269 RIVER MANOR DRIVE

FRONT ROYAL, VA 22630

With over 1,000 feet of frontage on the North Fork of the Shenandoah River, this 55-acre property offers a balanced mix of open pasture and mature woodland. In 2017, the current owners constructed a custom home designed to complement the setting, supported by additional structures including a renovated 19th-century bank barn guest house, a detached three-bay garage, and a separate tractor barn. The residence was built to exacting standards using 2x6 framing, stone and HardiePlank siding, custom exterior doors, and locally milled hardwood flooring installed by Cochran’s of Berryville using lumber harvested from the property. The home offers 3,174 square feet of above-grade finished living space with three bedrooms, two full and two half baths, and a layout that places all primary living areas on the main level. An unfinished lower level provides approximately 850 square feet of storage with potential for future finishing, along with an additional one-car garage. Antique doors sourced from around the world are incorporated throughout the home. The gourmet kitchen features a wood-topped center island and tumbled stone tile flooring, opening to a sitting area with wood-burning stove. This space flows directly to a deep, full-width, northeast-facing covered porch with elevated views of the river and surrounding mountains. Quality fixtures and fittings are used throughout, including William Morris wallpaper in select rooms. A three-car side-load attached garage is complemented by a 40’ x 24’ detached three-bay garage suitable for equipment and storage. The 60’ x 30’ tractor barn, with an attached mechanicals room, offers flexible space for a variety of future uses. Just below the porch, a tiered outdoor entertaining terrace includes an expansive concrete patio, integrated stone seating, landscaped beds, and a substantial wood-burning masonry fireplace set against a private wooded backdrop. The 19th-century bank barn, served by its own well and septic system, has been converted into guest accommodations featuring a kitchen, raised stage, two bedrooms, cathedral beamed ceilings, and a mezzanine gallery spanning much of the open interior. A private riverfront property with acreage, multiple structures, and broad scenic views, located just over an hour from Washington, D.C.
