Country living at its best! That is the only way to describe this beautiful home and property nestled away in the hills of Thaxton, Virginia.

The home on this property originally built circa 1900 has been expanded on, upgraded and very well maintained over the years and is one of the most charming country homes we have seen.

Outside storage is also available with a 10x16 shed and an old barn that sits near the house.

The property that surrounds this home is a good mix of rolling pasture and woods that contains several streams.

There is more than enough room to roam on this property with all the pastures and trails, which makes it the perfect property if you are looking for a place to keep your horses or to start a farm.

There are many unique aspects contained in the hills of this property that make it very special. The Blue Ridge Mountain views are one of its best features. From the home and from several other sites on the property there are amazing views of Sharp Top Mountain and Taylors Mountain. Sharp Top Mountain is very distinct with a pointed rocky outcrop at its peak and it is also one of the Peaks of Otter Mountains. These mountains are very unique and the most recognizable landmarks in Bedford County. Local history can also be found on this property. Lying in the middle of one of the pastures at the top of the hill from the house is an old cemetery that is the resting place of James H. Welch and his wife Mary P. Welch. James was a local Civil War Confederate Soldier that served in Company H of the 34th Virginia Volunteer Infantry Regiment. The 34th Virginia was organized in May 1862 and for almost two years the unit served as heavy artillery. Then in May 1864 the 34th was assigned as infantry that participated in the long Petersburg siege south of the James River and saw action in various conflicts around Appomattox.

There are many opportunities for recreation within a short drive from this property. The Blue Ridge Parkway and the Peaks of Otter National Recreation Area that surrounds Sharp Top and Flat Top Mountains are close by. This Recreation Area is one of the most visited areas along the Blue Ridge Parkway. Here you can enjoy camping and hiking and there is also a lodge with a restaurant and gift shop. At the base of Sharp Top Mountain you will also find the Peaks of Otter Winery where you can enjoy mountain views while sampling one of the many fruit wines they are known for. The Jefferson National Forest is also a short drive from this property and provides hundreds of thousands of acres to explore through hiking, camping, hunting and fishing in some of Virginias most scenic, stocked trout streams.
