Property Description
Nestled along the iconic Blue Ridge Parkway, Wild Hare Retreat is a rare opportunity to own a meticulously reimagined 1895 estate set on ±2 private acres of pristine mountain landscape. Rebuilt from the studs between 2006–2008, this residence blends historic character with refined modern craftsmanship, offering an exceptional living experience for those who value privacy, beauty, and legacy.
The home features 7 spacious bedrooms and 4 well-appointed baths, thoughtfully designed for comfort and effortless hosting. An inviting open kitchen–living–dining space anchors the main level, complemented by a charming den with a custom bar and gas-log fireplace, as well as a dedicated game room for entertaining. Wide covered porches on the front and side provide serene vantage points for morning coffee or evening gatherings.
A large unfinished basement offers a workshop, fitness area, and abundant storage—ideal for future expansion or hobby space. Modern systems include updated electric, plumbing, insulation, siding, roof, flooring, and a tankless propane water heater, along with a new private well and a spring with spring house.
Grounds & Amenities
The estate's outdoor features elevate it to a true mountain sanctuary:
Stocked trout pond and two flowing creeks, including one stocked seasonally
Two RV parking sites for guests or rental potential
Greenhouse and multiple garden areas
Lush, usable land framed by mature trees and mountain air
Only two families have owned this property since 1895, and for the past 18 years, it has operated as a successful seasonal bed & breakfast, offering exceptional income potential for its next steward.
Location
Perfectly positioned near boutique wineries, renowned hiking trails, shopping, and premier trout fishing, Wild Hare Retreat offers both seclusion and convenience—an extraordinary blend rarely found in the Blue Ridge region.
A Legacy Property
With its rich history, modern upgrades, and unmatched natural setting, Wild Hare Retreat stands as a hidden gem—a luxury mountain estate ready to welcome its next chapter.
