A Rare Mountain Property with Views, Usable Acreage & Endless Possibilities! Discover the freedom and beauty of more than 34 acres in Southwest Virginia, offering a unique combination of mountain views, open land, wooded privacy, trails, and a charming furnished mountain home. Located just minutes from the New River and approximately 10 minutes from downtown Independence, this property is ideal for a private retreat, small farm, Airbnb, guest cottage, or future estate. Nestled at the base of the property is a cozy 1-bedroom, 1-bath mountain home that has been extensively remodeled and updated over the years. Originally believed to have been built in the 1950s, the home was essentially remodeled and rebuilt around 2000 and has received additional improvements within the past two years. Recent updates include mini-split HVAC with air conditioning, new stainless-steel appliances, newer washer and dryer, freshly painted cabinets, new light fixtures, a newer well pump and pressure tank, and more. The rustic dark cedar exterior and spacious covered front porch give the home the perfect mountain-cabin feel. The home is being sold fully furnished and stocked, including cookware, linens, and the essentials needed for everyday living. A sleeper sofa in the living room allows the home to accommodate up to four guests. It has also been successfully used as an Airbnb, averaging approximately 45+ rental nights per year, providing an opportunity to continue the existing short-term rental use. The land is just as impressive. More than half of the acreage is cleared and usable, while the remainder is gently wooded, creating an excellent mix of open pasture and natural privacy. The ridge offers beautiful long-range mountain views in multiple directions, with vistas reaching toward Grandfather Mountain in North Carolina on a clear day. Previously operated as a Christmas tree farm, the property features an established network of farm roads that now provide excellent ATV and recreational trails throughout the acreage. With its combination of open land, gentle terrain, trails, and water features, the property would be well suited for horses, livestock, gardening, recreation, or simply enjoying the outdoors. Several smaller streams cross the property, and there is potential for creating a pond if desired. A recent perk test has also been completed for a specific location on the property, adding potential for future development. Whether you're looking for a private mountain getaway, an income-producing Airbnb, a guest house while planning your future dream home, or a property where you can bring horses and enjoy plenty of room to roam, this acreage offers tremendous flexibility. A right-of-way provides access from Highway 58 along the gravel road between the existing homes.
A new survey was completed approximately two years ago. With its combination of mountain views, usable acreage, established trails, water features, a furnished and updated home, and proximity to the New River and Independence, properties offering this much flexibility and potential are increasingly hard to find. Come explore the possibilities and make this exceptional piece of Southwest Virginia your own.
