If you are like me and find yourself dreaming of a simpler life in a home with real soul, you have to see this cabin. This isn’t just a house; it is a historic log home built all the way back in 1800. For context, this cabin was already standing when pioneers were still settling the land! It even served as the original Munford Post Office, making it a true landmark of the Virginia mountains. The restoration work here is incredible. The owners took great care to fix it up so it is comfortable for today, but they didn’t strip away the history. You can still see the massive, hand-hewn logs that have stood for over 220 years. It is a rare “jewel” that feels like a warm hug from the past the moment you step inside.
The land is just as special as the cabin. Sitting on nearly five acres, this property is perfectly set up for anyone who wants to live off the land. It is zoned for horses and livestock, and the ground is level enough to grow a massive vegetable garden. There are seven outbuildings, including a sturdy barn, so you have plenty of room for tools, animals, or hobbies. Water is everything when you live in the country, and this place is rich with it. You have three different water sources: a well, natural springs, and a beautiful creek. In fact, a year-round creek acts as the boundary line on two sides of the property. You can fall asleep to the sound of running water every single night.
If you love nature, you couldn’t ask for a better spot. The property actually adjoins the Jefferson National Forest. This means thousands of acres of woods are essentially your “backyard” for hiking, hunting, and exploring. Whether you want to fish in the creek or ride ATVs on the trails, the adventure starts right at your doorstep. The setting is so quiet and serene that your cares just seem to melt away. It would make an amazing second home, a peaceful place to downsize, or even a very popular vacation rental for people looking to escape the city. It is a one-of-a-kind property that offers total privacy and a deep connection to history.
