Enjoy pastoral tranquility and outdoor recreation while you telework, host family retreats, or escape the cares of city life on 58 pristine acres at the foot of the Blue Ridge Mountains. This residence overlooks a private, spring-fed lake, offering 2.5 acres of swimming and year-round bass fishing. Private trails traverse the property to provide full enjoyment of the acreage on horseback or ATVs. Nature lovers will enjoy the resident deer, turkeys, waterfowl, and the occasional bald eagle.

Privacy and seclusion do not come at the expense of convenience; schools, grocery stores, gyms, restaurants, and the hospital are within minutes. The home also enjoys access to gigabit-plus internet service and municipal utilities (natural gas and city water) in addition to a private well and propane.

The 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom renovated 1900 farmhouse boasts a lovely Victorian porch facing the lake, an attractive standing seam metal roof, two wood-burning fireplaces, updated bathrooms, and new HVAC units. A workshop/storage shed with electrical service and a concrete slab sits adjacent to the home.

For those with ambitions to build their own country mansion, this comfortable, 2400-square-foot home would be a great interim residence, offering the possibility of later rental revenue. The unrestricted parcel has abundant potential building sites (several with road frontage) and multiple vehicular access easements to permit the addition of driveways on three sides of the property. Building lots could be subdivided and sold without compromising the privacy of the lake and the primary residence, providing substantial value.

Buyers with an interest in keeping or hosting horses will appreciate the extensive fenced pastures, outdoor riding arena, six-stall barn (50'x90') with a tack room and sitting areas, expansive hay barn, and five bays of covered equipment/vehicle storage.

Some of the property has been used for hay cultivation, and abundant additional acreage is cleared and suitable for row crops, orchards, or livestock. The lake is stocked, clean, and ready for aquaculture. The ample woodland is a source of hardwood timber and firewood.
