About This Home

Luxurious 21+ acre mountain retreat privately situated high in the foothills of Hogback Mountain less than 10 miles outside of downtown Lexington, Virginia offers a stunning main log residence and useful accessory buildings including a substantial barn with workshop and living quarters. Combining two early 19th-century hand-hewn log cabins - one original to the site and another thoughtfully relocated from Rockbridge Baths - the main residence features attractive historic character and modern amenity with its open-concept kitchen and living area with exposed log timbers, custom cherry cabinets and counters, reclaimed chestnut oak storage cabinetry, and beautiful variable width pine floors.
