5110 Rich Patch Rd, Covington, VA 24426

PRIVATE & SURROUNDED BY FARMLAND! Home is HERE at this wonderful setting!! Admired as one of the most beautiful areas in Alleghany County, Rich Patch is a peaceful valley of farms and mountain views. Enjoy a long driveway for evening walks, a morning cup of coffee on the postcard-perfect wraparound porch, and the feeling of old-time tranquility combined with modern-day luxury in this special farmhouse. With only 1/2 acre of grass to mow, yet completely surrounded by the rolling fields of the neighboring farm, this is the PERFECT spot! The bright and cozy interior of this 4 bedroom/3 bath house was beautifully remodeled in 2024, with new hardwood flooring throughout (except for laundry and 2 baths), newly replaced HVAC ductwork and plumbing, (click on ''more'' link to see the res t) a rebuilt main chimney, raised tile hearth, and kitchen cabinets/countertop and appliances. Plus, the yard has been fully fenced for letting those furry friends safely play. From the small covered porch out back (for sitting, grilling or storing firewood) step inside to the fresh and LOVELY kitchen! Freshly painted walls through most of the house, with newly textured ceilings on the first floor. Main floor master bedroom and en-suite bathroom with new walk-in shower, vanity and toilet (all bathrooms received new comfort-height toilets). Three additionally spacious bedrooms (2 with walk-in closets!) and a full bath are upstairs. With a separate 3rd full bathroom on the first floor, there is plenty of room for guests. This home is extremely well-insulated but open and airy, with an abundance of windows to showcase panoramic views of the delightful countryside. Exposed original shiplap, in both the foyer and laundry room, helps retain the rustic, handcrafted charm of a bygone era. The detached, 3-car garage with cabinets provides ample space for tools/equipment, including a separate room for garden potting or storage. Bake some fruit pies or eat straight from the tree, with your own peach, pear, and cherry trees in the front yard. In autumn, let your very own backyard sugar maple dazzle you with its brilliant yellow display. A shed-barn with built-in chicken coop complete this rural dream. This home also has a handicap-accessible ramp and entry (with removal of the pet gate). Come live life here in peace, amongst mountain bluebirds, grazing deer, and starry night skies. An easy 20-minute commute, combined of backroads and a scenic, unbusy stretch of highway, brings you to the downtown eateries and shops of either Clifton Forge or Covington. This is an area where the friendliness, patience, and warm smiles of Alleghany's residents make you feel at home. Take in some comedy, music or a play at the Historic Masonic Theatre or amphitheater, and take a class or exhibit your talent at Alleghany Highlands Arts and Crafts Center. For extra shopping, it's only 45 minutes to Daleville (suburb of Roanoke), or drive the picturesque 50-minute trip to the small and charming, bustling cities of Lexington, VA, and Lewisburg, WV. The larger city of Roanoke is only 1 hour away. For family fun or solo adventures, enjoy a day of paddling and trout fishing on Douthat State Park's 50 acre lake, or travel a bit further to play in the over 2,500-acre Lake Moomaw. For the anglers out there, the tailwater of the Jackson River also offers some of the best fly fishing in Virginia!
