Property Description
A true Nature Lover's Retreat, private, PEACEFUL quintessential mountain cottage. Escape to the clouds, perched at an impressive 3,500+ feet of elevation, this 1978 home with air conditioning, offers the ultimate in seclusion-you truly cannot see a neighbor, situated on a quiet, state-maintained paved road.

Great for hosting family, friends & Fido! Let Fido out the back door to the fenced back yard, they'll like the cool mountain air too! These mountain days can get comfortably warm, but in the evenings it's always nice to cozy up by the gas-log fireplace. The home is being offered furnished, ready to enjoy your morning coffee on the deck, watching the abundant wildlife at this is secluded high elevation sanctuary just minutes to Sparta & the Blue Ridge Parkway for biking, maybe 20 to Stone Mountain for hiking and the New River for fishing and floating! Come see what you're missing in the mountains. You might be pleasantly surprised by all of the outdoor opportunities, great dining, music and peaceful starry nights. Call for an appointment today!
