Country roads lead from U.S. 219 in Frankford past rolling hills and farms to the hilltop acreage. Windpsalm Lane's wistful name hints at the magical, meditative feel of the property, far from everyday concerns. A circular driveway with a landscaped inner circle adds to its curb appeal. Two solid wood doors faced with red metal exteriors open to the tiled entryway and coat closet. Just beyond, the living, kitchen and dining areas flow seamlessly and open onto the large covered deck, which runs the home's full width.

The living room features a stone fireplace with a Jtul woodstove on a stone hearth, built-in cabinetry, and a wall mount ready for a large tv. This room and all the rooms except for the tiled baths and laundry have hardwood flooring.

The nearby kitchen has custom oak cabinetry, dark granite counters with a white tile backsplash, and double stainless-steel sinks. Whirlpool appliances include a refrigerator-freezer, a gas range and a dishwasher. The kitchen, adjacent dining area and living room all enjoy dramatic views of the mountain scenery. The covered deck provides even better views, and serves as a perfect spot for entertaining, grilling and outdoor meals.

A short hallway leads to the office nook/laundry room. The office has a built-in desk and cabinetry. The laundry has a Samsung front loading washer and a Kenmore dryer. A door leads from this room to the double garage. The garage is presently configured as a workout room/man cave/storage area. It could be reclaimed to serve its original purpose, or remodeled to expand the home.

The master suite is a few steps further down the hall, past the office/laundry room. The spacious master bedroom opens to the deck. A walk-in closet that also serves as a dressing room connects the master bedroom with the master bath. The bath has a large tiled shower with double showerheads and a built-in seat.

Bedrooms 2 and 3 are corner rooms, located on the home's opposite side. Bedroom 2 opens to the deck and enjoys the panoramic view. Bedroom 3 overlooks the front yard and circle. Both have ceiling fans and generous closets with built-in shelves. They share a hallway bath with a Jacuzzi tub-shower and a vanity with a granite counter.

This well-insulated home's HVAC system is worth mentioning. The primary heat and air conditioning is provided by a top-of-the-line Trane variable speed heat pump, which automatically adjusts to avoid heat and cool swings, and runs quietly. Backup heat is provided by a propane forced-air furnace, and by the Jtul woodstove, a cast iron Norwegian stove designed to burn efficiently and last a lifetime.

A pathway leads from the home's deck, past an inviting firepit, to a small wooden deck on the yard's edge that provides a sweeping 120 view to the East and Northeast. This deck is just big enough for two people to share a bench and marvel at the scenery.

In addition to the home, there are two outbuildings. One is a substantial concrete garage with a tall door. This building has electricity and includes plenty of storage space with built in shelves, a workshop with a workbench, and a separate bay for storing firewood. The other building is a simple wood structure, a good spot for working on firewood if you want to harvest and split your own from the property's extensive forest of oak, maple and popular trees.

The fields, forest and 2700-foot elevation make the land a birdwatcher's paradise. Nesting resident species include Baltimore orioles, scarlet tanagers, bluebirds and indigo buntings.

Northern Greenbrier County is a quiet rural area characterized by rolling hills, family farms, lush forests and friendly neighbors. Local attractions include The Greenbrier, a world-class luxury resort on 11,000 acres, historic and charming Lewisburg, with art galleries, food-themed festivals and a literary festival, the annual State Fair of West Virginia, and the 75-mile Greenbrier River Trail, popular with hikers and cyclists. Fishing, hunting, kayaking and canoeing opportunities abound.

This comfortable hilltop home is a 25-minute drive on country roads and U.S. 219 to shopping and services in Lewisburg, with ready access to I-64 and the Greenbrier Valley Airport.
