BACK ON MARKET WITH A BRAND NEW ROOF AND GUTTERS! IDEAL HORSE PROPERTY IN NORTHERN FAUQUIER COUNTY. This unique design by local architect James Hricko combines contemporary & rustic elements creating a modern cottage style home. Custom built in 2002, the “Silo House” was designed to evoke the barn and silo that once stood on this site and to nurture a passion for horses. Reminiscent of the way homes and barns were designed in early America or colder climates in Europe, the barn attaches to the main house. Thus, it is wonderfully easy to comfortably check on equine friends, even in the worst weather. The house was carefully designed to blend naturally in its setting, among gently rolling fields, and placed purposefully, so that horses in their pastures are always in view. The siding is comprised of natural cedar shingles, with tongue & groove vertical boards on the silo, and painted in “Wedgewood Blue”, a luxurious shade that is both serene and delightful. The new "Shakewood" architectural shingles compliment the siding and are in keeping with the "cottage" look . Inside, cool gray flooring, white walls, and clean lines exude a peaceful “zen-like” energy. The family room is warmed by a wood burning fireplace with rustic wood mantel and beams, which were salvaged from the old barn that once stood on the site. Throughout the home, sunlight spills in through an abundance of windows and glass doors, and gorgeous pastoral views are enjoyed from every room. The round silo provides a unique space perfect for a cozy “lounge” on the main level and an invigorating office space upstairs. Thoughtfully planned to make horse keeping as care-free as possible, the well-ventilated and well-lit barn is comfortable for both horse & human, with a heated & cooled tack room, three 12x12 matted stalls, a luxurious wash stall and plenty of hay storage. There are 3 board-fenced paddocks with run-in sheds, 2 of which have automatic waterers and all three have spigots by them. A circular drive makes trailering a breeze, and there is ample parking for trucks and farm equipment. Last, but not least, a Generac generator is waiting to save the day if the power goes out. Located in Hume, one of the most scenic and protected parts of Fauquier County, it is an easy drive to the town of Marshall for groceries, or to grab a sandwich at the world-famous Red Truck Bakery. With access to a variety of options for high-speed internet, it is feasible to work successfully from home. For those who must commute to the city, route 66 is just a 10 minute drive, with Wegmans and the shopping meccas of Gainesville and Haymarket along the way. Over $170,000 in improvements since the current owner purchased the home, and it shows! To fully appreciate this truly “one of a kind” equestrian property, you will want to schedule a personal tour. Please ask for a detailed brochure, with 3D Tour, Floor Plans and a long list of improvements.
