Description
Tucked into the heart of the Alleghany Highlands, this rustic 3-bedroom, 2-bath home offers a rare blend of comfort, scenery, and year-round recreation. Set on a level lot that gently slopes toward the Jackson River, the property captures sweeping views of both the Allegheny Mountains and the river corridor, creating a peaceful backdrop whether enjoyed as a full-time residence, a weekend retreat, or an income-producing Airbnb.
Inside, the home features an inviting open floor plan designed for easy living and entertaining. Natural light fills the living space, while the layout allows the kitchen, dining, and living areas to flow together seamlessly—perfect after a long day on the river or trail. The rustic character of the home complements its mountain setting, offering a warm, relaxed atmosphere that feels equally suited for quiet mornings or hosting friends and family.
One of the standout features of this property is the deeded shared access to the Jackson River, including 1,000± feet of river frontage. Renowned for its outstanding trout fishing, the Jackson River is considered one of Virginia’s premier cold-water fisheries. The level river access makes it an ideal spot for fly fishing, kayaking, or simply enjoying the sound of moving water. Whether casting a line at sunrise or launching a kayak for a leisurely float, the river is a constant and cherished presence.
Outdoor recreation extends well beyond the river. Located just 250± yards from the Jackson River Scenic Trail, you have direct access to approximately 16 miles of beautifully maintained trail ideal for hiking, running, biking, or horseback riding. In addition, the property sits in close proximity to tens of thousands of acres within the George Washington National Forest, offering endless opportunities for hiking, hunting, wildlife viewing, and backcountry exploration.
For those seeking refined amenities, the property is conveniently located near two world-class destinations: the Omni Homestead Resort and The Greenbrier Resort. Both offer championship golf, fine dining, spas, and a range of luxury experiences, adding yet another dimension to the lifestyle this area provides.
Whether your vision is a peaceful primary home, a recreational escape, or a highly desirable short-term rental, this property delivers location, access, and timeless mountain-river appeal in one exceptional package.
