Why This Property Stands Out
This 110-acre mountain tract balances true seclusion with day-to-day convenience. You’re tucked into the hills of Big Rock, yet close to parks, schools, and essential services—ideal for anyone who wants privacy without giving up accessibility.
Location & Proximity
Set in the mountains of Buchanan County, the land sits just minutes from:
- Breaks Interstate Park for hiking, overlooks, whitewater, and outdoor adventure
- Appalachian School of Law, local shopping, schools, and medical care
The result is a quiet, off-the-road setting with a surprisingly practical radius for errands, classes, or appointments.
Residences (Both Ready for Your Vision)
Main Residence (c. 1965):
Approximately 750 sq ft with 3 bedrooms and 1 bathroom. Exterior features include steel roof and siding for durability. The interior requires a full renovation, giving you a clean slate to reconfigure layout, finishes, and systems.
Detached Garage + 640-Sq-Ft Apartment:
A second living space sits above the garage—great for a guest suite, caretaker’s quarters, or rental once complete. It needs renovation and some foundation work, but the footprint and separation from the main home add flexibility.
Infrastructure & Access
- County water, electricity, and septic already on the property—an enormous head start for rural land.
- Private paved driveway delivers easy arrivals.
- Extensive road frontage on two sides improves accessibility and long-term options.
- Gas-company ridge road provides year-round access for trucks or ATVs, opening up the back acreage for recreation, maintenance, or future build sites.
Land, Timber & Wildlife
The acreage carries mature timber and classic Appalachian ecology—deer, turkey, and bear are frequent visitors. A wet-weather stream threads through the property, adding character and seasonal water interest. Internal trails and wooded sections invite hiking, riding, and quiet exploration. (Buyers should verify any timber plans or forestry potential to their satisfaction.)
Recreation & Lifestyle
- Hiking & Riding: Use existing trails or expand them into a private network.
- Hunting: Diverse habitat and cover for multiple game species.
- Homesteading: Ample room for gardens, small livestock, or orchards.
- Nature Retreat: Build secluded fire-pit areas, overlooks, or picnic spots along the ridge.
Future Potential (Subject to Buyer Due Diligence)
- Family compound or retreat: Multiple homesites across 110 acres.
- Hunting lodge or basecamp: Renovate both dwellings for group stays.
- Multi-structure residential: Main home + apartment for guests, rental income, or multigenerational living.
- Long-term vision: Phase improvements—start with essential renovations, then add cabins, workshops, or barns over time.
