This nearly 6-acre private sanctuary offers the perfect blend of lifestyle and location. Start your mornings with birdsong on the front porch rocker and end your days with sunsets from the spacious back deck. Just a mile from Aquia Creek and the Potomac River, you'll have easy access to Hope Springs Marina, Freedom Boat Club, and Aquia Boat Storage for endless recreation and relaxation.

Inside, over 5,250 sq ft of custom chalet-style living awaits, crafted from kiln-dried Southland timber with 6x9 profile logs that resist rot and insects, and insulation equivalent to R39 for lasting efficiency. The flexible layout includes two upper-level offices that can convert to bedrooms, plus a main-level playroom with closet and full bath-ideal for an in-law suite or private guest space.

Conveniently located minutes from I-95, VRE, shopping, and top-rated schools, it's perfect for military families stationed at Quantico, Fort Belvoir, or Joint Base Andrews. Recent upgrades from 2021-2025 include dual HVAC units, a tankless water heater, two refrigerators, microwave, septic system and water purification, remodeled bathrooms, carpet replacement, smart/motion lighting, tree work, log treatment, and fence repairs.

A 24x40-foot barn with attic trusses adds 600-700 sq ft of versatile space for work, storage, or creative projects in this agricultural/residential zone. The property offers a 2.99% assumable VA loan on the remaining balance, potentially saving tens of thousands in interest. The seller has just installed a new drainfield, which required removing several trees and temporarily taking down the wooden fence, now in the process of being reinstalled along with clearing the dead trees.
