Crystal Cliffs 12 Creekside, Na

Ranch Description

Tucked deep in the heart of the Alleghany, this remarkable 12-acre retreat in Covington, Virginia offers an increasingly rare opportunity to own two unique waterfront homes along the crystal-clear waters of Potts Creek. From the moment you pass through the gate, you're greeted by a serene park-like setting that opens to a 200'+/- towering rock wall and 1,500'+/- of frontage on a pristine mountain creek that glows in hues of green, blue, and bronze throughout the day. Surrounded by rolling hills, soaring cliffs, and 1.8+/- million acres of George Washington & Jefferson National Forest, this property is a true escape from the modern world.

The land features a lush mix of sycamore, maple, oak, and chestnut trees, a healthy undergrowth of wild edibles like strawberries and onions, and a winding trail between the two homes that hugs the water's edge. The first home, affectionately named The Tree House, is a 1-bedroom, 1-bath circular studio perched among mature sycamores, offering 360-Degree views through floor-to-ceiling windows. Inside, the space has been thoughtfully updated with new insulation, solid hardwood doors, Pella windows, and a fully remodeled kitchen. Multi-level decks overlook the water and towering rock faces, making it an ideal place to entertain or simply relax in solitude.

Further down the path, separated from The Tree House by a wooded stretch for ultimate privacy, sits The Beach House, a 2-bedroom, 1-bath cottage overlooking a private stretch of sandy creek bank and a gentle set of rapids. With recent upgrades Pella windows, bathroom renovations, etc., this home offers an enhanced waterfront experience with not one, but two, inviting porches. Savor your mornings in the enclosed porch/sunroom area, framed by wide windows, or unwind with a good book on the screened-in porch as the evening breeze rolls in. Both homes offer their own sense of wonder and tranquility while remaining close enough for convenient access. Wildlife sightings are common, with deer, bears, and other animals wandering through, but the trout-filled waters of Potts Creek remain the main attraction. With native and stocked trout, it's a fly fisherman's paradise, teeming with rainbow and brown trout, sunfish, bluegill, and bass.

Whether you're seeking a permanent residence, an income-producing vacation rental, or a place to host friends and family, this property is the kind of Appalachian sanctuary that speaks to the soul. An old tennis court pad could be restored to its former glory or transformed into a venue, pickleball court, patio, or garage space, and a rustic outdoor fireplace near the creek is ready to cook pizzas or warm gatherings under the stars. The homes are a blank canvas ready for you to finish customizing them into your personal hideaway. With direct access to nature, endless views, and the soundtrack of the rushing creek as your backdrop, this is more than just a property it's a lifestyle.
