This nearly 2,400 sf remarkably PRIVATE & PEACEFUL four bedroom ''treehouse'' (with 2 car garage and full unfinished walkout basement offering a potential 1,100+ finished sf) is situated on 5 VIEW-FILLED acres (Shenandoah River and Blue Ridge Mountain views from nearly every window). This setting truly feels like a fairy… Read More tale and it is no wonder why the seller calls the property her ''treehouse'' (she custom built it to capitalize on views and privacy yet provide easy access). Located just 1 mile down Browntown Road, the nicely paved little-known Cardinal Wind Drive (yes, birdwatchers will delight) boasts only two houses (the other home is at the far end and can't be seen) and is tucked at the base of the Shenandoah National Park with nature as its neighbor.
