***A Rare Mountain Investment Opportunity: Historic Estate with Natural Hot Spring Step into nearly 200 years of history with this extraordinary property that seamlessly blends heritage with modern luxury and proven income potential. This isn't just a mountain retreat, it's a sophisticated investment anchored by nature's rarest amenity: a natural hot spring.
***Historic Foundation Meets Modern Excellence The authentic 1830 hand-cut log cabin, thoughtfully expanded in 1975, features five spacious bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms with a stunning modern hickory kitchen. Recent comprehensive upgrades include 34 new windows, dual zoned central air conditioning, updated electrical and plumbing systems, and professional waterproofing, representing improvements that ensure long-term reliability.
***The Crown Jewel: Natural Hot Spring! This rare geological feature creates an unassailable competitive advantage in hospitality markets. Natural hot springs are among the earth's rarest amenities, commanding premium pricing and occupancy rates that conventional properties cannot achieve. Combined with breathtaking mountain vistas across 1.45 scenic acres, this creates an irreplaceable market position.
***Proven Financial Performance 2024 Airbnb revenue of $22,762 from just one bedroom apartment, with 214 nights booked and $2,468 in tax advantages. This turnkey operation includes all furniture, licensing, and an established website. Professional appraisal establishes a baseline value at $486,000, while income approach valuations suggest potential worth of $1.4-2.3 million when fully leveraged.
**Multiple Revenue Opportunities: Continue successful Airbnb operations, expand to full five-bedroom B&B, develop a wellness retreat center, or create wedding venue. Local zoning permits multiple small houses near the warm spring, offering subdivision potential. The natural hot spring validates premium pricing across all hospitality models.
***Strategic Location Advantages Located near prestigious Homestead Omni Ski Resort and historic Jefferson Pools, the property captures Virginia's growing wellness tourism market while maintaining easy access to major cities. World-class outdoor recreation and established tourist traffic provide year-round demand.
***Investment Highlights Live in the main house while earning consistent income from guest operations. Extensive infrastructure includes parking for 15+ vehicles and over 2,200 square feet of garage/storage space. The combination of natural rarity, historic significance, proven performance, and unlimited potential creates an investment opportunity that sophisticated buyers recognize as genuinely exceptional. This convergence of irreplaceable natural amenities, historic character, and established profitability represents a once-in-a-lifetime acquisition opportunity in Virginia's mountain country.
