"This is one of the most beautiful properties that I have seen on the market. It is unique with it's privacy but easy access, it's beautiful cascading creeks,waterfalls, trout stream, and hiking trails. Great area for retirement, family vacations or weekend getaways. Convenient to the local towns and the scenic Blue Ridge Parkway. "
