Luxurious 21+ acre mountain retreat privately situated high in the foothills of Hogback Mountain less than 10 miles outside of downtown Lexington, Virginia offers a stunning main log residence and useful accessory buildings including a substantial barn with workshop and living quarters. Combining two early 19th-century hand-hewn log cabins - one original to the site and another thoughtfully relocated from Rockbridge Baths - the main residence features attractive historic character and modern amenity with its open-concept kitchen and living area with exposed log timbers, custom cherry cabinets and counters, reclaimed chestnut oak storage cabinetry, and beautiful variable width pine floors.
A spacious first-floor bedroom with sunroom and full bath provide comfortable guest accommodation and easy one-level living. Upstairs, the second bedroom suite consists of a full private bath including jacuzzi tub, one-of-a-kind Osage Orange woodwork, and walls and cabinetry crafted from Kentucky Coffeetree. The log home's premier feature is its 500 SF timber frame pavilion showcasing gorgeous reclaimed barnwood, slate flooring, and massive stone wood-burning fireplace set against the backdrop of rushing water from an seasonal mountain stream. In addition to the main home, the property includes a versatile barn with a well-designed apartment that includes one bedroom, one full bath, kitchenette, and spacious great room with reclaimed maple flooring ideal for activities and events. Separately metered for electricity with a certificate of occupancy in place, the barn includes an oversized attached garage with space for 4 vehicles and a large lower level featuring two additional garage bays and a quality woodworking shop. Other improvements include the one-room cottage, perfect for a home office or studio, and a timber frame granary with excellent storage. Additional highlights include a cool climate, fiber internet, water filter and softener, metal roof, large fenced garden space, and private deeded walking access to the Goshen-Little North Mountain Wildlife Management Area, which is Virginia's largest state-owned Wildlife Management Area totaling over 33,000 acres providing bo
