Mosie's Way Statement by owner: I'm parting with this property with a tender heart; This 17 acre parcel was purchased by my maternal grandmother in 1957. Contiguous with the 80 acre farm she'd acquired in 1947, it was passed down to my mother and then bequeathed to me, in 2003. In 2004 I put in a good driveway and a well, with hopes of building-and living-there someday. Circumstances and detours precluded the realization of my dream, and I've decided, reluctantly, to sell in order to secure my future as a single elder woman. There is an existing clearing on approximately a 1/2 acre, surrounded by pristine mixed hardwood and laurel forest, and protected by a long Park boundary. Meaning, this property backs up to 1000s of acres of wilderness! My parcel, nestled at the southern base of Oventop Mountain, awaits the right steward- someone who appreciates natural beauty, and values peace and solitude. The proposed building site has perked (but needs re-certification) and is ready for someone's dream house. Just nearby is a year-round spring which boasts the purest of drinking water-and one of the property's the property's most precious feature. A sample tested at a large lab in Northern Virginia came back with a statement by the technician that "in forty years of testing I've never seen anything as pure". This detail should resonate with just the right buyer-it is delicious! Of course, the well sources from the same aquifer and promises equal purity. The woods feature many natural treasures: ladies slipper, black and blue cohosh, showy orchis, trillium, bloodroot and wild ginseng-and morels!- to name only a few. Deer, turkey, birds of all kinds, bear and bobcat all roam here. There is potential for a long eastern view from the building site and lovely winter views through the trees of nearby Pignut Mountain, to the north, that divides Old and Swindler Hollows. Boulders and outcroppings provide beautiful formations, hiking destinations and views. This is a beloved property. My sincere hope is to find someone who will love it too.
