Mountain Views in Every Direction, Steps from the Appalachian Trail — $150,000

The location is what you notice first. The Appalachian Trail is right there, and Back of the Dragon, which is one of the most well-known motorcycle and driving roads in the region, is close. If you came here for that kind of access, you found it. Wytheville and Bluefield are both about 30 minutes out, so you have towns with actual services within reach.

The property itself is 0.71 acres, mostly flat and cleared. That is a lot of usable ground for this price, and the mountain views wrap around you in every direction. Not a sliver of mountains through trees. Around you.

The house is a one-level, 1,032 square feet, built in 1978. Three bedrooms, one bathroom. It is a small house, and the square footage is what it is. The value here is not inside the walls. There is a deck off the kitchen, which makes sense given what you can see from it.

What gives this place its range is everything outside. There is a detached garage and workshop, which is sizable according to the listing, and multiple outbuildings beyond that. Storage, equipment, hobbies, projects. The well and septic mean you are not dependent on municipal systems, which matters in a location like this.

The lot being mostly flat is worth calling out. Cleared, flat ground with mountain views at this price in Southwest Virginia is the thing. You can garden it, keep animals on it, leave it open, or use the outbuildings for whatever your actual needs are.

The agent description mentions 1.5 bathrooms, but the listing data says one. Go verify that before you get attached to the half bath.

This is a small house with a big yard, real outbuildings, well and septic, mountain views in every direction, and trail access from the property. The house is the shelter. Everything else is the point.
