About 45 Cougar Hollow Rd
Historic Hampshire County Gem – Offered for Only the Third Time in 200 Years!!!!
Historic charm meets modern comfort – 1835 manor house with 3 bedrooms, 5 fireplaces, and panoramic valley views.
Nestled in the serene, secure, GATED community of Hidden Hollows, this rare 1835 log-and-stone manor house blends history, craftsmanship, and modern comfort. Available for only the third time in its two-century history, this remarkable property sits on 10.91 unrestricted, fully usable acres with panoramic views of the valley.
The manor house, built in 1835 and thoughtfully expanded in 1906, spans 2,624 sq. ft. and was the subject of a complete restoration in 2017. A photographic history of the restoration is available to any potential buyer. Historic details such as original cedar flooring, ledge-and-brace doors, and hand-hewn logs have been lovingly preserved, while updates like the expanded kitchen (2017), new plumbing and electric (2017) and upgraded drainage and septic (2023) bring modern convenience. The well was completely serviced in 2023 and provides excellent water flow at a depth of only 75 feet. The metal roof was scraped, primed and recoated with aluminum fiber paint in 2025, ensuring durability for years to come.
The home offers three bedrooms: two on the upper floor with a full bathroom, and one on the main floor with an adjacent full bathroom. Throughout the home, you’ll find five fireplaces, two of which are outfitted with wood-burning stoves—providing extra heat and a cozy atmosphere that perfectly complements the historic character.
Adding to the property’s uniqueness is a 2,000 sq. ft. post-and-beam barn, constructed in 2020 by the current owner. Finished to a high standard, it currently serves as a music studio and office, but with its quality build, it could easily be converted into a guest or family residence. It is also perfect for a work-from-home situation, with FIBER OPTIC INTERNET SERVICE already available onsite.
Despite being located within Hidden Hollows Subdivision, the property is not part of the
HOA, giving you flexibility and freedom while still enjoying the privacy from neighboring
parcels, which range from 20 to 50 acres. The HOA maintains the subdivision roads at no
expense to the property.
A commuter’s dream, the property is extremely accessible, only 3.5 miles down a
level, straight and partially paved road to main Route 50, and within 5 miles from the
historic Town of Romney and the South Branch of the Potomac River.
This is more than just a property—it’s a piece of history, beautifully maintained and ready
for its next steward.
