Single-family homes through the centuries
Most homes in Collierstown sit on large lots of land surrounded by either thick trees or open fields. “Some parcels are very large, leaving some secluded, and in other places neighbors are closer, but nothing like the density found in suburban areas,” Little says. A handful of properties are from the early 1820s, while others were built as recently as the 2000s. Traditional farmhouses with a front or back porch are common. Prices range from $260,000 to $550,000. Colonial homes are another popular housing type, with rows of windows, slanted roofs and the occasional porch area with pillars. These homes go for $525,000 to $740,000. Ranch-style homes and raised ranches from the 1950s to 1990s can be found throughout the area, costing between $325,000 and $700,000. Smaller, single-story or manufactured homes can get as low as $110,000. The CAP Index Crime Score for Collierstown is 1 out of 10, low compared to the national average of 4.Shenandoah Valley’s mountains, lakes, gardens and natural wonders

House Mountain Reserve sits within the eastern slopes of the Alleghany Mountains and has numerous hiking trails cutting through the land. Lake Robertson Campground is adjacent to its namesake and has full hook-up sites for RVs and traditional tent camping sites. Picnic shelters, tennis courts and a swimming pool are also within the campgrounds. There’s a boat launch into Lake Robertson for non-motorized boats, and fishing is allowed. Boxerwood Nature Center & Woodland Garden is close to Lexington, about 11 miles away, and has 15 acres of decorative gardens and two ponds. There’s also the Lexington Golf & Country Club – membership includes access to an 18-hole golf course, four tennis courts and a junior Olympic-sized pool. Roughly 20 miles away past Interstate 81 is Natural Bridge State Park, featuring a 200-foot-tall natural bridge carved within a limestone gorge. The park includes over 10 miles of hiking trails, one of which leads to Lace Falls. There’s also a zoo and safari park nearby.Getting educated in Rockbridge County schools
