Floyd VA Farm, Home, and Cottage with Three Ponds For Sale Tucked up high in the Blue Ridge Mountains Heavens Holler almost always has the loveliest weather. At near 3,000 feet elevation, the air is clear, sunshine bright, water pure, bugs are few and humidity low. All the water starts here and flows downhill. There are well over 10 springs that bubble right out of the ground. Three ponds are filled by them and constantly flow. The Ponds are filled with prize size catfish, bass, crappie and bluegill fish that have been fed for years. Two of the ponds have docks for swimming, fishing or just plain lazing around. There are several pastures for grazing, hay full of orchard grass, timothy and clover. With a direct Southern view of the famous Floyd County Buffalo Mountain that stands just under 4,000 feet the vistas at Heavens Holler are absolutely among the best in the Blue Ridge Mountains. The property has 40 acres of mostly open and fenced pastures with a bit of woods. The home on the property has just under 2,700 square feet. The home has excellent design and large decks that take advantage of the beautiful scenery this property offers. There is a guest cottage, a barn, sheds, and a pub located on the property. The pub is a small building designed and decorated with a wet bar inside for entertaining guests or just hanging out. Southern history is no stranger to the property. Once a family farm it still has the family cemetery on it. Though the buildings that stood in that era stand no more the stories of how before the Great Depression and the Civil War there was a large 3 story house, a large log cabin house and one of the most sizable barns in Floyd County. Now in its place in the heart of the holler chosen for the special level area, protected by the winter winds yet still capturing the long range views with no neighbors in site, the house and supporting buildings now stand. When the present owners bought Heavens Holler some 9 years ago they brought with them a love for history along with artifacts from Europe and Early America that they wove into the structures as they brought them back from the dim past. Now the buildings are full of life and stories. There are steps leading up the barn and the Fountain Cottage from the Sixteenth Century. The chandler in the Loft Suite is a fine antique they brought back from Florence Italy, the stain glass transom doors that came from turn of the century Europe. There are many more items throughout the house that have a story. The Architectural detail is inspired by European and Early American roots. The designer has been published in Architectural Digest, Country Living and many other national magazines. The Landscaping and Gardens are throughout the 40 acres. The old logging trails have been groomed and turned into delightful walking, biking and golf-cart paths wide enough to keep maintained by the 2015 4060 Kubota tractor that comes with the property. Wild and domestic Rhododendrons and Mountain Laurel are placed in the perfect spots. Stone steps dating back to the 16th and 19th Century brought over from Provence France lead the brick walkways that connect the Fountain Cottage and Barn to the main house. The Vistas are simply magical. Stunning from any angle. The Southern views almost directly face the Buffalo Mountain, Floyd County's proclaimed gem of the Virginia Blue Ridge Mountains.
