A long-time friend is putting her cabin on the market, and I told her I'd pass the info along because it's the type of property some WBers might be very interested to know about.
Here is the description, based on a public notice I just posted somewhere else:
FOR SALE BY OWNER: Imagine the possibilities! Cabin plus 6.7 mostly wooded acres 3+ miles west of AT via blue-blazed trail, near Shenandoah National Park boundary. Near Lake Morningstar and Luray, VA. In vicinity of two PATC rental cabins: Lambert and Tulip Tree. 900 sq. ft. frame 1.5 story structure, dates to 1920; renovated 30 years ago. 2BR, LR, DR, extra unfinished room. Full kitchen and bath plumbed to 1989 septic/drain field. Spring and small pond on property; seller cash allowance to drill well. Screened porch faces babbling stream. Magnificent woodstove, reclaimed barnwood siding in LR, observation skylight in BR. Electric and phone service. Owner inactive licensed agent. $129,900. Inquire via e-mail: [email protected] ([email protected]).
Personally, I think this property is too far from the AT for consideration as a hostel (tho you never know!). But I've been there, and it would be heaven for anyone looking for a full time or part time residence away from hustle and bustle, within 10-minute walking distance of other trail folks, surrounded by lush woods, a Park stream, trails, a lake, and not too awfully far from town.
There is access to the AT via a PATC-maintained blue-blazed trail, and you can literally drive to the front door from the Valley below via a decent private unpaved road. The structure is almost move-in condition, and the owner is offering a cash allowance off the sales price for drilling a new well (presently water comes from the spring or stream; every other modern convenience is already there).
I'd be happy to answer questions about the property here as best I can. Best advice would be to contact the owner directly via e-mail: [email protected].
