Property Description

Nestled in the sought-after gated community of High Knob, this meticulously maintained mountain retreat offers the perfect balance of peaceful nature and everyday convenience. Ideally located in the lower portion of the community for easy access in and out, this home is surrounded by a beautiful, serene mountain setting with abundant wildlife and breathtaking Blue Ridge scenery, while remaining just minutes from I-66 and downtown Front Royal. Known as the northern gateway to Shenandoah National Park and the iconic Skyline Drive, Front Royal has become a premier destination for outdoor enthusiasts who come to hike, fish, kayak, explore local vineyards, and experience the world-famous Appalachian Trail. The town’s charm and spectacular setting recently gained international attention when King Charles III and Queen Camilla visited Front Royal during their 2026 U.S. tour, highlighting the area’s unique beauty and small-town appeal. The light-filled and welcoming main level is thoughtfully designed for both comfortable living and effortless entertaining. The spacious living room features elegant French doors that open to the maintenance-free Trex deck, creating seamless indoor-outdoor living and the perfect space to relax or host guests. The eat-in kitchen and formal dining room offer inviting areas for everyday meals and special occasions alike. Three bedrooms are conveniently located on the main level, including a private primary suite situated on its own side of the home. The spa-like ensuite bath includes a soaking tub, separate walk-in shower, and large vanity, creating a peaceful retreat at the end of the day. The lower level offers incredible versatility with two large bonus rooms ideal for working from home, creative projects, a home gym, guest accommodations, or additional recreation space. A laundry area and convenient half bath complete the lower level. The expansive attic provides exceptional storage space and offers exciting potential to be finished into additional living space, giving this home even more room to grow. Outside, the large yard offers plenty of room for outdoor fun, gardening, or simply enjoying the peaceful surroundings. The side-load two-car garage adds both convenience and curb appeal, while the Trex deck provides the perfect place to unwind and take in the natural beauty of the setting. A recent $15k investment into the Septic Tank, including a septic scrub, new pipes, and installation of new peat moss/ coconut husks, ensure peace of mind for many years to come. Residents of High Knob enjoy private access to the Appalachian Trail, scenic neighborhood walking trails, a clubhouse, swimming pool, tennis and pickleball courts, and a playground — all surrounded by some of the most spectacular views in Northern Virginia. Perfectly positioned in the northern Shenandoah Valley, Front Royal sits between the Blue Ridge Mountains and the Massanutten Range, where the North and South Forks of the Shenandoah River converge, earning the town its reputation as the Canoe Capital of Virginia. Located just about an hour from Washington, D.C., you can spend the day enjoying world-class museums, dining, theater, and entertainment before returning home in time for dinner at your own private mountain retreat.
