348 Coal Pit Branch Drive

In the wild of the Jefferson National Forest and the High Knob Recreation Area is a tiny village of off-grid weekend and recreational dwellings. This cabin, built of blocks on a concrete slab and a metal roof, is offered with an adjacent approximate one-acre lot. Off-grid living is made easier with solar powered lighting. Propane fuels a wall heater and an on-demand water heater. There is a gas cookstove and propane lighting, while a wood burning stove can be used for additional heating. Electric wiring delivers electricity to outlets for low demand electrical appliances and electronics with electricity sourced from a gasoline generator and/or solar panels. Filtered rainwater collection tanks provide water for the structure. An outdoor shipping container offers secure storage and houses the generator with solar panels on the top. Cellular signals from Verizon, T-Mobile, and AT&T networks are available as well as Starlink. The cabin and lot are offered from larger tracts and will have to be surveyed and divided from the larger acreages. The larger acreage can be found listed as TBD Coalpit Branch Rd. The property is located at over 3,000 feet and nearby elevations reach over 4,200 feet. Multiple outdoor activities such as hiking, biking, horseback trail riding, hunting, fishing, canoeing/kayaking and rock climbing are available in the area. The property's proximity to popular attractions including Devil's Bathtub waterfall and water pool (about 7 miles), High Knob Lake, High Knob Observation Tower, and Flag Rock Recreation Area provide a great location for outdoor enthusiasts. Just about 7 miles from the City of Norton and approximately 13 miles from the University of Virginia - Wise, this off grid experience is ironically close to restaurants, shopping, hospitals, and higher educational facilities. It is approximately 1.5 hours (approximately 46 miles) from the Bristol Motor Speedway.
