A dramatic spiral staircase rises through four levels--from the basement to an expansive, partly finished attic--offering both architectural distinction and future potential. The main-level primary suite and laundry enhance everyday convenience without compromising the home's classic design. Set on more than six private acres, the estate captures sweeping mountain views and a sense of serene seclusion. A paved drive leads to Lee Highway, providing effortless access to I-81, while nearby natural landmarks make this an exceptional retreat. The property's scale, setting, and provenance also present a compelling opportunity for a boutique bed-and-breakfast or private getaway. Recent upgrades--including a new roof, HVAC systems, appliances, replacement windows, tankless water heater, and dual 200-amp electrical panels--ensure the home is as functional as it is beautiful. Mount Joy is more than a residence--it is a statement of heritage, privacy, and enduring sophistication. This home has had meticulous care in repairs and updates by the owner and is in excellent condition. All buyer inspections are encouraged but the property sells As/Is.

Remarks & Misc
- Public Remarks
- Introducing Mount Joy--an extraordinary historic estate set along the Civil War Trail, and one of Botetourt County's most distinguished private residences. With origins in the early 1800s and thoughtfully rebuilt on its original foundation in 1906 after its destruction during the Civil War, this property offers a rare opportunity to own a legacy home where history and elegance converge. Encompassing over 4,200 square feet, the residence showcases timeless craftsmanship and refined updates throughout. Six spacious bedrooms and two and a half baths provide generous accommodations, while rich heart pine floors and four gas log fireplaces create an atmosphere of warmth and understated luxury. The kitchen and baths have been tastefully renovated to honor the home's heritage
