Tucked deep in the mountains of Pilgrims Knob, Virginia, this 3-bedroom, 1-bath home offers 1,224 square feet of living space on an expansive 50-acre parcel in Buchanan County. Built in 1925, the home has been cared for by the same family for generations, and the land has not been timbered since the 1940s—making it a rare property with untouched, mature forest and a rich sense of history.
Inside, the home features a traditional layout with a cozy living room, a dining area, and an eat-in kitchen. Many of the rooms have hardwood floors hidden beneath the carpet, offering potential for restoration and added charm. Three fireplaces—each capable of burning wood or coal—serve as both a functional heating source and a rustic reminder of the home’s early mountain heritage. For anyone who appreciates historic homes with character, this property holds plenty of possibilities.
Just outside, a covered carport sits beside the home. In addition to keeping vehicles sheltered, it also functions well as a shaded outdoor sitting area, perfect for family gatherings or quiet mornings spent enjoying the mountain air. Near the house, a small orchard provides seasonal fruits, including apples, pears, blueberries, and blackberries. It’s a charming addition for anyone who values homegrown produce or wants to expand the orchard over time.
One of the standout features of the property is the detached, insulated 3-car garage added in 2004. It includes gas heat, electricity, floor drains, and a solid concrete floor—making it an excellent space for vehicles, equipment, hobbies, or even a workshop. An older above-ground pool is also included, along with a pool house equipped with a toilet and extra storage, adding convenience for summer activities.
For recreation, the property offers a surprising bonus: a large, paved tennis and basketball court, fully fenced for safety. Whether used for sports, outdoor gatherings, or even repurposed for other activities, it adds a unique and functional element to the land.
Fifty acres of wooded terrain stretch behind and around the home, with several walking trails already in place. These paths make it easy to explore the property, enjoy wildlife, or simply take in the quiet beauty of the surrounding forest. The acreage offers plenty of opportunity for hiking, hunting, or creating new trails and outdoor spaces.
All appliances remain with the home, offering a move-in-ready starting point for anyone looking to make updates over time. The combination of historic charm, practical improvements, and untouched woodland makes this Pilgrims Knob property a rare find—ideal for those seeking privacy, space, and a connection to mountain living.
