Mountain-View Farmhouse in Virginia Countryside

Highlights
• Surrounded by Shenandoah Valley mountain scenery

• Close to Lexington, VMI, and Washington & Lee

• Near wineries, breweries, and Virginia Horse Center

This home brings together the character of Virginia’s countryside with the comfort of a thoughtfully restored historic property just outside Lexington. Originally a 1900s feed store, the home has been reimagined as a spacious Shenandoah Valley retreat surrounded by rolling farmland, mountain views, and open skies. Its peaceful setting keeps guests close to historic downtown Lexington, wineries, breweries, the Virginia Horse Center, and the region’s scenic outdoor landscapes.

The interiors are designed for gathering, with two separate residential spaces rented together as one private stay. Upstairs, guests enter from a large deck into a bright living area with a full kitchen, comfortable seating, and two king bedrooms. Downstairs, an open-concept kitchen, dining room, and lounge create a natural hub for long meals, relaxed evenings, and shared time together.

Across the property, five bedrooms and three bathrooms accommodate up to 13 guests. The layout includes three king bedrooms, two queen bedrooms, an additional twin bed, and a pull-out sofa, offering flexibility for families, wedding groups, university visits, and multi-generational travel. A private downstairs primary suite, room-darkening shades, split-system climate control, laundry facilities, and self check-in add comfort throughout the stay.

Outdoor living is centered around the surrounding valley landscape. Guests can move between the large deck, covered porch, screened sitting area, outdoor dining spaces, and fire pit while taking in mountain and countryside views. A BBQ grill, outdoor furnishings, and generous gathering areas make the home especially well suited for group weekends and seasonal getaways.

From the property, guests can hike at Natural Bridge State Park, attend equestrian events at the Virginia Horse Center, explore Lexington’s cafés and historic streets, or visit nearby wineries and breweries. Washington and Lee University and VMI are also close by, making Sunset Farm a convenient base for countryside retreats, university visits, and relaxed Virginia gatherings.
