Homes for Rent in Mouth of Wilson, Troutdale

Mouth of Wilson’s winding roads surrounded by pasture land and country homes cut through the Blue Ridge Highlands, a setting synonymous with Middle Appalachia living. “It’s a rural, agricultural area, and it's very sparsely populated,” says Joan Collins, broker and owner of Collins & Associates, who has 18 years of selling experience in the area. Without leaving the community, residents can fish the New River and hike the numerous trails at Grayson Highlands State Park. A lack of commercial development adds to the area's rustic air, while surrounding towns and cities cover shopping and dining needs. In Mouth of Wilson, architecture ranges from cottages and farmhouses to ranch and cabin styles. Some of these properties have stood since the mid-1800s. Homes either sit within the forest or atop rolling hills where tall grass grows between openings in wooden and wire fencing. “There are lots of larger parcels for dairy cows, beef cattle, Christmas trees, timber and those sorts of things,” Collins says. Acreage in the area ranges between a half-acre and 40-plus acres. While a property's size, condition, and acreage can impact pricing, the community's median home price is $538,000. The
