Mountain Home on 4 Acres in Rural Retreat

What I Love:

Homes like this feel immediately welcoming, especially when they sit on wide open land framed by Virginia’s gentle mountain scenery. Inside, you’ll find a warm and inviting layout with charming maple floors, updated thermopane tilt windows, and a comfortable flow that supports both daily living and quiet retreats. The main level offers two bedrooms and one bath with a walk-in shower, and the large laundry and mudroom create a functional space with plenty of storage. The upper level includes two additional rooms accessed by a pull-down stairway, extending the home’s flexibility for guests, hobbies, or seasonal use.

Recent updates including a heat pump system, repainted roof, PEX plumbing, and a newer water heater add peace of mind. The kitchen features a gas range, refrigerator, and dishwasher, offering a practical foundation with room to personalize. Outside, the four-acre setting opens a world of possibilities. Whether you bring a horse to the fenced acreage, work within the barn equipped with electricity and water, or enjoy the garden space with underground storage for produce, this property invites a lifestyle rooted in nature. Although the home is listed as is, it presents a meaningful opportunity for first-time buyers, downsizers, or anyone looking for an affordable primary or second home with generous land and real potential.

About the Town:

Rural Retreat is exactly what its name promises: a peaceful, mountain-framed community where open landscapes and quiet living shape everyday life. The town feels deeply connected to the surrounding countryside, offering a sense of calm that makes drives along rolling highways feel restorative. Morning light stretches across fields, and evenings settle into gentle silence, giving the entire area a comforting rhythm.

Local life is grounded in simplicity and genuine hospitality. Whether you're picking up essentials, visiting local eateries, or exploring scenic spots just outside town, everything carries an easygoing charm. The proximity to Interstate 81 provides convenience without compromising the serenity of rural living. It’s the kind of place where space, nature, and community blend seamlessly, creating an ideal setting for those seeking a slower pace with room to grow.
