About This Home
As of June 2025Nestled atop the Great North Mountain, this mountaintop retreat offers unparalleled, breathtaking panoramic views. Truly a rare combination of privacy, seclusion, and stunning natural beauty perfect for those seeking a true connection with nature. Situated just west of Stephens City, it is bordered by Short Mountain to the south and Eagle Rock to the north, providing unmatched views of the surrounding mountains and valleys. This fully wooded estate extends to the summit of North Mountain, offering end-of-the-road privacy, private access to the Tuscarora Trail, and endless opportunities for hiking, horseback riding, camping, and outdoor recreation. The property trails are fully accessible and run along the entire length, allowing for uninterrupted exploration and hunting. The spacious lodge boasts nearly 2,500 square feet of living space, including three bedrooms, three full bathrooms, and an unfinished walk-out basement that is fully plumbed for a 4th bathroom. At the heart of the home, the great room features cathedral ceilings, a woodstove, and a loft overlooking the space below. The expansive kitchen, complete with an island, opens to a sunroom equipped with a wood burning fireplace, perfect for entertaining or enjoying quiet mornings in nature. The property also includes a 20 ft x 40 ft pole barn, providing ample storage for gear and equipment. Residents of this gated community enjoy secure access via Great Mountain Lane, requiring a 4-wheel or all-wheel drive vehicle to reach the property. The western boundary of the estate is marked by the Virginia-West Virginia state line, and the land is rich with wildlife, including deer, turkey, and bear. A small mountain stream flows through the property, adding charm to the landscape. Short-term rentals are allowed, presenting an excellent investment opportunity. Additionally, the property can be subdivided into 20-acre lots, offering future development potential. Furniture and household items are conveyed with the sale of this property.
