Rare 11-acre family compound just 10 minutes off I-81 in the heart of Virginia's Shenandoah Valley — with no concern for the traffic backups common to I-81, thanks to a carefree, separate route to Harrisonburg's Costco, dining, and shopping. This extraordinary opportunity offers two adjoining large wooded sanctuary parcels, perfect for building a private family compound, a multi-generational retreat, or simply choosing your own neighbor — opportunities like this are exceptionally hard to find.
Each separately deeded parcel includes its own county-approved conventional septic permit and engineered site plans, allowing two independent homes while preserving privacy for everyone.
Property Highlights
● Two separately deeded large wooded parcels totaling approximately 11 acres
● Current approved conventional septic systems for both lots — saving tens of thousands of dollars over alternative septic system installation costs, along with avoiding the required permitting, annual inspections, and lifetime additional maintenance costs those systems carry
● Engineered site and septic plans included
● High-speed fiber optic cable at the entrance — perfect for remote work, streaming, and gaming
● Smart Savings: mild rear slope allows for a low-cost, well-lit walkout basement per lot (see below)
● Multiple homesite options with walk-out potential
● Mature hardwood forest providing exceptional privacy
● Perfect for a family compound, multi-generational living, investment, or private estate
Each lot's gentle rear slope is ideal for a walkout basement, adding well-lit living space at a lower cost than comparable above-ground construction — perfect for a recreation room, home office, guest suite, or additional family living space, all facing your own private wooded backyard. A 4 bedroom home is acceptable, provided Occupancy is limited to 6 persons.
Imagine parents and adult children living nearby, lifelong friends building together, or keeping one parcel for yourself while reserving the second for future generations. The flexibility of two separately deeded, build-ready lots creates possibilities rarely available in today's market.
Enjoy the peaceful feeling of your own mountain sanctuary while remaining just minutes from Mt. Jackson, the Timberville Walmart, and local restaurants, with easy access to Bryce Resort and I-81.
Enjoy year-round recreation with golf, skiing, mountain biking, a pool, and lake boating and beach at Bryce Resort, plus hiking, fishing, and the Shenandoah River nearby, along with several nearby Valley wineries, including Cave Ridge Winery and The Winery at Kindred Point. James Madison University is approximately 30 minutes away, offering nationally recognized football Saturdays, tailgating, concerts, and campus events year-round.
Finding two adjoining, build-ready parcels with approved conventional septic systems this close to amenities is incredibly uncommon. Build together, invest together, or simply secure the privacy of owning the land around you.
Bring your builder and your vision—these exceptional properties are ready for their next chapter.
