Neighbourhood information

It is beautiful here! Short walks bring amazing vistas of mountains, hay fields, livestock and on a clear night more stars than you have probably seen in a very long time. In the summertime the fireflies can be amazing! 5 authentic, rustic, historic yet modernized log cabins at least 150+ yards from each other sit on 250 acres for farmland. Four hay fields and drop-jaw country/mountain scenery from many places on the land. Only 4 miles from historic downtown Lexington, VA.
