Wow! If you've been wanting something rustic on great creek frontage, this might be it -- on steroids. It's 4,500 square feet of artisan craftsmanship on 700 feet of Dodd Creek.

The all wood exterior has been treated with sealant and the metal roof recoated. The entire building has all new electrical wiring and plumbing. All original beams, flooring, stairs. Each floor has a full kitchen, bath, washer/dryer and individual hot water heater, and thermostat Wood stove on first and second floor. 

The first floor was used as a gallery and a cafe in the past. Currently, it's used as a gallery and antiques shop while the owner lives upstairs. Great, flexible space for studios, extended family, or anything you want. First floor deck and third floor balcony overlooking the creek.

The 1.67 +/- acres lies along 700 feet of Dodd Creek. It's 20-40 feet wide, rocky, noisy, and fishy.  Much of the land lays well with the creek, very walkable and accented with historic stone walls, paths, blueberries, raspberries, towering walnut trees, herbs and wildflowers. Quiet paved road  frontage. Just 2 1/2 miles from the center of Floyd, Virginia, and about 8 miles from the Blue Ridge Parkway.

Come on up to the Blue Ridge and take a good look at this one!

Cantilevered deck and balcony  overlooking the creek bring the sound of rushing water right to you.
