Bath County, Virginia
80 acre farm adjoining the George Washington National Forest
Welcome to breathtaking Bath County! Prepare yourself to be immersed in the best outdoor experience Virginia has to offer. It’s all about the mountains and rivers and a lifestyle built around the natural world completely unspoiled and destined to remain so. Journey’s End offers the perfect opportunity to escape to the country with 80 acres adjoining the George Washington National Forest and 2000 feet of frontage on a lively trout stream that flows right below the charming residence
c. 1936 Craftsman residence
A native brook trout stream in your back yard
The original home was built as a four square Craftsman style home in 1936. Most of the original framing, flooring, and bead board was from lumber harvested on site, predominantly oak, wormy chestnut and heart pine. Extensive renovations and additions were added in 2007 and the home has been meticulously maintained since including new Marvin windows and a new metal roof. With three bedrooms, two full and two half baths including a luxurious first floor primary suite, this home is a wonderful family home and equally well suited for empty nesters with regular visitors.
The delightful home enjoys magnificent views of the mountains and stream from every window, porch and deck. In addition to the residence there is an equipment barn currently housing two ATVs, a tractor shed that could be converted to a run-in shed for horses, and a large multi-purpose barn currently used for storage and a wood shop. This unique two story structure is in good condition with interesting spaces for your imagination to consider.
With nearly 80 acres this property has it all. There are about 15 acres of beautiful level pasture along Dry Run ideal for horses or other livestock. The rich soil would be ideal for large or small scale gardening. The remaining acreage is mostly mixed hardwoods rising up the mountainside to adjoin 6000 acres of protected national forest. There are well developed trails throughout the woodland for hiking, hunting, ATVs or horses. At an elevation of 2041 feet, Dry Run, (a year round stream) has cold water ideal for native brook trout. In addition, four of Virginia’s most famous trout rivers, the Jackson, Cow Pasture, Calf Pasture and Bull Pasture are all within 25 minutes of the property.
