Located in a pristine country setting 15 minutes from the Greenbrier County town of Alderson, the home fronts on a level pasture offering unobstructed views of the surrounding farmland and mountains. A mixed hardwood and evergreen forest covers 60% of the property, which includes fenced pastures, hiking and riding trails, a winding creek and two private ponds.
A country road and lane lead to the gated farm. The simple, modernistic lines of the home and matching guest cottage, and the large solar panel array behind them announce that this isn't a traditional rural property. The home's walls utilize hempcrete, a unique breathable material that is mold and rot resistant, and the exterior walls are finished with an attractive earth-tone stucco. The roof has architectural shingles. A large carport with recessed lighting is incorporated in the structure.
The home's rear entry from the carport opens to a mudroom, and then to the great room. 10-foot ceilings, 7-foot doors and the generous use of windows give the spacious interior a light, airy look, further enhanced by ceiling fans and polished concrete floors.
The kitchen has granite counters, custom cherry cabinetry and recessed lighting. Appliances include a Hisense refrigerator and a Whirlpool gas range (propane) with a hooded vent. The kitchen area flows into the living/family room, which has a large built-in shelf unit. The ceiling includes a vent for a woodstove, although there isn't one in place presently. The great room opens to a sunroom with a slate floor, and a covered porch, a perfect spot for outdoor dining, relaxing and enjoying the breathtaking panoramic scenery.
The great room is flanked on either side by bedrooms with ceiling fans and ensuite bathrooms. The master suite, which has double doors opening to the sunroom and adjacent porch, includes a spacious walk-in closet, and the bath has a soaking tub. The second bedroom opens to its own covered porch. This bath has a tiled shower.
The mudroom/entryway has a laundry room on one side and a utility room on the other. The laundry is equipped with GE appliances and a utility sink. The utility room includes a tankless hot water heater, a geothermal hydraulic heat pump, and a geothermal water supply expansion tank, and has controls for the Kohler backup propane generator.
The guest cottage is only a few steps from the home and resembles it architecturally. It has an open living/kitchen/sleeping area with a polished concrete floor, recessed lighting and ceiling fan. The kitchen has an eat-at granite counter with a double stainless-steel sink. Appliances include a Hisense refrigerator and a Whirlpool gas range (propane) with a hooded vent. The bathroom has a tiled shower. The cottage has its own private covered porch and enjoys the same magnificent pastoral views as the main house.
Constructed for energy efficiency, with an R-value of 30, and with sensitivity for the natural environment, this exceptional home offers privacy, tranquility, and the ease of one-level living. The surrounding pastures, woodlands and stocked ponds are suitable for farming, livestock, hiking, fishing, hunting and other outdoor activities.
Nearby Alderson is a picturesque riverfront town with a seasonal farmer's market, a walking path along the Greenbrier River and a major Fourth of July celebration. The property is a half-hour from the Greenbrier County seat of Lewisburg. Historic, charming Lewisburg has shopping, fine dining and an ambitious year-round schedule of annual events including the State Fair of West Virginia, Taste of Our Towns, the Lewisburg Chocolate Festival and the Lewisburg Literary Festival. The Greenbrier Valley Theatre, West Virginia's official state theatre, presents year-round live theatre, and well-known and rising stars appear on stage and in lawn concerts at Carnegie Hall.
The Greenbrier resort in White Sulphur Springs, 40 minutes away, is one of the world's top luxury destinations. Encompassing 11,000 acres, the resort's offerings include multiple golf courses, a spa, a tennis complex, a private casino, over 50 boutique shops, an art colony and a dozen restaurants.
The nearby Greenbrier River draws anglers and kayakers, and the 77-mile Greenbrier River Trail paralleling the river is popular with hikers and cyclists. Snowshoe Ski Resort, the largest ski complex in the Mid-Atlantic States, is a scenic 2-hour drive on country roads to the north.
The Greenbrier Valley Airport, a half-hour away, offers daily direct flights to Charlotte.
One of the "greenest" homes in the Greenbrier Valley, and probably the entire state, this comfortable, solidly-built, energy efficient home enjoys spectacular panoramic views, abundant wildlife and a very private location.
