14348 Horseshoe Ford Road , Ashland, VA 23005(Hanover County)

Beautifully sited on Stagg's Creek, this exceptional property was created using materials from a dismantled 18th century tavern from Buckingham County. Known as the Raleigh Tavern and purportedly visited by Thomas Jefferson, the combination of its hand hewn beams and pine plank flooring with modern craftsmanship make this inviting home wonderfully liveable today. The main house offers tall ceilings, rooms of gracious scale, a custom kitchen,updated baths, geothermal heating and cooling, a private owner'ssuite on the second floor and an English basement with 2 bedrooms and 2 additional rooms with dramatic views. Updates include fresh paint inside and out, Nest thermostats and Comcast to the house. Once an artist's complex, reclaimed wood and antique building materials are used throughout in the numerous outbuildings. Formerly a studio (where Jack Witt created the BoJangles scuplture), the barn/studio/guest house is spacious (at nearly 1300 sq. ft) with a kitchen, full bath, 2 bedrooms, heat pump and new upstairs window unit. Mature trees and expanses of meandering lawn, rock outcroppings and creek frontage make this 2.7 acre retreat a rare find just minutes outside of Ashland.
