I don't know which is best, the location, the house, or the land with its fencing and buildings.
The location: This is a choice spot on the high, rolling Blue Ridge Plateau in Virginia. It is a mere 0.7 miles from the Blue Ridge Parkway and about a mile from Chateau Morrisette winery. It is 5-6 miles to Mabry Mill and Meadows of Dan in one direction and 12 miles to Floyd in the the other. With southern exposure, fertile land, accommodation for animals, and a wood heat capable home, you could do a lot of independent living here.
Bonus: At an elevation of about 3,300 feet, you get a pleasant, cooler climate.
The house: Easy one-level living in a well-built house with all new windows. 2,700 square feet on the main level includes 5 bedrooms, 2 full and one half bath, living room, family room, large eat-in kitchen, and a convenient laundry and mud room right at the back door. Two large bedrooms and a full bath comprise a suite that can be closed from the rest of the house. The master bath is fully remodeled with a spa tub. Another bedroom has a private half-bath. Hardwood floors in many of the rooms with ceramic tile in the baths. Fireplace in living room and family room. The full basement has 200 finished square feet and lots more partly finished. There's a full bathroom, a complete canning kitchen and an additional family room with fireplace. The French doors open to the perfect spot for a wood pile. You need that because there is a large wood furnace in the basement that sends heat to vents on the main floor. The sellers say that this can keep the whole house warm. All new appliances. HOME WARRANTY!
There is enough space to operate as a B&B, accommodating visitors to the music festivals at nearby Chateau Morrisette. The master suite would make an excellent guest suite.
The land: The house comes with 5 +/- acres with additional land available from the adjoining 32 acres. Most of the 5 acres is fenced pasture. There's a 4-stall barn, a second barn, and a sturdy block garage/utility building with electricity. This has been home to an Arabian horse farm and the horses are leaving behind some very fertile open land. It could be transformed into a strawberry or grape farm or simply produce bountiful mixed produce. There is an established family-sized grape arbor with room for lots of fruit and nut trees. Or, bring your own animals and make good use of the housing and pastures that are ready and waiting.

Lots of wonderful views and scenery at this quiet mountain farm. The distant view on the right is from the top of a pasture. The famous profile of Buffalo Mountain was photographed along the road. It can be seen from other points on the property. |
