5237 DOE HILL RD Mcdowell, VA 24458

Welcome to 5237 Doe Hill Road, an exceptional mountain home nestled in a valley of the Alleghany Mountains. The house and 118 acres are located in Highland County, Virginia, known as “Little Switzerland” because of its high elevation, dense forests, rolling farmland, and pristine waterways. The Doe Hill property was first settled in 1870 and retains several original outbuildings, including a barn, well house, outdoor kitchen, and corncrib. The property encompasses three parcels of land, including a hay meadow, fenced grazing areas, three established game plots, and a hardwood forest with over ninety different types of trees. Three miles of trails, most wide enough for a ATV, meander through the forest. A footpath, lined with mountain laurel and ferns, leads to a cold-water stream surrounded by towering rock formations. Standing at 2500 feet of elevation, the house makes the most of its extraordinary location. Set on a hill in a valley formed by Bull Pasture Mountain to the east and Jack Mountain to the west, the views are breathtaking. The 2835 square foot house, built in 2011, is based on a Southern Living house plan and was built by local craftsmen. A finely-crafted home with all of the modern conveniences. Video available.
