The Space

This comfortable two story mountain home offers 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, plus a bonus room, providing plenty of space for families and small groups. Note there is no A/C.

The main level is designed to showcase the spectacular mountain scenery. A spacious living room with large picture windows fills the home with natural light while framing expansive, ever-changing mountain vistas in every direction. From sunrise to sunset, you'll enjoy some of the most memorable views the Blue Ridge has to offer.

The second floor is where the living, dining, kitchen, and 2 of the 3 bedrooms are located. With the bottom level or entry level featuring the 3rd bedroom, bathroom, and bonus room.

Adjacent to the living room, the dining area comfortably seats four, six with an additional table for three perfect for morning coffee, puzzles, or a quiet place to work while overlooking the mountains.

Outdoor Living

The expansive wraparound deck is truly the highlight of the home. Start your mornings with coffee while clouds drift through the valleys below, spend the afternoon enjoying cool mountain breezes, and end your evenings watching spectacular sunsets over layers of distant Blue Ridge peaks.

Nature surrounds the property, and it's common to spot deer, wild turkeys, birds, and other local wildlife passing through. Every season brings a different experience—from lush summer greenery and colorful fall foliage to peaceful winter landscapes and vibrant spring blooms.
