Blue Ridge Country Home with Land                $355,000

 Price reduced 

A massive rock garden with Koi pond and waterfalls graces the front of this home, soothing to watch and listen to from the shady, slate-floored porch. This immaculate country home sits on about 9 acres of beautiful, Blue Ridge land. The house has been completely remodeled, to the studs, with new additions for the spacious, eat-in kitchen and a huge walk-in closet. Each of the three bedrooms has its own full bath. There's a half bath off the laundry/mud room. In Laurel Fork, Virginia, about nine miles from Meadows of Dan and the Blue Ridge Parkway.

The Koi pond has a circulating fountain and several waterfalls. This was all lovingly built by hand.

A comfortable 2,700+ feet elevation. Just a short drive to Olde Mill Golf Course and the Blue Ridge Parkway, Meadows of Dan, Mabry Mill. 

The 15 x 26 living room shows off the country flavor that was retained during the extensive remodel. The owners kept the hardwood floors and some original doors as well as the solid chestnut frame. Otherwise, it's mostly new. The open door leads to the "winter porch," a charming sun room. The entry to the master suite is just to the right of the sun room door.

The new addition to the right of the house features the 17 x 18 kitchen, an 11 x 20 screened porch, an 8 x 20 front veranda (with slate flooring), an 18 x 20 basement with cement floor, and a storage attic. The dining area of the kitchen has a view of the water garden. The craftsmanship is meticulous. There's even a light in the under sink cabinet!

One of my favorite "rooms" is the 11 x 20 screened porch. Shaded by two chestnut trees, this is the place to be in the summer. The high elevation and mountain breezes "air condition" this shady retreat.

The kitchen is in the new wing, newly built in 2003. All appliances convey.

The spacious 17x19 room includes a dining area with a view of the Koi pond.
