Set behind a gated entrance on nearly 40 wooded acres in the hills of Berkeley Springs, The Red Gate Retreat is a remarkably private mountain retreat designed for gathering, restoration, outdoor recreation, and a slower pace connected to the surrounding landscape. Surrounded by mature hardwoods, sweeping mountain views, private trails, abundant wildlife, and a stocked fishing pond, the property offers a rare opportunity to embrace life outdoors while enjoying modern comforts.
Thoughtfully positioned within the landscape are two cedar-sided residences that create a setting that feels both expansive and deeply personal.
The main residence blends warmth and scale with remarkable intention. Natural wood shiplap walls, stone flooring in the kitchen, rich hardwood floors, and soaring two-story ceilings create an atmosphere that feels both elevated and grounded. Expansive windows and multiple outdoor living spaces bring the beauty of the surrounding landscape into everyday life.
At the heart of the home, the chef's kitchen features Aga appliances, a large center island, generous pantry, wet bar, dedicated wine storage room, and imported Spanish tile. Designed for entertaining, the home flows seamlessly between indoor and outdoor spaces.
Multiple decks overlook the pond, woods, and mountain views, while a fire pit area creates the perfect setting for evenings under the stars. The stocked pond, complete with a dock, invites afternoons spent fishing, unwinding, and making memories with family and friends.
The main-level primary suite serves as a private retreat with vaulted ceilings, a dramatic stone fireplace, direct deck access, an oversized walk-in closet, and a luxurious bath featuring a steam shower, soaking tub, radiant heated flooring, and stone finishes. The great room continues the home's sense of scale with soaring ceilings and an impressive stone fireplace, while a spiral staircase leads to an upper loft ideal for a home office, reading lounge, or additional sleeping space.
While there are only two legal bedrooms, the property has been thoughtfully designed to accommodate larger gatherings with several additional sleeping areas, including the loft within the main residence, featuring a built-in sleeping space, and additional accommodations within the guest residence.
Positioned above the detached two-car garage, the 'upper house' offers an additional bedroom, bathroom, kitchenette and bar area, game room, and lofted sleeping space accessed by ladder-ideal for guests, multigenerational living, or potential rental income.
Beyond the homes, nearly 40 acres of private recreational land await exploration. Winding trails meander through the woods, offering opportunities for hiking, wildlife observation, ATV riding, hunting, and peaceful walks beneath the Appalachian canopy. Deer, turkey, and countless bird species are frequent visitors throughout the property.
Located just minutes from Sleepy Creek Wildlife Management Area and a short drive to downtown Berkeley Springs, residents enjoy easy access to hiking, fishing, boating, hunting, dining, shopping, and the area's renowned mineral springs.
Smart home modern conveniences include fiber-optic internet, security cameras, Sonos audio, Lutron lighting controls, and integrated smart-home technology throughout.
Refined yet deeply livable, The Red Gate Retreat offers more than a home-it offers a place to fish at sunset, explore private trails, gather around the fire with friends, and settle into a lifestyle defined by beauty, recreation, and the freedom to truly slow down.
