View on Google MapsDescription
In the heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains, nestled atop Mt Chestnut, lies a piece of land that seems almost untouched by time. From its vantage point, the sweeping landscape of the Roanoke Valley 1800 feet below unfolds like a painting, with layers of misty mountains and beautiful features of the city below. As its name suggests, Valhalla is truly a heaven on earth. As one of the single largest tracts in Roanoke County at roughly 200 acres, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to obtain a true mountaintop masterpiece that has unbelievable views of both Roanoke and Salem, Virginia, all while being secluded yet close to everything. Since 1990, this property has been the host of the historic and award-winning Valhalla Vineyards. It has been kept in tune with nature with its rolling meadows and standing hardwoods. While the property historically supported cattle, peaches, and apples, it was grapevines that truly excelled in the decomposing granite soil. Valhalla’s French-style wines have taken the title for best wine in Virginia and racked up hundreds of other national and international awards. At the center of this breathtaking vista stands a spacious event space built of timber-truss and stone, which blends seamlessly with the natural surroundings and overlooks the Roanoke Valley below. The acreage is split into two parcels separated by Mt Chestnut Road. Each parcel has adequate road frontage to support unique development opportunities, residential or commercial, potentially including a brewery, winery, or event space. Each side also has water features in the way of spring-fed ponds and an expansive internal road system that allows for easy access to all parts of the property. As day fades into night, the valley below is transformed into a sea of twinkling lights, and high above it all, the stars emerge one by one, which provides a truly refreshing mountaintop experience. For those fortunate enough to call this place home, every moment is a reminder of the beauty and wonder that surrounds them. And as they gaze out over the Roanoke Valley, they know that they are truly blessed to be a part of such a magical place.
