About This Property

AUBURN BLUFF ESTATE -GENERAL DESCRIPTION-

This beautiful country mini estate is on almost 4 acres that includes a main home of approximately 3,400 finished square feet on two levels, AND a separate 1,200 finished square foot detached accessory dwelling unit (ADU). The ADU has 2 separate addresses and contains a rentable 600 square foot, very accessible, full 1 bedroom apartment on the top level and has 2 office spaces below. The property also contains a large, enclosed workshop with a car port. The main house was built in 2013 and the ADU and workshop/car port were built in 2017.

The house was custom designed to be simple, accessible, and strong. It was custom built by a very experienced custom builder with many “extras” that we have listed and tagged throughout the Matterport 360 Tour in the listing. This home has no carpets and features hand scraped birch floors throughout the first floor, tile foyer and baths, and tremendous vault ceiling across the kitchen, keeping room, and great room. The owner's suite (with full laundry) in the Master Bath, and a 2nd bedroom with its own full bath are both on the main floor. Below, there are 3 nice sized bedrooms with large windows and 2 full baths with 2 living areas and a separate laundry area for the lower level. The back of the home has large glass windows that looks out over the bluff and down on beautiful Cedar Run Creek. The main home has a large outdoor deck (some of it is under a clear acrylic roof) that surrounds a 15’x30’ oval pool that is perfect to jump into after a day out in the yard or a cooling swim after a bike ride in the rolling countryside of eastern Fauquier County.

The accessory dwelling unit contains a 1-bedroom apartment that has no difficulty renting out to prime tenants at over $1,400/month. It is architecturally similar, yet down scaled, to the main home and contains a beautiful, vaulted ceiling throughout and has a large eat-in kitchen that ties into the living room with café colored kitchen cabinets, granite tops and stainless-steel appliances. The bathroom is spacious and contains a tiled shower with a full stacked laundry facility. Below you will find an at-grade finished office suite with large windows and a full private office with built-in cabinets and a comfortable conference room/2nd office, with a full bathroom.

The separate workshop/carport has power and lighting fixtures and lots of built-in shelving to hold tools or supplies for projects. There are gravel over fabric parking pads all around the lot that easily accommodate 25+ parked cars/ implements/trailers etc.

For those that want all the details, be sure to look for the 5 sections of tagged/ written detailed information in the 360 tour about all the features of this estate.

LOT DESCRIPTION-

This small estate is located in between Warrenton and Gainesville and about 13 miles to VRE station. Great public schools, 7 miles to hospital. The land is very private and beautiful high ground overlooking the Auburn Bluff and Cedar Run crossing made famous by the battle of Auburn in the civil war. Abundant wildlife- coon, rabbit, deer, bear, turkey, fox, owls, hawks, and bald eagles, all in wonderful mature hardwood forest. The nearly 4 acres (see fresh survey) has about 1.5 acres cleared and has a cleared walking path/ motocross trail around the lot with nice hill climbs and hairpin turns. There is a pull-off/ parking area at grade to Old Auburn Road, below the cliff face, that has underground 20-amp power and floodlight to it. This is convenient parking in winter if driveway is too steep or slippery. The primary driveway is marked by a new lighted stone and wood post address marker next to the seasonal stream. The paved and freshly graveled driveway is shared with one neighbor and the maintenance costs are split 50/50 per deeded easement agreement. The first turn off on the right is a non-shared auxiliary parking area. The first turn off to the left is non-shared access to the separate address office on the lower level of the ADU. The parking pad in this area is set up for RV parking with 50 amp and 30-amp shore power outlets, and convenient cold water and sewer connection to the oversized septic system. The drain-field has been well maintained and is capable/limited to handling a total property occupancy load/limit of 8 full time residents. The septic tank was pumped 4 years ago and will be pumped and inspected again by seller prior to settlement. The next turn off to the left is not shared with neighbor and is flanked with new stone headwalls and accesses the carport and workshop, main home, and the ADU apartment with its own address. The 1st 40’ past the headwalls is still shared driveway but becomes the neighbor’s private drive at the lot line. The well is over 300’ deep and has a great reserve column and produces more than 4 gallons per minute. The power is from NOVEC and is an underground 400-amp service to main home with 100-amp sub-panel to ADU and 20 amp underground circuit to the workshop. All private driveways and parking pads were installed with fabric under 21-A crushed stone. The swale lines were recently cleaned and re-graded and have been stabilized with an awesome forage crop and wildflower seeds. The main home has a brand new stained 3 board oak fence with wire fence liner around the back yard for pets and to keep the new massive terraced and raised garden beds with deep and real topsoil protected from critters. Much of the lawn areas are recently topsoiled with fresh fescue seed.
