1768 Shelor Road, Meadows of Dan, VA 24120

A rare opportunity to own a bit of Southwest VA history. This historic home sits on 118+ secluded acres in Floyd County, VA. The original portion of the home is one and a half stories and built primarily of chestnut that was felled before the blight which created the well-known wormy chestnut. This portion of the home is comprised of an open living room, kitchen & dining area, a separate private bedroom and full bath. Both the living room and bedroom have stone fireplaces. The kitchen has a gas stove for additional heat in this portion of the home. There is also a large, screened porch overlooking a beautiful pond and a laundry room just off the porch. The loft area above this portion of the home contains additional space currently configured to offer sleeping for six. The addition to the home adds another open living area, with a third fireplace, its own small kitchen, a second bedroom and full bath plus another loft with sleeping for seven. Fiber optic service is available in the area although the current owners have chosen not to have it run to the home at this point. The 118+ acres are loaded with trails perfect for hiking or exploring by ATV or horseback. Laurel Fork Creek, a stocked trout stream, meanders over 1,800 feet through the property and surrounds three sides of the one-acre pond. The back side of the property has just under 2,000 feet of frontage on Buffalo Mtn. Road that would allow the new owner the opportunity to sell multiple smaller tracts if this was ever desired. Multiple log and wood sided out buildings surround the home offering storage for maintenance and recreational vehicles. The home is loaded with photos of the original homeowner, Newton Hylton, who was the areas blacksmith and was instrumental in the rebuilding of Mabry Mill, including the mill wheel after the Parks Service took over the property in the 1950's.
