Set high in the rolling hills of Flattop Mountain, this rare mountain cabin offers 3 acres of private land and some of the most striking views in Virginia. Perched near Free Union, the property boasts sweeping vistas of the Blue Ridge Mountains and the valley below. Designed with an open-concept layout, the interior can comfortably sleep up to 10 depending on configuration, with living, dining, and kitchen areas all sharing one bright, rustic space filled with natural light. A 950-square-foot covered wraparound porch offers panoramic views and the perfect setting for relaxing, entertaining, or enjoying a barbecue in any weather. Unlike many mountain homes, this one offers the unique advantage of a view that’s easy to maintain, with direct access to a service road that makes upkeep straightforward year-round. A private well delivers some of the best-tasting water on the mountain, and the location benefits from quick snowmelt in winter thanks to its ideal position on the slope. An in-ground propane tank and generator ensure comfort and reliability year-round. Community amenities include a pool, tennis court, and access to the Appalachian Trail via an HOA-owned lot, adding to the property’s appeal as a gateway to outdoor recreation.
