Located at 1421 Sunset River Road in Ceres, VA, this inviting riverfront property offers a rare blend of privacy, space, and outdoor recreation. The home features vinyl siding and a metal roof, with four bedrooms, two full baths, a kitchen, dining room, and a comfortable living room with fireplace that has been bricked in but could possibly be removed. A generously sized utility room leads to the covered back porch, which offers beautiful river views and is ready for a little TLC to make it your own. Flooring throughout the home includes a mix of hardwood, vinyl, and carpet. Another addition to this lovely home all the contents within and outside the home convey with this property. The property has been enjoyed as a second home for nearly 20 years, filled with memories of fishing, hunting, family picnics, and relaxing by the river. Heating and cooling are provided by a heat pump, with the wood burning fireplace offering cozy supplemental heat on winter evenings. The home also includes a full unfinished basement with a drive under one car garage, providing excellent storage or future expansion potential. Outside, you'll find a covered picnic shelter, an older barn in need of repair, and an additional shed, all adding to the versatility of the property. Set in a relatively remote and nearly secluded setting, the property is surrounded by approximately 18 acres on both sides of the road, creating a true sense of privacy. The possibilities here are endless whether you're looking for a peaceful full-time residence, a second home, an Airbnb or vacation rental, hunting club, or a unique venue opportunity. Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate the easy access to river fishing, wildlife viewing, and hunting, along with proximity to the Jefferson National Forest, Appalachian hiking trails, scenic backroads.
