Property Description
Tranquil retreat nestled on 150 acres. Located 15 miles from Abingdon and very near several natural recreation sites, this 150-acre private mountain retreat combines natural beauty with unique architecture. This compact home was constructed using historic building methods, antique reclaimed materials, and a modern sustainable passive solar heating and cooling system. The home is made from lumber that could never be found today - including huge 150-year-old Chestnut beams, hardwood flooring throughout, slate siding, hand-cut limestone foundation, wooden gutters, stone flooring and countertops and more. (See attachment). Large living room with windows specifically designed to frame the mountain view, basic kitchen with walk-in pantry, two generous bedrooms with walk-in closets, solarium and skylights. Also includes a basement workspace, greenhouse, sauna, partially screened wrap-around porch, stone patio, brick walkways, chicken coops and room for a garden. The property also features a pond, two streams, wildlife, ATV trails, fields for livestock/farming, large barn, several outbuildings and a 60 ft workshop with 200 amp electric for large equipment. The workshop and the home are connected to high-speed internet. The home has a Jotul woodstove and the workshop has two more woodstoves. The 1900's home attached to the workshop has real potential. The fields are located on both sides of the Poor Valley Road with a nice creek running along side them. The trees in front of the workshop and along the dam are Redwood trees planted 30 years ago. The master craftsman who build the passive solar home with amazing attention to historic details found 20 inch wide beaded boards to panel the 16 ft tall wall, he added slate shingles around the base of the home creating a skirt to protect the wooden home from rain splatter and snow. you can not imagine all the details, you must see it. Retire from the fast life, prep for the apocalypse, hunt your trophy buck, write your own WALDEN.
