Description
Located in the heart of the Alleghany Highlands, this 13.86± acre property offers a blend of residential, agricultural, and recreational features in the Alleghany Highlands. The tract adjoins the George Washington National Forest and is situated just minutes from Douthat State Park, providing access to a wide range of outdoor opportunities in the surrounding area. The property includes a renovated farmhouse originally constructed around 1900, offering approximately 2,496 square feet of living space. The home features four bedrooms and two bathrooms, with a layout that supports both full-time living and seasonal use. Interior spaces include a spacious kitchen and multiple living areas. Updates to the home have improved functionality while maintaining elements of its original character. Heating and cooling are provided by a heat pump system, with supplemental heat available from an outdoor wood stove. A Generac generator system is installed to provide backup power. These systems support the home’s usability throughout the year. The land itself is a mix of open and wooded acreage. Several acres are in open ground suitable for agricultural use, such as livestock grazing or gardening. The balance of the property includes wooded areas that transition toward the adjoining national forest, creating a continuous natural setting. Simpson Creek flows through the property and provides approximately 1,300± feet of frontage. This water feature contributes to the landscape and offers opportunities for fishing, wading, and general outdoor use. The presence of a year-round water source can also support agricultural and wildlife needs. A large barn is located on the property and can be used for equipment storage, livestock shelter, or other agricultural purposes. The combination of open land, water access, and existing structures supports a variety of uses, including small-scale farming, recreation, or rural residential living. Direct adjacency to the George Washington National Forest expands access to additional acreage for outdoor activities such as hiking, hunting where permitted, and trail riding. The surrounding region is known for its public land access and natural resources, which adds to the functional use of the property. The location offers a balance between a rural setting and access to nearby services. The property is within approximately 6 miles of Clifton Forge, about 18 miles from Covington, and roughly 30 miles from Lexington. Interstate 64 is easily accessible, providing regional connectivity for travel, commuting, and access to additional amenities. This property presents a combination of acreage, waterfrontage, residential improvements, and proximity to public land. The mix of features supports a range of potential uses, including residential living, agricultural activity, and outdoor recreation.
