Rare opportunity to own 34+ acres in beautiful Southwest Virginia with mountain views, usable open land, wooded privacy, established trails, and a charming furnished mountain cabin. Located minutes from the New River and less than 10 minutes to downtown Independence, this property can be a private retreat, small farm, Airbnb, guest cottage, or future estate. Nestled at the base of the property is a cozy 1-bedroom, 1-bath home, originally built in the 1950s, extensively remodeled around 2000, and updated within the last two years. Recent improvements include mini-split HVAC with A/C, stainless-steel appliances, washer/dryer, freshly painted cabinets, new light fixtures, and a newer well pump and pressure tank. The home features a dark cedar exterior and spacious covered front porch. It conveys fully furnished and stocked with cookware, linens, and essentials, with a sleeper sofa offering guest accommodations. Previously operated as an Airbnb averaging approximately 50 rental nights annually, it offers turnkey short-term rental potential or a weekend get away. The acreage features a mix of open and wooded land, with more than half cleared and usable. The ridge offers long-range mountain views, including toward Grandfather Mountain in North Carolina which can be seen on clear days. Formerly a Christmas tree farm, established roads now provide ATV and recreational trails throughout the property. Gentle terrain, open acreage, wooded areas, and several small streams offer opportunities for horses, livestock, gardening, or recreation. Potential exists for a pond, and a recent perk test has been completed for a specific location. Access is via a right-of-way from Highway 58 along a gravel road, and a new survey was completed approximately two years ago. With its views, acreage, trails, water features, furnished cabin, and convenient location, this exceptional property offers flexibility and potential rarely found in one package.
