About this home

Wow! If you like the outdoors you will love this amazing property! Dogwood Forest is 93 wooded acres with three separate homes consisting of a 2 bedroom A-Frame, a 3 bedroom Chalet and a 3 bedroom cabin. All of them have full walkout basements, are heated and cooled with heat pumps and have views of a beautiful private stocked lake. This mountain retreat has endless possibilities when it comes to hunting, fishing, hiking, ATV riding or just relaxing on one of the decks with your favorite book! This extremely private property is conveniently located just about 15 minutes from the town of Amherst and 30 minutes from downtown Lynchburg Virginia. This would be an awesome place to live or just get away with friends and family. So unique!
