The spacious log home features cathedral ceilings, 4 bedrooms, 2 renovated baths, a large basement, screened-in porch, an expansive river-facing deck, high speed internet, a fully fenced yard, and more. Electricity, water, & all utilities already added - the home is move-in ready!

This land is the perfect opportunity to use as your own special retreat, build an additional home on the second lot, or even use the sprawling estate to grow a vineyard/winery. Over 1,200 hardwood seedlings were also planted along the river under a VA Dept. of Forestry grant, enhancing the lands natural beauty and long-term value.
