Miles-Long Views at Big Sky Tract

Ranch Description

Big Sky Tract is aptly named with 50-mile views over pastoral valleys and across layered mountain scenery. This 60.33-Acre spread offers 28 acres of mature hardwood forest retained after recent timber harvest created clearings, opened views, and established roads and trails. Mountain vistas greet you at the newly gated entry and inspire more awe as views expand around every bend. Hike the lower slopes to explore nearly a mile of a year-round stream with alluring rocky outcroppings and pools shaded by ancient poplars, oaks, and maples. Then explore potential home sites along upper ridges to choose your view, resting at a “view shed” shade structure to soak in the scenery and plan your move. Unrestricted with recent survey, new 4 BR perc site, electricity on site, fiber optic coming soon, recent forestry mulching to clean up key areas and a $20k price reduction.

The varied mountain topography ranges from a moderately sloped homesite at the entrance of the property that perked for a 4BR home, recently timbered ridgetop and hill sides and then steep pockets of intact forest - perfect for nature hikes, hunting, & forest bathing. With state road frontage, prized Bent Mountain location, no county zoning, no restrictions, privacy galore, and barely 20 minutes to the Cave Spring area, this property is the perfect blank slate for your mountainside playground and home.

Enjoy cooler temps and steady breezes on the mountain where wildlife abounds, from deer and bear to a plethora of birds as Bent Mountain is along a migratory bird route. The privacy of this property is assured by its size and topography, and due to no easements or rights of way into the land except for the residential power line that can serve the property.

Communication options are expanding with Shentel fiber optic and other internet options arriving soon. Per Franklin County, students living on Slings Gap Rd attend Roanoke County Schools of Back Creek Elementary, Cave Spring Middle School, and Cave Spring High School via a courtesy agreement made between the counties due to bus route distance. Residents may also take their trash cans to the county line for pick-up by Roanoke County.

Near National Park Service land, this holding is an excellent candidate for a conservation easement at buyer's discretion, offering potential tax benefits.

A rare and premier offering with truly exceptional scenic views, Big Sky Tract is ideal for a luxury estate, mountain retreat, or country playground. Shown by appointment only.
