Wild Hare Retreat — A Timeless Blue Ridge Estate
Nestled along the iconic Blue Ridge Parkway, Wild Hare Retreat is a rare opportunity to own a meticulously reimagined 1895 estate set on ±2 private acres of pristine mountain landscape. Rebuilt from the studs between 2006–2008, this residence blends historic character with refined modern craftsmanship, offering an exceptional living experience for those who value privacy, beauty, and legacy.
The home features 7 spacious bedrooms and 4 well-appointed baths, thoughtfully designed for comfort and effortless hosting. An inviting open kitchen–living–dining space anchors the main level, complemented by a charming den with a custom bar and gas-log fireplace, as well as a dedicated game room for entertaining. Wide covered porches on the front and side provide serene vantage points for morning coffee or evening gatherings.
A large unfinished basement offers a workshop, fitness area, and abundant storage—ideal for future expansion or hobby space. Modern systems include updated electric, plumbing, insulation, siding, roof, flooring, and a tankless propane water heater, along with a new private well and a spring with spring house.
