Where the mountains still feel wild, and true privacy is yours to enjoy. +/-371.93 acres of remote mountain paradise in Southwest VA, this Appalachian gem features rugged mountain terrain, mature timber and an amazing hand-built 4-Bedroom, 2-Bath cabin. Nestled in a peaceful valley known as Ft Blackmore, this property offers the privacy and seclusion many buyers are looking for while still providing the comforts of a true home away from home. The land consists of steep mountain landscape with long ridges, multiple benches and natural saddles. The .7 mile drive up to the cabin is a genuine mountain approach that follows the terrain and adds to the remote charm. Wildlife includes the usual suspects for SWVA, squirrels, turkeys, bear and deer to name a few. This property has benefited from decades of selective deer management and the lack of established atv trails add to it's exclusive aura. Perched on the highest ridge of the property is a 4-bedroom 2-bath hand-built cabin, constructed in 1992 with attention to detail you have to see to appreciate. The 1,550 sq ft cabin features a screened in front porch and smaller back porch-ideal for enjoying a view that people write books about. Inside the cabin you'll find a 370 sq ft loft that serves as the 4th bedroom and overlooks a stone fireplace with gas logs and hardwood floors. This isn't your typical "mountain cabin" as it's equipped with electric, well water and septic, providing conveniences needed for extended stays or comfortable year-round use. Additional features include a 200 sq ft outbuilding also equipped with water/electric. The cabin has wooden shutters that can be closed for added security and has a solid masonry foundation to prevent critter access. If the only person you want to find is yourself, then this is the place for you.

This secluded hunting property is tucked away off the beaten path but still has ample cell service to check in with the wife—or call in sick to work for opening day of bow season. After traveling almost six miles on gravel roads and making multiple left turns, you’ll find yourself atop the mountain overlooking ±213.61 acres of Appalachian hardwoods. This land offers an ideal balance of steep hollows, which provide deer with safe retreats, and numerous ridges and benches where hunters can catch those midday cruisers. A dirt access road straddles the southern boundary from atop the mountain. From there, an expansive network of east-west logging roads provides ATV access throughout the property with minimal work. On the southwestern side sits an old elevated tree blind, barely hanging on by grace and old hunting tales.
