Offering # 1 –  +/- 104.58 acres and improvements. This offering is comprised of 5 tracts. Refer to survey in Bidder Pack. The Carroll and Floyd County line is on this property, which causes it to be 8 tax parcels due to county line bisecting 3 of the tracts. Survey of Offering # 1 in Bidder Pack.

The property is located at 420 Borderline NW Road in Willis, VA on the Floyd and Carroll County Line. It has open and wooded land with good topography and building sites with amazing views. Very good farmland with trails throughout the property. There is a large, spring fed pond approximately up to 26’ deep, stocked with bass, catfish, and bluegill. A Bold Creek meanders throughout the front of the property.

The custom timber frame home is high-quality construction, multiple upgrades, and in excellent condition. Construction was completed in 2017. It has a total of 3,866 square feet of living area on two levels. The exterior of the home is fiber cement boarding with rock to grade, and shingle roof. The ground level is 2,142 sq ft with a master bedroom, master bathroom, and a half bath. The great room has a vaulted ceiling with exposed timbers, oak hardwood floors, and custom cabinetry entertainment center. There are 16’ bifold doors out to the covered deck. When open, this connects the great room to 308 square foot outdoor living area. There is a double-sided rock cooking fireplace separating the great room and kitchen. The kitchen has granite countertops, custom cabinets, double farm copper sink, oak hardwood flooring, and stainless-steel appliances featuring a dual fuel range with 6 gas burners and electric convection oven. The master bedroom has a large walk-in closet, oak hardwood flooring, and screened in porch. The master bath has a copper tub, ceramic tile floors, and large ceramic tile walk through shower with pebble floor. On the main level there is also a laundry room, half bath, foyer, and study room. The timberframe is white oak. This is important because most timberframes are pine or spruce which are lower quality and cheaper per sq ft., not as solid, less longevity, and more prone to bugs. Crucially, oak species are hardwoods, whereas pine is softwood. Because oak trees can take well over one hundred years to grow and live for more than 300 years, their timbers are much stronger, heavier, and denser than those of pine trees. Oak is much less prone to scratching or denting. Most of the timbers were cut from the property. (87 out of 113 timbers). Greenhouse also white oak and 100% of the timbers are from the site. Market research indicates that to build a Timberframe home, the cost would likely exceed $375 / square foot. This is for an average Timberframe not counting add-ons, upgrades, and customizations found in this home. Timberframes are more expensive than other homes due to the high quality of materials, skills, and craftsmanship required to build one. 

The lower level has 1,744 finished square feet with epoxy concrete flooring, family room with granite countertop wet bar, wine cellar, bedroom, office, and large area which could be a bedroom with wood stove. There is an unfinished 96 square foot area behind a large office that could be used as a safe room or extra storage. Off the basement is a large 581 square foot covered brick patio with amazing views of the level yard, the Blue Ridge Mountains, and Buffalo Mountain. The mechanical room houses the pressure tank, on demand hot water tank, and single point whole home wiring.

The appliances and the furnishings were carefully selected specifically for this home. Some were custom made and designed to contribute to the property’s superb appeal. Appliances and most furnishings convey with the property. There is an appliance and furnishings exhibit in the Bidder Pack that lists the appliances and furnishings to convey with property. The property has high speed fiber optic internet provided by Citizens Internet in Floyd VA.

This home was designed to be very energy efficient. It is positioned where sunlight exposure is minimized during the summer months and maximized during the winter months. There is a grid tied solar array that meets electric demands. High efficiency electric/gas heat pumps for heating and cooling.
