    Lakefront a-frameMassive masonry fireplaceFull walkout basementNew roofSoaring chalet windowsBrand new appliances
    Looking for a vacation home or family getaway? This charming lakefront A-frame is nestled in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains about 40 minutes from popular Lynchburg, Virginia. With 20 acres of forested land, it offers hunting, fishing, or just that perfect solitude you’ve been thinking of. Owner can finance this property on easy 30-year terms with a 10% down payment. This home has been newly renovated including new roof and HVAC system, and is sparkling clean ready for move-in. A bedroom on the main level with a full bathroom across the hall offer convenience and rustic charm. The full kitchen has beautiful butcher-block countertops and brand new appliances. As you enter into the great room, you’re greeted with astonishing lake views through the soaring chalet windows. A massive masonry fireplace completes the setting for those cozy winter nights in front of the fire. Upstairs a comfy loft offers still more space for guests or family to spread out. All the finishes are rustic wood that’s been newly stained with plenty of natural light. But that’s not all – downstairs is a full walkout basement with yet more room for accommodations. Another cute bathroom downstairs means this is a place you can stay as long as you want without cramping your style. Finally, the wide deck on the front of the house has the most beautiful view overlooking the lake – your lake! – you’ve ever seen. It’s a deep fishing lake with some granddaddy bass and a little pier on it. All around you are peaceful woods as far as the eye can see. It’s time to go ahead and get that vacation place you’ve been thinking about. Agents are welcome. Equal Housing Opportunity
