About this home
Set on 1.207 acres in picturesque Etlan, Virginia, Sojourner's Rest is a distinctive A-frame overlooking the Champe Plain in Frances Thornton Valley, with views of Old Rag Mountain and the surrounding countryside from every room. Built in 2010 by local craftsmen, this thoughtfully designed home pairs A-frame character with an extraordinary view of one of Shenandoah National Park's most iconic destinations.
Old Rag Mountain is the defining feature of the landscape and the experience at Sojourner's Rest. The property offers convenient access to Shenandoah National Park, the Old Rag trailhead, Whiteoak Falls and Cedar Run hikes, with Virginia Scenic Byway Route 231 providing a beautiful approach. Old Rag is the most popular destination in Shenandoah National Park according to the National Park Service and was ranked 10th in Outside Magazine's list of the 25 Best Hikes in the World.
Morning mist rises from the fields, inviting a quiet start to the day birdwatching and enjoying coffee on the porch or deck. Then, explore the area or trout fish in the stocked Hughes or Rose Rivers before returning for an afternoon picnic on the spacious patio with friends and family. After an afternoon hike in Shenandoah National Park, return to a beautiful sunset behind Old Rag Mountain while soaking in the hot tub, then finish the day with stargazing and s'mores around the fire pit beneath a brilliantly starlit sky.
The park-like grounds feature carefully placed landscaping for privacy and reduced road noise. A pole shed and separate outbuilding provide storage and laundry facilities, including a utility sink, two washer hookups and two dryer hookups, with one washer and two dryers conveying.
Inside, the entire home has been freshly painted throughout. The main level features a well-appointed kitchen with ample cabinetry, gas stove, and brand-new low-decibel dishwasher. The living area offers Old Rag Mountain views through one of five sliding glass doors and space for a four-person dining table. A quiet workspace and cozy reading nook provide inviting places to work, read, or enjoy a rainy day. A full bathroom and washing machine complete the main level.
Up the rounded staircase, the generous second-floor bedroom accommodates a king-size bed and includes a comfortable sectional seating area in a nook overlooking Old Rag Mountain. A three-quarter bathroom completes the upper level. Storage is abundant, including an under-stair closet, bedroom closet, linen shelving, extensive cabinetry, and outdoor storage.
Firefly fiber internet has recently been brought to the property, providing high-speed connectivity for remote work, streaming, and modern convenience while enjoying life in the country.
The Little Country Store is within walking distance, while three wineries and a brewery are within three miles. Graves Mountain Lodge is less than six miles away and hosts annual festivals and gatherings. Etlan Community Church, less than a half mile away, offers opportunities to participate in both local and international missions, including a local food pantry, and small groups for those looking for volunteer and community-building opportunities.
Sojourner's Rest is an active short-term rental, but its possibilities extend well beyond vacation use. It could serve as a full-time residence, retirement home, second home, personal retreat, remote-work destination, or continued vacation rental. P&L and business operation details are available upon request. Furnishings, household items, and rental supplies are available by separate bill of sale. Because the property is an active short-term rental, showings are by appointment only through a licensed real estate agent.
With its exceptional views of Old Rag Mountain, welcoming outdoor spaces, established rental history, proximity to Shenandoah National Park, and connection to the Etlan community, Sojourner's Rest offers the opportunity to make a truly distinctive place a part of your own life story....
