Property Description

This is one exceptionally beautiful property that offers gorgeous home sites in several optional locations. A private driveway leads gradually uphill close to the sideline on the west side to the top of the mountain. Multiple mountains both north and south come into view from the fields on the way up and at the top. It is rare to find views more beautiful than these. The countryside all around is a never-ending patchwork of land, forests, farms and distant neighbors. To the north you might see all the way into Virginia's mountains, and everything that rises high in between. This cannot be captured in the pictures. The Clinch Mountain lays to the south. Beautiful grassy fields lay along the next levels downhill from the top which are natural to become part of one's own gorgeous lawn someday. This is also where much of the usable land lays for animals, gardens, and crops. A generous portion of woods lay below the fields on the north side. From the road you cannot see what I am describing. But once inside the property, as you rise up to the top, you cannot miss the beauty of this land. The property drops off significantly on the west side line, and slopes gently down to the north and along the east side a little more steeply. Because of this all of the top and all the grassy fields are very private. This is despite the fact that the property fronts on two roads. Stringtown Rd runs along the east side where the property comes down to form a nice valley between the road and the ridge top. This is also a good section for a food plot and for animals to graze. As well, there is a lovely homesite that looks up the valley there and beyond. In the hill that rises up along Stringtown Rd, you can see from the road where some trails used to make their way from bottom to top and vice versa. Although this side of the hill rises sharply, these trails might be fun to ride, on horseback or on ATV once they are re-established. An old graveled road still exists that runs down the north side along the ridge line. It crosses the fields, and winds down through the woods. Bringing these various trails back to fruition would add to the recreational advantages of the property. The property was at one time under an agricultural greenbelt that provided cross-fencing for moving the cattle around, and also aided crop rotation. Most of this fencing and the wood posts remain. Wood posts appear to mark the through-ways. The greenbelt designation is still in place and should be assumed upon purchase. This is a tax saving designation for land that includes a use in agricultural purposes. The well is no longer connected but the watering station is still there. Adding a well would enable watering for animals and would support housing as well. There is, however, also a spring and a bit of a stream in the valley, which might need some clearing out of the brush once the fall is fully in.The seller will consider contributing to the cost of a new well at an acceptable sale price.
