There's a reason that the Blue Ridge Mountains are featured in so many bluegrass songs. It's not just that they're beautiful — they surely are — it's that with them comes a lifestyle; one that affords you a kind of comfort and quiet that you can't find outside of Appalachia. It will only take a few steps from your car and towards this beautiful log home to notice the stillness of that mountain air. As you walk past the new patio, picture the crisp fall nights spent laughing together over drinks while circled around the custom built fire pit. Step inside the sunshine-colored door to find an immaculately maintained homestead. Everything you need is right here. Can't you imagine Sunday mornings watching daybreak from the back deck, hot coffee warming your hands? Watch the trees illuminate on Pilot, Hanging Rock, and Saurtown Mountains in the distance. When you're ready, head downstairs for a rejuvenating session in the sauna.
Every corner has its own beautiful touches - like the custom walnut valence in the kitchen and nearby walnut cabinetry, hand cut by a local artisan. Speaking of kitchens, it'd be hard not to be happy cooking for friends in a space this cheery. Spend your days kicked back, letting the light pour over you as you relax underneath the cathedral ceiling in the family room.
And if you've relaxed enough, ready yourself for a quick Saturday adventure: hop down to Mount Airy, Meadows of Dan, or Stuart, all within 15-30 minute drives. On your way back home, visit Villa Appalachia for a glass or two of local wine - the closest setting to Tuscany that Virginia has seen.
The produce and homemade goods even taste better up here - on your way down the mountain, make sure to stop in Poor Farmer's Country Store for a toasted pimento cheese and the crispest Granny Smith Apple you've ever tasted.
You've always wanted that "getaway", that "home away from home" in the mountains. Well, here's your chance. The Detour awaits.
Oh, and in case that wasn't enough detail: this home has 4 bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms, 2,805 square feet, and a 2 car garage, all nestled on several acres of fine Appalachian land.
