Fancy Gap, VA 24328

Description:

A year round vacation home that could also be a primary residence. 3,200' above sea level. Rarely too hot or too cold ... always a mild breeze. Very accessible, half mile off the Blue Ridge Parkway on maintained gravel road. Cottage on 1 acre, not secluded, very open with other cottages in view. My favorite feature is the 12'x 24' roofed porch with six red rockers looking out on outstanding long southern view ... great for gazing. Short view is of huge green lawn leading down to a small pond and forest located on adjoining 5 acres (5 acres also available for an additional $50,000 if purchased with cottage). I bought the original structure on 1 acre in 2004. It was well built (1971) with 1 bedroom, 1 bath and a living room. In 2005 I did a complete makeover with additions resulting in 4 bedrooms, 3 baths, a cathedral great room with fire place, new kitchen and the roofed porch. All floors are 12" pine boards. All walls are painted panelling. The roof is bronze colored metal.
