Property description

Welcome to The Big Lonely, the last great haven in Highland County, VA, often referred to as Virginia's Switzerland. Spanning 3,240 acres, this exceptional property boasts a meticulously crafted custom log and stone house with a slate roof, providing an unrivaled 360-degree view. Nestled in a 'pure' view shed, it ensures absolute privacy with no other structures in sight.

The main house features a first-floor master suite and two guest bedrooms, complemented by a detached garage with a guest apartment/studio. Numerous amenities include barns, stables, an indoor riding facility, tenant housing, and a charming guest house. Conveniently situated, it is 3.5 hours from Washington, 2:45 from Richmond, 2 hours from Charlottesville, Roanoke, and Lynchburg. The renowned Homestead Resort and Hot Springs are just 25 miles away, and for necessities, Monterey, VA, is a scenic 20-minute drive.
