Escape to the top of a magical fairy quartz mountain in Blue Ridge Mountains

Do you need to just get away from the noise of life ?
Come to where the ONLY noise is wind in the trees and birds. No cars, trains or automobiles!
At night, there is no light pollution , (you would be the only place that would generate light) so the only light is from the moon and stars. See stars shining SO bright!!! (Maybe even a UFO or two)

This property is set on top of a quartz mountain, in the mountains of The Blue Ridge Mountains, across the valley from the Blue Ridge Parkway (25 miles away), in the middle of 30,000 acres of Virgin Forest.
It shares boundaries with Fairly Stone State Park and Philpott Lake (USGS stated cleanest lake in Virginia). This lake is so clean and stocked, it is wildly popular for fishing tournaments.
You will be deep in a federal bird sanctuary, where bald Eagles nest, wild turkeys run free and song birds light up the pure clean air with their musical notes.
This is truly a one of a kind experience.

I am a master degreed geologist, retired and authored. The geology up here is fascinating . These are the oldest mountains in the world and around the property can be found a very rare stone called "fairy stones". Not only are they only found here, there's a beautiful lore-story behind it.

The story goes that Fairy Stone State Forest-Park is actually the Original and "Real Fairy Land".
The legend of these stone crosses is:
"Just over 2000 years ago, when the news reached Fairyland of Christ's death, the fairies cried and when the fairy's tears hit the ground, they turned into these beautiful stone crosses."

Although this property is remote, getting to it is easy because the Core of Engineers owns the road to the property and keeps it clear and open even though it goes nowhere but a small campsite and a boat launch that the COE manages, 1/4 mile on past the property entrance. Basically, this property's "driveway " is a beautiful 4.5 mile drive paralleling the Blue Ridge Parkway, just off Ferry Stone Parkway, Highway.
Only 15 minutes from the first grocery store and Dollar General. ( Advice: be clear about how easy/hard a remote property is to get to).

The master bed is California king size. The empty drawers and huge closet are empty for your use .
The kitchen includes a large residential refrigerator, full-size pantry, stove, oven, microwave, and a dining counter.

The bathroom has a tub AND shower combo. The living room is spacious with a 52 inch television, high ceilings and large windows.
Right outside the front door begins trails to the creek and lake,
Rental includes the use of paddle boards and kayaks from

Meet Chris
Hi, I am Chris Hall. In 2016, I decided to follow my heart into the mountains and the forests of my country and enjoy the peace, tranquility, and true nature of God in these magnificent forests.

I sold everything I owned, bought a truck and an RV, and went off with three dogs to explore America. After nearly 6 years of exploring and looking for my perfect piece of heaven here on earth, I finally found my home here, on Philpott Lake in Bassett, Virginia.

I am a mastered degree geologist and the first woman in the U.S to be hired as a field scientist and not just a secretary in 1974. So it is no surprise that I was drawn to the oldest mountain range. The geology of the area is spectacularly unique. And literally, Goose Point Outpost is located on top of a quartz mountain.

For many reasons, this lake is perfect for a true getaway into nature. It is an Army Corp of Engineers reservoir lake, which restricts having docks or residences on the lake. This results in very clear, beautiful water with no boat traffic to speak of, resulting in outstanding fishing, swimming, and a safe lake where water sports are enjoyed. With a hundred miles of shoreline that you can explore by watercraft or foot trails, you will experience all the serenity nature can offer.

Varför värden valde detta boende

As I mentioned above in my "who am I?",
I searched for this property for years, diving into some of the most remote mountain locations, all across the United States.
Come and see why I ultimately chose this magical place.

Vad som gör detta boende unikt

What makes this property truly unique is that access was developed to an area that is so difficult to get into that the Surveyor company that did the work for the road back in the 1960s, said it was so difficult they couldn't even get mules in there on some days to survey it. But access was required because the government was going to build a CCC project in the form of a Hydro dam and reservoir..
This 5 mile beautiful road has no development along it, no trailers or crummy properties, it's all federal land.
This prohibitively expensive road by today. Standards allows you to get deep into a virgin forest and arrive at the cleanest lake in the state of Virginia., one of the cleanest I've ever found in the United States.
This gives you parallel privacy with safety, beauty without marr and serenity without effort.
