23-Acre Mountaintop Off-Grid Turnkey Cabin - for sale by owner

Hello, beautiful people!

For sale by owner (me) is a fully furnished, off-grid mountaintop cabin nestled in the Blue Ridge Mountains of southern Virginia.

Offering long-range panoramic views of the Blue Ridge Mountains, this 23-acre fully fenced retreat combines absolute privacy, luxury comfort, and true off-grid independence. Two gated entrances offer privacy and convenience, with private roads (some gravel, some dirt). At the top you will find peace and abundant nature, with the quiet songs of birds in the morning, gentle breezes and sunshine during the day, and the chorus of peepers and frogs under breathtaking night skies alive with stars, constellations, and shooting stars. This ideal location keeps summers in the South cool with elevation, and winters are warmer than the neighbors thanks to abundant southern exposure. Wildlife is part of daily life with black bears, deer, turkey, foxes, raccoons, skunks, marmots, snapping turtles, and coyotes roaming freely through the orchard, and often they enjoy the fallen fruit.
