About this House

****UNDER CONTRACT**** Please contact me if you would like to submit a back-up offer in case pending contract does not go though****
Nestled in 6.56 acres of gorgeous Blue Ridge Mountains, our three bedroom, one bathroom mountain cabin is truly the place to get away from it all! Furnished in a cozy, cottage style peppered with antiques, you will truly be able to rest, relax and rejuvenate in the arms of Mother Nature. With a tin roof, covered front porch (complete with rocking chairs) cozy den, you will enjoy waking up every morning to the smell of fresh air and birds chirping. A storybook creek runs along the front of the cabin and you can spend hours catching fish (trout, anyone???) wading or floating in a tube. The property is wonderfully private and you will have the entire 6.56 acres to yourself. You are right in the middle of nature... and although we keep the property treated, you will see the occasional daddy long legs or other crawly... That is just the nature of nature!!! You can rent canoes, kayaks and floats for the New River less than a mile away... Make sure to bring your fishing gear, too!!! We do believe in trying a property before buying it, so please check out our listing on AirBnB and book your stay to really get a feel of what it would be like if this charming home were yours!!! https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/36730355?s=67&shared_item_type=1&virality_entry_point=1&sharer_id=276012253

"There is a wonderful park with a trail you can walk your dog. There is a basketball, court, baseball fields, tennis courts, community, pool, and the main thing about living in Independence Virginia is most of the homes have land so you actually have more space for your dogs/Animal to run Free"
