Description

Blue Goose Horse Farm - Equestrian center on 11.84+/- scenic acres with beautiful 3-bedroom, 2-bath living space in a totally restored 150+ year-old barn with many unique handcrafted features. Only 10-minutes from downtown Lewisburg. This special property is a horse lover's paradise, with 6 stalls, tack and feed rooms, 8 paddocks with water and electric fencing, multiple run-in sheds with rubber mats, a round pen, and a 115' x 140' all-weather arena. The spacious 2 1/2-story apartment is retrofitted in the board-and-batten style. The home incorporates beautiful handcrafted woodwork, two bay windows, a deck with 180 panoramic mountain views, and contemporary creature comforts include floors with radiant heating and even a charming English garden. Located just off Davis Stuart Road, with two paddocks fronting the road, this attractive, one-of-a-kind property is much more than a horse farm. The lower-level entry to the apartment is capable of functioning as a separate living space, if desired, with a living room, study/office, kitchen, bedroom and bathroom, along with a large room with many possible uses with outdoor access. The living room features exposed rafters, barnwood paneling and French doors opening to the backyard. The study has plenty of built-in shelving and large windows overlooking the farm. Handcrafted oak cabinetry and countertops add warmth to the kitchen, which includes a Frigidaire refrigerator-freezer and a Frigidaire convection range with two ovens. The bedroom overlooks the English garden and a lovely ginkgo tree that turns golden in the fall. The adjacent bath includes a shower-tub, an oak vanity with a porcelain sink, and a closet. Just beyond the bedroom is an exceptionally large bonus room, currently serving as a quilting room, with enough space to accommodate a small business and access to a small work area with on-demand hot water. This generous room would readily lend itself to other uses, like a playroom, studio or music room. The lower level also includes the apartment's laundry room, with GE appliances and a utility sink. The floors on this level are concrete with an epoxy flagstone finish and radiant heat, providing natural warmth as the heat rises from the floor, and space saving convenience. A black walnut and hickory staircase leads upstairs to the main living space, with open-plan living-kitchen-dining areas, two bedrooms and an impressive bath. The barn's gambrel roof gives the great room an expansive, soaring feeling, with the added attraction of the barn's original hay hook hanging high above. Local Appalachian hardwoods, including maple, walnut, cherry, hickory, oak and black walnut, are used in the paneling, built-in shelving, trim and floors. The living room's black walnut flooring is laid in a striking diagonal pattern. Two bay windows afford sunrise and sunset views, and a large deck offers a stunning bird's eye view of Muddy Creek Mountain and the surrounding countryside. The kitchen features a walnut countertop with a double porcelain sink and handcrafted cabinetry. Appliances include a Frigidaire gas range, a Frigidaire refrigerator-freezer, and an Emerson microwave. The great room also incorporates the dining area. An arched doorway with an eye-catching leaded glass door opens to a spacious bathroom, with tile flooring, a clawfoot cast iron soaking tub, a separate shower, and a wooden vanity with a decorative copper sink. A porthole window over the tub provides an unexpected, whimsical architectural touch. Two carpeted bedrooms with recessed lighting are located on the upper level. One is near the great room and the other is accessed via a staircase leading to a balcony with wrought ironwork overlooking the great room. The balcony opens to the second bedroom, which is highlighted by a large interior window with a captivating view of the barn's rafters. Both upper-level bedrooms are heated and cooled with ductless mini split heat pumps, while the rest of the upper level incorporates
