This remarkable Church Museum and artist's estate offer a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for those with a discerning taste for history, art, and a touch of the extraordinary. The Church Museum stands as a testament to the rich legacy of Robert E. Kuhn, showcasing not only the historical significance of "Tanners Ridge Mission (1921-1966)" but also the artistic brilliance of Kuhn himself and his family. With an estimated art collection value of $3.5 Million, the property boasts a treasure trove of original fine arts, including paintings, drawings, prints, and sculptures, along with creative writings and even original jazz performances. This estate is truly a unique investment opportunity, offering not just the historic "Tanners Ridge Mission (1921-1966)" but also the residence and private museum collection of Robert E. Kuhn and his family. The converted church home itself offers an open-concept layout with cathedral ceilings, providing a unique living experience. The modern kitchen, complete with stainless steel appliances and a spacious countertop with bar seating, is perfect for both entertaining and preparing gourmet meals. A custom catwalk leads to a second-floor bedroom with an en suite bathroom, while the third-floor 'Angel-room' adds a charming touch that will be cherished by all, especially kids. Mornings are a delight, with a private second-floor balcony offering stunning views of the backyard and sculpture park. The location of the *Church Museum Artist's Estate* is equally remarkable. With 450 feet of road frontage and just 13 miles from the renowned Luray Caverns, this property is a prime Virginia tourist destination. Situated at a refreshing altitude of 3,000 feet and only 45 minutes from the picturesque Skyline Drive, it offers a serene escape from the hustle and bustle. Adjacent to the property lies the Shenandoah National Park, a natural wonderland filled with hiking trails and wildlife management areas. The park invites outdoor enthusiasts to explore its beauty by foot or mountain bike, enjoy fishing and canoeing in its creeks, and top off the day with fine dining at the popular Big Meadows Resort. The nearby town of Stanley, just a 10-minute drive away, provides opportunities for a quaint night out, with local restaurants like The Hawksbill Diner waiting to be discovered. For those seeking a unique wine-tasting experience, Wisteria Farm & Vineyard, set against the backdrop of the Blue Ridge Mountains, awaits your visit. Don't forget to explore the Mindrolling Lotus Garden for a serene Buddhist Prayer Garden and stunning architectural features. This 4.50-acre mountaintop estate, situated at 3,000 feet elevation, was the canvas upon which Robert E. Kuhn created his artistic legacy. Abandoned when Kuhn acquired it, he transformed the property into a haven for original art. Today, this legacy property is in the hands of his three artist sons, ensuring that the spirit of creativity continues to thrive. The historic "church" on the property is the last remaining "church" within the vast 200,000-acre Shenandoah National Park. This unique structure has been transformed into an income-generating three-bedroom church museum vacation rental, a truly amazing space adorned with colorful and imaginative original paintings, drawings, sculptures, and furnishings. Additionally, there are two other stone buildings on the property: the "parsonage," which once served as a workshop/studio for Robert Kuhn's metal sculpting and painting, and the "activities" building, a studio/gallery with multiple skylights. These buildings have the potential to become additional rental units or private studios for artists. The Sculpture Garden, a sprawling 2.75-acre museum in its own right, boasts a stunning collection of vibrant sculptures that can be appreciated as you wander among them. It even offers picturesque sites for intimate weddings, making it a multifaceted treasure within the estate. Included in this outdoor masterpiece are approximately 50 original, one-of-a-kind sculptures that will forever be a part of this captivating landscape. https://specialfinds.com/listings/con...
