the built-ins & the current owners use biofuel cans in winter for a little warmth & a lot of ambiance. In the summer, they place plants/candles to dress it up beautifully. The light & bright primary suite features a spa-like bathroom complete w/soaking tub, walk-in shower, & almost all recycled fixtures/components, creating a tranquil retreat w/a lower environmental impact. Two more bright bedrooms, w/a full bath in between, offer ample space for residents, guests, or home office/hobby areas. The thoughtful layout includes all entry-level bedrooms for comfort, access, & convenience. Open all three 8ft tall doors to a rear deck, (also accessed by the primary and 2nd bedroom) to double the entertaining space. Outside, the property is set on a 3.17-acre wooded lot, w/hardscaping, landscaping, & expansive outdoor spaces for incredible outdoor experiences. Tucked in the back of the property is a YURT! Yes, a yurt! It sits on a platform so you are in nature w/out having to be IN nature, including picnic table area for fun nights of glamping! Additional structures include a small greenhouse, an insulated shed w/electric service, & the attached carport offers versatile storage solutions. This home is not only a sanctuary but also a model of sustainability, featuring straw bale construction & nearly all recycled materials throughout. The energy-efficient appliances & water treatment system further enhance its eco-friendly appeal. This home is an ideal retreat for outdoor enthusiasts. The property is situated in a cul-de-sac, ensuring privacy & minimal traffic, while the scenic vistas of the surrounding mountains & wooded areas provide a breathtaking backdrop. With convenient parking options, a rough-in for an electric car charging station, an attached carport & circular driveway, this residence combines luxury, sustainability, & a prime location, making it a rare find in today's market. Experience the perfect blend of modern living & natural beauty in this exquisite & rare Potomac Ridge home.
