If you love horses or simply want the quiet country life, this picturesque small farm in Montpelier is for you. The location offers a rare blend of rural charm with convenient access to Ashland, Short Pump and Goochland. This 4.7-acre pastoral gem was part of Mill Creek Farm circa 1850, and is situated in a private enclave of dozens of acres. For your horses, there are two fenced pastures with abundant grass, a fenced paddock with run-in shed and a tack room. The paddock has water and electricity and a nearby riding ring. The recently renovated 2,650 sq. ft. farmhouse boasts two large porches where you can watch spectacular sunsets, deer strolling through the fields, and herons flying over a nearby pond. Bluebirds, butterflies, goldfinches and hummingbirds visit the wildflower garden. Inside the house, you’ll find a bright, spacious kitchen and dining area with beadboard paneling, granite countertops, farmhouse sink, new flooring, stainless steel appliances and more. The enormous living room boasts a white brick fireplace with woodstove insert, framed by gleaming wood paneling. An intricately crafted walnut bar with matching framed mirror provides an elevated aura of hospitality for your guests. The home also features high ceilings, original heart pine staircase and heart pine floors. There are four bedrooms with one being used as an office, plenty of closet space, and three and a half baths. A new 25x30ft. garage offers plenty of space for a workshop, storage or other needs. Additional upgrades include new Pella windows and a whole house generator with propane tank. Two outbuildings can be used for storage or even an art studio. A new 65×65 ft. pen in the backyard offers plenty of play space for pets and kids. Gardeners will have abundant plots for growing vegetables, herbs and flowers. With all the amenities and ambiance of the farm comes the extra benefit of having very nice neighbors. This listing is an exceptional opportunity to own a “little piece of Heaven” in Hanover.
