Set on 10 private acres with established trails and meaningful frontage along the Newfound River, this custom Cape Cod offers a rare combination of first-floor living, outdoor recreation, and long-term land value in western Hanover County. A covered front porch with Trex decking introduces a home defined by craftsmanship & thoughtful design. The main level is anchored by a private primary suite featuring an ensuite bath and elevated balcony overlooking professionally landscaped grounds, while two additional bedrooms and a shared bath are positioned on the opposite wing for functional separation. Vaulted and tray ceilings enhance the living spaces, while a propane fireplace connects the family room & sunroom, creating a warm, cohesive gathering area. The kitchen is positioned to capture natural light through a bay window overlooking gardens and wooded surroundings. The property distinguishes itself through its connection to the outdoors. A sunroom transitions to a screened porch & deck, while the walk-out basement, complete with a private bath, opens to a spacious patio below. Beyond the immediate homesite, over 1 mile of walking/ATV private trails wind throughout the acreage, leading to the river’s edge where kayaking, fishing, and quiet waterfront use are seamlessly integrated into daily life. The full walk-out basement provides flexibility for a home gym, workshop, recreation space, or future finished living area, supporting a wide range of lifestyle needs. Additional features include an attached two-car garage, whole-house generator, circular driveway, and detached storage shed. Located approximately 15 minutes from Ashland, the property offers convenient access to Interstate travel, rail service, dining, and shopping while maintaining a true sense of privacy. Properties offering usable acreage, private trail systems, and direct river access in Hanover County are increasingly limited. This offering represents a compelling opportunity for buyers seeking space, recreation, and a more intentional way of living.
