First Bourn Australia at Fancy Gap VA

Overview

Where Virginia meets North Carolina

This property is located in the Groundhog Mountain area of Virginia, around Mile Post 195-200 of the Blue Ridge Parkway. It is centrally located around the midpoint of the Parkway but in the state of Virginia to attract demand from the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic regions, especially from heavily populated markets like DC-Baltimore-Richmond and even New York. The property is situated 10 miles from Fancy Gap, the famous climb out of North Carolina into the mountains of southern Virginia. It is only 2 hours from Charlotte and CLT Airport, as well as other cities like Raleigh, Greensboro, and Winston-Salem to the south, and approximately 3-4 hours from Richmond and Charlottesville. In addition to the Parkway and all it offers in this area, the property is within an easy drive to dozens of wineries, hiking areas, and small towns and restaurants to visit, including the Primland Resort (45 minutes) and Mt. Airy (45 minutes) away. This property serves as the northernmost gateway to the First Bourn experience, located at the optimal position to balance accessibility with cost and experience.
