This classic brick ranch sits on nearly 5 unrestricted acres, giving you room to breathe, expand, and create your ideal mountain lifestyle. Whether you're dreaming of a homestead, workshop haven, or investment property, this one checks all the boxes. The property features multiple outbuildings, including a large mechanic’s shop with an oversized garage door and an additional multi-bay shop ready for revitalization.

Inside, enjoy easy main-level living with durable hardwood and tile flooring throughout. The open-concept layout seamlessly connects the kitchen, dining, and living areas—perfect for everyday comfort or entertaining.

The lower level expands your possibilities with another garage bay, a full bathroom, a canning room, and abundant storage, making it ideal for a workshop, hobby space, or even a future finished living area. Location is everything, and this property delivers—just 10 minutes to West Jefferson, where you’ll find charming shops, local dining, breweries, art galleries, and year-round events. You’re also only minutes from the New River for kayaking, fishing, and outdoor adventure, and right by the Blue Ridge Parkway with its scenic drives, hiking trails, and breathtaking overlooks. Enjoy close proximity to everyday conveniences like Dollar General, all while being tucked into the quaint community of Glendale Springs, home to the historic Church of the Frescoes and beloved mom-and-pop shops and restaurants. This is more than a home—it’s a blank canvas with good bones. Bring your vision. Restore its charm. Expand its potential. Opportunities like this don’t come around often—schedule your showing today and see what this property can become.
