Imagine owning your own little mountain top! This gorgeous 6.61 acres of wooded land is a rare and unique opportunity in Augusta County! With lots of road frontage you can build on the mostly level acres at the front of the property (with lovely pastoral and Mountain views) … or go for the dramatic 180° views at the top of the little mountain! Either way you’ll be able to take in sunrises and sunsets from this south facing property! What is very unique is that this little Mountain (named Round Hill) is situated in the middle of the Shenandoah Valley so (with some selective cutting) you have sweeping views of the Blue Ridge Mountains to the east, across the farmlands (and recently built high-end homes) to the south, all the way to the Allegheny mountains to the west; and you are protected from the cold north winds by the mountain behind you to the north! Located in the little village of New Hope, this property is in the sought after Fort defiance school district and is less than 15 minutes drive to Waynesboro or Verona, 20 minutes to Staunton, and about 30 minutes to Harrisonburg. Owner is a licensed Real Estate Agent in the Commonwealth of Virginia. Possible partial owner financing with acceptable offer.
