Lakefront Chalet on 20 Acres of Wilderness Beauty
Looking for a private forest setting? This newly renovated chalet has a lot to offer! With a full finished walkout basement and two stories above that, it commands beautiful mountain and lake views from the upper deck and is ready for move-in. And with more than 20 acres you’ll have all the recreational opportunity you can enjoy.
As you pull in around the wooded, private lake 40 minutes from Lynchburg, Virginia, you drive up the hill to the basement entrance into the covered parking area. You enter the large recreational room in the basement which is nicely finished. There’s even a bonus room with a brand new construction bathroom in the back. You go up the stairs to the main level and are greeted with the open kitchen plan. The glowing butcher block tops and perfectly appointed stainless appliances are just right. On your right are the main floor bathroom and another bedroom, and a tidy deck tucked up against the side of the hill. On your left are the living and dining room area with eye-popping views through the windows all around and a door leading out past the massive masonry fireplace onto the main floor deck.
As you continue up the stairs, you discover two more bedrooms and another door out onto the top floor deck. From there you can see the majestic mountains all around and have an incredible view looking down onto the deep fishing lake, which is on the property. You’ve come home!
