The property goes beyond traditional living spaces with its detached guest house complete with a full bedroom, bathroom, kitchen, and laundry facilities that has established a strong long term rental history and would make an ideal Airbnb as well. Adding to this property's unique charm is the original two-level Smokehouse, now transformed into a standalone home office/studio with soaring ceilings - perfect for remote work or creative pursuits.

The 1995 addition showcases remarkable craftsmanship with large posts and beams personally sourced by the owner (also used in the construction of Market Station in downtown Leesburg) from historic structures - interior oak posts from a West Virginia barn and pine beams from an industrial building in Ohio. Recent improvements include a maintenance-free metal roof installed in 2023 on both the main house and studio, 2 heating units replaced (one last month, and the other two years ago), brand new carpet, and fresh interior paint throughout both the main house and cottage. The exterior features durable, maintenance-free Hardie plank siding on the addition, and a recently replace hot water heater in the cottage
