Description
|
|
Originally a Civil War-era farmhouse, the Gatehouse at Sleepy Creek
sits on 24 secluded acres of woods and meadows at the foot of the
Sleepy Creek Mountain. The property is on a bend of the Sleepy
Creek, and perfect for swimming, fishing, canoeing, tubing, or just
an easy hike.
Wildlife abounds (deer, raccoons, fox, turtles, crayfish,
groundhogs, birds of every sort, including hawks and turkeys, and
all sorts of other critters), but civilization is only five miles
away in Berkeley Springs. The country's oldest spa, Berkeley
Springs offers fine restaurants, shops, a thriving art community
with galleries and festivals, a cinema, a community theatre, as well
as its famed warm springs. The nearby Cacapon State Park has a
famous golf course, a swimming lake and beach, hiking, tennis,
volleyball, and horseback riding.

ABOUT THE FARM:
Sleepy Creek meanders around three sides of The Gatehouse's 24 acres
and is suitable for wading. If the water is higher, bobbing along in
a tube on Sleepy Creek makes for a pleasant afternoon. A path runs
alongside the creek the length of the farm. Sleepy Creek is host to
harparella, a near-extinct plant that grows only in clean water.
Deer, chipmunks, squirrels, rabbits, and turtles live on the farm
and we have even seen a bear. A groundhog family lives under the
barn. In the spring, look for babies in the meadow.
Birds include turkeys, grouse, hawks, owls, kingfishers, most of the
usual (cardinals, blue jays, sparrows, tufted titmouse, black-capped
chickadees), and an occasional warbler, rose-breasted grosbeak,
killdeer, as well as a lost goose or duck. Who knows what you might
add to your life list.
There's also a wonderful hill for sledding if the weather
cooperates.
