Schuylark presents an exceptional opportunity to own a secluded personal retreat nestled in the picturesque foothills of Central Virginia's serene Blue Ridge Mountains. Serving as the residence to the founders of the neighboring Quarry Gardens at Schuyler, a renowned 40-acre botanical garden, this land has been under the care and stewardship of naturalists and land management professionals for more than two decades. Once owned by the Alberene Soapstone Company, the 540-acre property features varied topology and fascinating geology. The house sits on a 400-acre parcel that is under conservation and enjoys a panoramic view over the 9-acre lake and up to the mountains. The home has an informal charm, designed for the comfort of its owners as well as for guests and entertaining. Wildlife enthusiasts will appreciate the abundance of deer, black bears, and more than 100 species of birds. With almost a mile of Rockfish River frontage and over 10 miles of well-maintained paths, roads, and trails, Schuylark provides endless opportunities for hiking, hunting, birding, fishing, mountain biking and related naturalist pursuits.,Wood Cabinets,Wood Counter,Fireplace in Dining Room,Fireplace in Living Room
