About This Property
Serenity Mountain is ideally located in the prestigious Falling
Spring Valley of northern Alleghany County Virginia. Situated
between Hot Springs, VA to the North & Covington VA to the south.
The paved drive to the property directly accesses Rt 220 & is
20 minutes north of Interstate 64; providing an uncomplicated drive
to major metropolitan areas. It is located, 1 hour from
Lexington VA ,1 hours to Roanoke VA, 2 hours to
Charlottesville VA, 2 hours to Bluefield and Charleston WV,
3 hours to Richmond, VA and 4 hours to Washington DC. Encompassing
569 acres, this property occupies the western flank of Warm Springs
Mountain & has been carefully managed to enhance the natural beauty
and natural resources of the Alleghany Highland environs. The
one-mile paved drive brings you to mountain meadow at an elevation
of 2,600ft and to the improvements on the property. The views of
the valley and mountains in every direction are breathtaking,
looking west you have a commanding view of 5 mountain ranges. The
property continues to climb in elevation to 3,200ft, the highest
point in Alleghany Co, VA. Surrounded by large parcels and
sharing a border with the George Washington National Forest, this
recreational and hunting property offers privacy and protection
from the outside world. Falling Springs Run that forms the
northern boundary of this property is the source of water for the
spectacular 70 ft Falling Spring Falls that is located across Rt
220 a few steps from the eastern corner of Serenity Mountain.
The most extraordinary feature of this Virginia mountain
property is that it includes a unique Warm River cave, the second
largest warm water cave in the world & the largest of its type in
the United States. The main house was built in 1973, and has
a fabulous story behind it s design and construction, & it
certainly takes advantage of the commanding views, but as the case
of many custom homes, it s a bit eccentric & suffers from deferred
maintenance. To renovate or remove will be the next owner s
decision. There are other options while you make a decision
on the main house. The climate controlled, 3 bay, 10 car
garage has an attached 2 bedroom 1 bath apartment with full
kitchen, laundry, & family room. There is a guest cottage
that has 2 separate units each with 2 bedrooms, a bath, kitchen, &
family room. The caretakers house is the first residence you reach
coming up the paved drive has 3 bedrooms and 2 baths, it is the
newest structure on the property. All the dependencies were
recently upgraded to board and batten siding with metal roofs and
new HVAC systems. If hunting and hiking on this lovely Mountain
property doesn t provide enough recreational activity there is an
oversized indoor pool, clay tennis court & a hot tub. For the
horses there is a 5-stall barn with hay storage and paddocks with
run-in sheds and automatic heated waterers in each field. The miles
of Jeep trails on the property are also excellent riding trails for
horses or mountain biking. The current owner has cattle on the
property and built a state of the art working facility.
Located in the eastern corner, at the back entrance to the
property, just off Rt 220 is an additional three-sided 80x24x18
storage barn, with an attached, 72x32x18 enclosed garage for
recreational vehicles. There is a 500 gallon diesel tank with pump
at this location for easy refueling of farm & recreational
vehicles. This is also the back entrance to the main house from
this part of the property. The property is designed to be
self-sufficient and operate off the grid should the need arise. The
property has been carefully managed to enhance hunting
opportunities. It shares a border with the George Washington
National Forest & has natural ponds and streams providing excellent
natural habitat for white tail deer, bear, grouse and turkey. The
current owner has added several food plots designed for habitat
improvement, making this a top of the line hunting property
