If you’ve been craving peace and privacy, you might just fall in love with this little slice of the Virginia countryside. Tucked back on 20.6 wooded acres in Buckingham County, this rustic log cabin feels like something out of a storybook—quiet, simple, and surrounded by nature.

Priced at $399,900, 165 Fitzpatrick Road isn’t just a home—it’s a retreat. It’s where you go to slow down, breathe deep, and wake up with the sun rising through the trees.

A Cabin That Feels Like Home

This isn’t one of those oversized lodges with hotel vibes—it’s cozy in the best way. The 985-square-foot cabin was built in 1978 and has been lovingly maintained over the years. Inside, you’ll find real wood details, a wood-burning stove that keeps the whole place warm in winter, and just enough space to live simply, without sacrificing comfort.

There’s a full kitchen, an open living area, and a loft-style bedroom tucked upstairs. It’s the kind of place where your coffee tastes better, your thoughts get quieter, and time moves a little slower.

And yes—high-speed internet (Firefly fiber!) is already connected. So whether you’re working from home or streaming movies at night, you’ll have the modern conveniences you need without giving up the rural lifestyle.

The Land Is What Makes It Special

Step outside, and you’re surrounded by over 20 acres of mature forest—just you, the trees, and the occasional deer wandering by. The property includes two separate parcels, so there’s room to dream big: build a second cabin, start a small farm, create a family compound, or just enjoy the wide-open space all to yourself.

This is true Virginia countryside—peaceful, private, and unspoiled. And if you’ve been hunting for a place where you can unplug, unwind, and maybe even build a life close to the land, this is it.

A Modern-Day Pine Knot

There’s something timeless about this place. It reminds us of Teddy Roosevelt’s Pine Knot retreat just a few counties over—a cabin in the woods meant for rest, reflection, and reconnection. That’s what 165 Fitzpatrick offers: not just a place to live, but a place to be.

And yet, you’re not completely off-grid. The cabin has central air and heat, a private well, a septic system, and modern wiring. It’s a cabin with history, updated just enough to meet today’s needs.
