This property truly has it all. Nestled among more than 20 sprawling acres in the bucolic Rich Valley area of Saltville, VA, this beautiful custom-built home offers a rare blend of rural seclusion and convenience, just 7.5 miles from Chilhowie and I-81. Built in 2003 and meticulously maintained, the home still looks as stunning as the day it was completed. A wrap-around porch showcases breathtaking mountain views and leads to a peaceful back deck with composite decking, surrounded by serene landscaping. Inside, the home boasts over 3,300 finished square feet with thoughtful craftsmanship throughout and even more potential with an unfinished bonus room over the garage and massive attic space above the second floor. The finished walk-out basement adds incredible flexibility as it could serve as a guest suite, recreation room, or even a full apartment. Whether you're dreaming of a private retreat or planning for multigenerational living, this home has endless possibilities to adapt to your needs. There's also a creek on the property and ample space for cattle or horses. Plus, the back of the property borders Possum Hollow Road, offering possible future access for additional dwellings. Properties like this don't come around often so schedule a showing today! (Buyer/buyer's agent to verify all information. )
