Extended Description (English):
For the first time since 1937, this extraordinary 50-acre wooded estate in Buchanan County is being offered for sale—an opportunity that blends rich history, natural beauty, and rustic charm in one incredible property. This land has not been timbered since the 1940s, making it a rare piece of untouched Appalachian forest, ideal for those seeking serenity, seclusion, or sustainable living.
At the heart of the property sits a 3-bedroom, 1-bath vintage cottage, filled with warmth and character. Featuring a spacious eat-in kitchen, dining area, and living room, this home offers original hardwood flooring beneath the carpet in several rooms and three wood/coal-burning fireplaces, perfect for cozy evenings. A covered carport attached to the home doubles as an extended porch or a charming picnic space, overlooking your personal slice of mountain paradise.
This land is teeming with features to support a self-sufficient or recreational lifestyle. You’ll find a thriving orchard area with apple and pear trees, blueberry bushes, and blackberry vines for seasonal harvesting. Walk the handmade trails through old-growth forest, rich with wildlife and tranquility.
In 2004, the owner constructed a 3-car detached insulated garage, complete with a concrete floor, floor drains, gas heat, and electric—ideal for a workshop, storage, or hobby space. Additional features include an older above-ground pool with a dedicated pool building (with toilet and storage), and a large, paved, and fenced tennis/basketball court—a truly unexpected bonus for an off-grid property.
Whether you’re seeking a family legacy homestead, a private nature reserve, or simply a quiet retreat to hike, garden, and breathe fresh mountain air, this property has it all. With decades of history and pride of ownership, this land is waiting for its next steward.
