About This Property

Take a step back in time to a quieter era before the hustle and bustle of daily life and social media cache became the norm. This once in a lifetime property allows for an entirely sustainable, off- the- grid lifestyle. Comprised of 60 largely wooded acres, this property features a circa 1830s log home, is fully outfitted with a 2200 watt solar array, 2 irrigated hoop houses that were part of an eco-organic commercial farm that sold to many local and renowned restaurants, over half an acre of 8 ft fenced gardens, fruit trees, berry plantings, beehives, greenhouse, potting shed, guest cottage, and a fantastic well that can run off the solar grid, electric, or in dire straights you can even use the original hand pump. All of this is tucked right on the side of George Washington National Forest (over 3,000 feet of adjacent boundary lines), making it not only a prime property for those with agricultural interests, but also those looking for a rustic hunting getaway.

The hand-hewn log- cabin features new siding (made from trees felled and milled right on the property), while the interior maintains its rustic charm with gorgeous wide plank flooring and original architectural details throughout the structure. Heated with a pot belly stove, the cabin has a cozy feel year-round, but especially in the winter. The kitchen features an operational wood stove, but also has vintage functioning appliances- just like Grandma used to have!

Please note that this property will not work for most bank financing options and would best be suited for a cash purchase.
