An adjoining al fresco dining area - complete with a gas barbecue, food prep counter, outdoor bathroom, and spacious storage room with a refrigerator - sets the stage for sun-soaked afternoons and starlit dinners. A detached guest house has long or short term rental potential, providing immediate income or flexible accommodation for visitors. The 12.09 perimeter fenced acres offer room to transform the property into a working ranchette and incorporate the seasonal creek on the northwest corner into the operations. Benefiting from an agricultural exemption, this estate enjoys reduced property taxes - an added advantage in Fredericksburg's highly coveted market. 834 Northwood Hills is more than a home; it's a rare fusion of aesthetic allure, nature, spacious living and privacy.
