Home Details
Rare opportunity to own an idyllic 394-acre country estate at the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, centrally located between Roanoke and Lynchburg. Live and work on a prominent rural treat with a diverse landscape filled with forests, fields, springs, streams, and a tranquil pond--creating a sanctuary for abundant wildlife and plant habitats. A main residence (built in 1999) with an attached apartment and fully equipped guest house (1940) totaling nearly 9,000 finished square feet provides the opportunity to operate a B&B, recreational retreat, or multi-generational space for all. Featuring a pool, spa, sauna, gardens, gazebo, greenhouse and "chicken mansion," you can spend your days immersed in the beauty of historic central Virginia. Two oversized barns provide ample space for horses, equipment, and storage, making this an equestrian’s dream. The main home is the heart of the property with its full, enclosed wrap-around porch, stone wood-burning fireplace, and custom kitchen accented by brand new maple floors. Additional luxuries include an interior lap pool, sauna, finished garage, and two primary suites, offering every comfort for the lifestyle you’ve always dreamed of. Cherished by the same owner for 30 years, this property is now ready for its next chapter. Bring your vision and make this one-of-a-kind property your own!
