2301 Smith Mountain RdPenhook, VA 24137

Escape to your own private mountain retreat on 10.37 acres, where the backyard borders conservation land with walking trails and daily visits from deer and songbirds. At the end of a long, gated driveway, this thoughtfully updated home offers privacy, peaceful forest views, and genuine income potential — the current owner has successfully used it as both a long-term and short-term rental. Outdoor enthusiasts will also love the location, with two boat docks located less than 4 miles away. The open-concept main level lives larger than its footprint thanks to an easy-flow layout and a spacious back deck (approx. 560 sq ft) plus a covered patio (approx. 360 sq ft) — ideal for entertaining or simply enjoying the view. A cozy electric fireplace anchors the living area, complemented by a custom slide-out mantel with a hidden drawer. A laundry chute tucked into the living room closet adds everyday convenience. Nearly every major system and finish has been updated since 2023, including PEX plumbing, new flooring throughout, interior and exterior paint, updated interior and exterior lighting (including under-cabinet kitchen lighting), epoxy flooring in both bathrooms, epoxy countertops in the kitchen and master bath, a Venetian plaster master shower, new sliding and front doors, new interior doors and outlets, and a new HVAC system and back deck gutter added in 2025. The stove, over-range microwave, and refrigerator convey. The home offers 2–3 bedrooms — the third is a loft-style space with two closets, open to the living area below, and easily flexes as a third bedroom, office, or additional living space. Both full bathrooms feature durable, custom epoxy finishes. The heated and cooled basement (approx. 256 sq ft) houses the washer and dryer with easy access to all plumbing lines. The property is served by a well and septic. Whether you're seeking a peaceful full-time residence, a weekend retreat, or an investment property, this mountain property offers a rare combination of privacy, updates, and income potential.
