Set atop a 1,200 ft high sugar loaf knoll, this meticulously maintained home on 7.22 acres includes a large equipment shed/barn and extra storage shed. Originally built as an underground, passive-solar compound in 1981, it contains a full kitchen open to the living room with wood stove, two bedrooms, two full bathrooms, and a laundry room with extra storage. This area was remodeled in 2026 with luxury vinyl flooring and carpet, bright, fresh paint, a new bathroom vanity, toilets, and modern light fixtures throughout. Inside the first floor addition, gleaming oak floors flow from the kitchen through the great room and dining area, creating flexible space for various seating arrangements. The kitchen features a sizable island, double wall ovens, and a full appliance suite, opening onto a sunny breakfast nook with a wood stove and French door access to the wrap around porch. Adjacent is a half bath and a bedroom plumbed for a washer dryer, allowing easy one level living. At the opposite end, the primary suite offers abundant natural light, double French doors to the porch, a second wood stove, two closets, and ensuite bath with a low threshold tiled shower and dual vanities. Oversized crank out windows frame stunning forest views throughout the main level. The 7+ acres provide ample room to roam, garden, relax, or ride. The large equipment barn/storage shed comes with power and includes an air compressor (conveyed with the sale). With the pasture at property entry previously fenced for horses, the equipment barn once functioned as a horse stable with stalls, tack room, and hay storage ready to be reclaimed if desired. Key highlights: – Private, hilltop setting with home and barn barely visible from state road when leaves have dropped – Can comfortably heat home with wood stoves only and the surrounding land provides an ample supply of firewood – Basement was once underground home – 4 bedrooms, 3½ bathrooms – Two kitchens and two laundry rooms – Flexible floor plan for one level living upstairs or down – Wrap around porch with panoramic views – Barn/equipment shed – Over 7/acres, convenient to Buchanan, Daleville, Roanoke, and National Forest.
