544 Pico Road , Buchanan, VA 24066(Botetourt County)

Exquisite home, built in 2005 offers over 6,500 finished Sq Ft and is

perched perfectly in the middle of the 56 acres, atop a knoll, with views of

majestic mountains and valleys, accessed by a long private and paved

driveway... yet only 1 minute to Route 11 with easy access to Interstate

81, Lexington, Daleville and Roanoke

Exterior of the home features an expansive screened porch, low

maintenance cement board siding, standing seam metal roof, plus Trex

board and vinyl railing on both the covered front porch and back deck,

fenced yard, & driveway around house

In addition to the oversized 2-car attached garage, the owner has added a

detached 3-car garage and workshop which features a car-lift (9,000 lb

capacity), large compressor and loft

The lower pasture offers a 6-stall, center-aisle horse barn with walk-up loft,

water, electric, run-in sheds and several turnouts

They've also fenced and nurtured a vegetable garden plot, and planted a

fruit orchard of peaches, pear, apples, plum & apricot

Owners have lovingly groomed the land, so that approximately 2/3rds of

the property is in pasture, while the remaining 1/3rd is in hardwoods, which

reaches to the ridge up behind the house; it offers wildlife habitat as well

as trails for walking, hiking, riding horses or riding recreational vehicles.

There is a year-round stream along the front of the property.

A second parcel is included, situated along the railroad track, crossing the

stream, and provides for a secondary access from Pico Rd to the lower

field and horse barn area

Property is permitted by Botetourt County as a Bed and Breakfast
