411 Elwood Dr., Falling Springs, Va.

One of the most enjoyable things to do in our mountains is to float the Jackson River. The Jackson below Lake Moomaw offers 25 miles of crystal clear trout water open to public canoe or kayak passage. The old train grade from Covington to Hot Springs follows the river and is now a beautifully graded bike or running trail. This home is one of three that share land and access along the river below Smith Bridge. A private roads leads to this secluded home with a short path to the river and direct trail access in the back yard. The home is built around an open floor plan connecting the spacious kitchen with island to the dining area and expansive living room with 16′ ceiling. There is also an attractive sunroom on the east side with a fireplace open to the sunroom and living room.

There are three bedroom on the ground level and 3 baths. The second floor has a large den, bedroom and bath, as well as a huge bunk room with 5 beds set up today for visiting grandkids. The two car garage also has a tiled dog bathing feature. The home has geothermal heat in the ground level floor as well as forced air to all finished space supplied by a heat pump. The best part is the short walk to the river and to the Jackson River Trail.
