Staurolite Ranch is a unique mountain property comprised of three parcels totaling approx 119 acres of rolling pastures and wooded land surrounded on three sides by meandering mountain creeks, with view of the Blue Ridge mountains in all directions. The event venue and ranch facilities are built to the highest construction standards and are in superb condition. The structures are contemporary farm/ranch design using the highest quality materials, the grounds are nicely landscaped, and the facilities are thoughtfully laid out on the property. The highlight of the 119-acre property is the Staurolite Barn and Event Venue, which is evident there were no expenses spared in building this luxury event space. It's equipped for weddings with up to 400 people, and ideal for corporate retreats, community events and other larger gatherings. The property is ideally suited as a winery, with acres of fertile fields ready for your preferred variety of vines to be planted. The Ranch comes fully outfitted with FF&E for large events and includes all equipment for the operating ranch currently pasturing 17 head of Scottish Highland cattle or managing a future vineyard. When paired with the adjoining 6 bedroom/6 bathroom 12-acre family compound, (listed separately at 1673 Hardscrabble Road) the Straurolite Ranch becomes a true, private retreat for the most luxurious mountain lifestyle.
