Huntly VA Real Estate & Homes for Sale

Tucked away in the heart of Rappahannock County, 45 Shootz Hollow offers a desirable blend of privacy, character, and proximity to some of Virginia's most celebrated destinations. This 4-bedroom, 3-bathroom home is situated on 5.57 acres comprising of three separate parcels, providing both flexibility and long-term potential. Located just minutes from Rappahannock Cellars, the property is ideally positioned for those who appreciate vineyards, scenic drives, and the relaxed pace of wine country living. The renowned Inn at Little Washington is approximately 15-20 minutes away, offering world-class dining in an idyllic setting. Outdoor enthusiasts will enjoy convenient access to Shenandoah National Park and the Appalachian Trail, both just a short drive away, providing endless opportunities for hiking, wildlife viewing, and exploring the Blue Ridge Mountains. The home itself is a true work of art, infused with distinctive Southwest-inspired flair and exceptional craftsmanship. Throughout the property, you'll find custom, hand-forged ironwork created by the late Nol Putnam, a widely respected artist-blacksmith whose work earned national recognition. Over a career spanning more than four decades, Putnam helped revive traditional blacksmithing in America, producing intricate, one-of-a-kind pieces using centuries-old techniques. His work includes notable commissions such as the gates at the Washington National Cathedral, as well as private estates, reflecting a rare level of artistry and precision. Known as both an artisan and philosopher, he approached ironwork as a fusion of art, mythology, and craftsmanship, often drawing inspiration from nature and classical symbolism. His influence is felt throughout the home, where each hand-forged element - from railings to fixtures and architectural accents - adds depth, authenticity, and a timeless quality that cannot be replicated. Adding to the property's unique appeal is a second structure - the original blacksmith forge - once actively used by Putnam himself. Rich with character and history, this standalone building offers exceptional flexibility for future use, whether as a workshop, garage, artist studio, or creative retreat. It presents a rare opportunity to preserve a meaningful piece of local craftsmanship while adapting the space to suit modern needs. Rich in story and soul, 45 Shootz Hollow offers more than just a residence - it offers a legacy. With its blend of artisan craftsmanship, natural beauty, and access to some of the finest experiences in the Blue Ridge, this is a truly one-of-a-kind offering.
