1194 Chestnut Flats Road, Lewisburg, WV 24901 - Greenbrier County

Serenity Farm - Immaculate 3-bedroom, 2-bath home on 16.32-acre farm, with 4-bay garage, barn, hen house, guest cottage, fenced pastures and large pond. This inviting farm home has it all: an idyllic, relaxing setting, a contemporary kitchen with granite counters and an island, a spacious dining room with skylights and a sitting area, two fireplaces, a home office, a covered porch and stone patio, a hot tub, a 4-vehicle garage, a 5-stall barn with hayloft, majestic old growth trees, a guest cottage, and even a fishing pond with windmill aeration.

Located in northern Greenbrier County, an attractive rural area with family farms, rolling pastures, winding country lanes and spectacular scenery, this beautiful small farm captures the essence of Almost Heaven. The comfortable 2-story home, built in 1920, has been totally renovated and modernized. The front porch faces a quiet, shady country road where the main soundtrack is provided by Mother Nature.

A gravel driveway leads from the road to the home and its spacious garage. The house is sided with cement fiberboard, which looks like wood but resists insect and weather damage, and it has a metal roof. A rear entry from the stone patio opens to the large foyer, with tile flooring laid in a herringbone pattern.

The foyer leads to the kitchen, which features white cabinetry, attractive granite counters with a stainless-steel farmhouse sink, wainscoting and recessed lighting. The GE Profile appliances include a refrigerator with a freezer drawer, an electric range with a glass cooktop and 2 ovens, a wall-mounted microwave and a dishwasher. The refrigerator has a surprising feature: the ability to brew a cup of hot coffee at the push of a button! The adjacent dining room has attractive stone flooring. This vaulted ceiling room is exceptionally large for a dining area, with two skylights and a cozy sitting nook with a stacked stone fireplace and wood mantel. French doors open from the dining room to the yard.

The living room is divided from the kitchen by a pass-through counter, which separates the spaces while leaving an open feeling. Like most of the home, the living room has original hardwood flooring. The room's focal point is a stacked stone fireplace with a wood mantel similar to the fireplace in the dining room but grander in size. Both fireplaces are wood-burning and come with screens and fireplace tools.

There is a corner bedroom on the main level, accessed via the living room or a barn-style sliding door in the foyer. This bedroom has an en suite bath with wainscoting, a herringbone tile floor, a shower and a pedestal sink.

The laundry room is also on the main level, artfully concealed behind another barn-style sliding door. The washer and dryer are GE Profile appliances.

A wood staircase leads to the upper level, with two bedrooms, a shared bath and a third small bedroom or office. The master bedroom overlooks the farm and pond. It has a ceiling fan, a walk-in closet, built-in cabinetry and a large window seat with handy storage compartments. The master bath features a tiled shower-tub and two vanities fashioned from ornate antique dressers that have been creatively retrofitted with quartz counters and sinks. The second bedroom is a large corner room with plenty of closet and shelf space. The third room on the upper level is smaller, but perfect for a home office, reading nook, craft area, or even a spacious walk-in closet.

The home's exterior features a large columned porch overlooking the tree-shaded front yard, and a stone patio in the rear, overlooking the farm. A hot tub on the patio conveys with the property.

Other buildings include a detached garage large enough to accommodate 4 vehicles, a barn with 5 stalls and a hayloft (and water and electricity), a hen house, an outbuilding for storing lawn equipment and firewood, and a guest cottage. A short stroll from the home, the cottage has a pleasing exterior and good bones but needs interior remodeling.

A Generac whole-house generator provides emergency power for the home and other buildings.

The farm is fenced and cross-fenced, suitable for horses, sheep, goats or alpacas. Another noteworthy feature is its large fishing pond, which has a windmill-driven aeration system that enhances oxygen levels and reduces algae. The pastures and pond are bordered by wooded acreage with a mix of old growth hardwoods.

A classic small farm updated with modern conveniences, this beautiful country property enjoys a peaceful location far from the hustle and bustle, but a relatively short drive from shopping and services. Nearby attractions include historic and charming Lewisburg, with art galleries, food-themed street festivals and a literary festival; the annual State Fair of West Virginia; The Greenbrier, a world-class luxury resort on 11,000 acres; and ready access to the 75-mile Greenbrier River Trail, popular with hikers and cyclists. Fishing, hunting, kayaking and canoeing opportunities abound.
