This estate is situated at 3650 feet on the highest peak around with commanding views of surrounding countryside and Blue Ridge Mountains. A Christmas tree farm until the early 2000s, stately Frasier firs remain scattered about the fields. A steady mountain breeze refreshes all summer with temperatures several degrees cooler than surrounding communities. The home was built in 1968 by an electrical engineer and has original long-lasting redwood siding. The home's roof was replaced in 2009 and the barn roof replaced in 2016. A gas powered generator conveys and the home is wired with a transfer switch. The central part of the home is heated with an oil furnace and heat pump and the wing with four bedrooms has a propane furnace. This home would be ideal for off-grid living with 4 fireplaces and wood burning inserts, a spring water supply, wide open southern exposures for solar arrays, and steady breezes for wind turbines. Formerly used as a vacation rental and rented to the Virginia Tourism Bureau, the site has great potential for vacation lodging and events hosting. Full walk-out basement could be converted to additional rooms. With over 25 acres, there is ample room for parking and plenty of space for additional cabins or camping. It is simply impossible to find better 360 degrees mountain views for a wedding venue, conference center, or exclusive private residence. Literally overlooking FloydFest directly across the parkway, and only minutes from Chateau Morrisette, Mabry Mill, Rocky Knob, and Rock Castle Gorge, this high meadow estate is perfectly situated along popular destinations. Parkway access is provided at two points - along a state road for 1/2 mile to an at-grade crossing, and through a deeded 50-foot right of way running parallel to the parkway to another access point. (The land comes with a right to way through other properties but there are no easements or rights of way through the property itself.) The land straddles Floyd and Patrick counties with tax parcels in each. Potentially eligible for a conservation easement which could bring substantial tax benefits. Strong cell signal at property and high speed internet available. This special mountain get-away is a rare find with a truly top-of-world setting.
