$439,000 / 2br - 650ft2 - Mountaintop Off-Grid Cabin, Orchard, 23 Acres, Million Dollar Views (Marion)

This cabin and orchard on 23 acres offers panoramic views of the Blue Ridge Mountains, absolute privacy, luxury comfort, and true off-grid independence. Two gated entrances and private roads (primary road to the cabin is gravel, secondary road along the creek is dirt) lead you to the top, where you’ll find nothing but peace and nature. Daily life here includes; black bears, deer, turkey, foxes, raccoons, skunks, marmots, snapping turtles, and coyotes roam freely and often wander to the 27-tree orchard to enjoy fallen fruit. The property is within a few hundred feet of the George Washington & Jefferson National Forest. The lower part of the property features approximately 2500 feet along the Hooks Branch creek. The elevation offers cooler summers and warmer winters than down below, thanks to abundant southern exposure. ***All images of landscape/scenery are photos taken directly from the main cabin - these are the daily views of this property - easily million-dollar views of the Blue Ridge mountains.*** The Main Cabin – Totally Remodeled as of August 2025, Custom-built with premium finishes and fully furnished, the main cabin features: 8 × Sungold Power SG-370WM Solar Panels (370W each) + heavy-duty Sungold Power MPPT Charge Controller (more than enough to power the entire main house, even after several days of clouds) 3 × LiFePO₄ batteries ($1,499 each) + LFP Series Inverter Charger Champion 10,000W dual-fuel (gas or propane) standby generator with custom generator-to-house switching station Custom fuse panel wired into the house like a traditional system Martin DV1200 Direct Vent Heater Duolit Spark II glass-front wood stove with double/triple wall piping & marble tile hearth Amana propane range & oven Full-size 3-way silent refrigerator (runs on DC, AC, or propane) Velpax on-demand water heater, Flojet DC/AC water pump, and 100-gallon food-grade enclosed water tank Queen size bedroom, with built-in shelving, cubbies, and dedicated space for hanging clothes Queen size loft, with maple hardwood flooring and shelving, and a custom window Bathroom with shower, composting toilet, floor length mirrors, butcher block counter Mudroom with shelving for shoes or storage, and a large coat rack Kitchen with a double basin sink, four burner stove, oven, and full fridge and freezer 16x8 Storage Loft Electric outlets in every room, wired kitchen & office lighting, electric vent in office Mouldering compost toilet system, hot water at kitchen sink & shower Custom finishes: wall to wall 3/4" tawny oak hardwood floors, spruce walls & ceilings, custom butcher block counters & dining table, butcher block trim, sliding barn doors, pocket office door, bamboo blinds, Greek marble tile Fully furnished with custom high-end leather couch, two queen size beds, leather beanbag chair, leather swivel office chairs, leather-topped dinette stools, custom butcher block office desks & coffee table Additional Structures & Equipment: Brand new 24' × 10' cabin with double lofts and three windows (unfinished – ready for your vision.
