About this property

Blackwater Castle w/ Private Pool, Arcade, Hot Tub

Spectacular private estate on 5.8 acres with 1,800' shoreline, surrounded by water on 3-sides. This 7,087 sq.ft. 3-story French Chateau castle with lake views from every room has large outside pool, 5 bedrooms, 5 1/2 bathrooms, inside hot tub, exercise room, wet bar, spectacular game rooms, library, smart TV in the living room and 1 more TV in the game room, and Wi-Fi. Everything in the house is custom made and unique. Linens, bath towels and beach towels provided. Check-in time is 4pm, check-out time is 10am.

The Castle is on a quiet cove with very minimal boat traffic allowing you to have an amazing experience and enjoy nature without the constant noise from the boats that zip around in the main part of the lake. Long private drive and staggering views from the entire back of the house overlooking the pool and lake. Private covered boat slip and 4 adult kayaks (singles) and 2 youth kayaks you can use. 800 feet of gravel road through the forest lead to this hidden gem on the lake.

Pool Area:
-Large pool - the pool is seasonal and does not have a heater and will close down in the colder months. If you are unsure if the pool will be open during your stay please inquire with us

-Above ground firepit

-BBQ

-Lounge chairs

-Two outdoor dining tables with umbrella and 6 seats each

-There is an accessible dock, however there is not a boat ramp to load/unload boats into/out of the water at the lake so if you are bringing boats or jet ski's you will need to find a nearby ramp. The nearest location is Scruggs #8 boat ramp, 11mi from the Castle. 1755 Dudley Amos Rd, Moneta, VA 24121. There may be hours of operation and fees associated to park at this location. Also, the electricity company (AEP) will drain water to generate electricity at the dam which may lower the water level. We are not responsible for the water level of the lake.

-No additional guests as we must adhere to the county occupancy limits and the house will not accommodate more than the listed maximum guests, so no parties or events allowed.

Blackwater Castle
10/10. This is the 3rd place we have stayed and it is spectacular! We had a blast. The arcade is phenomenal! The house was super clean and well stocked for what we needed. Hope to come in the summer and enjoy the pool. Thanks again!!

Relaxing stay at Blackwater Castle
We had a wonderful stay at Blackwater Castle for New Year's. This was our second time, as we previously stayed there in Dec. 2020 when it was under different ownership. The house is very clean now, and we enjoyed all of the updates and fun thematic additions. The house is well-equipped with toiletries, medicine and kitchen items. These details made our stay very comfortable. Our kids loved the amazing arcade in the basement as well. We look forward to returning again to Blackwater Castle.

Christmas Get-Away
Wonderful experience for Christmas! Owner had decorated the home with lights and even a Christmas tree. The property was awesome! Beautiful views of the lake and lots of outdoor space complete with things to do. The arcade on the bottom floor was a blast in the days that rain kept us inside. I would highly recommend this property to anyone. I would love to come back to this house in the summer. Thank you again!
