Contemporary home for vacation or full-time living. Conveniently located on state road 20 minutes west of I-81 in Shenandoah County. Enjoy the recreation opportunities of Bryce Resort and nearby George Washington National Forest. Explore neighboring Great North Mountain and the charming village of Orkney Springs.
Here's more about the Basye-Orkney Springs Community: The entire area is one of the best-kept secrets and most beautiful places in the Commonwealth of Virginia to live and play. Here you will find the pure forests, crystal streams, clean mountain air, roaming wildlife, and decades-old family names very well-known in the Shenandoah Valley. Nearby George Washington National Forest has 47 blazed and named hiking trails, old logging roads and some homesteads. Great North Mountain is 2,600 feet elevation and has an extensive orange blazed trail on the top. It is just 8 miles on State Route 720, Crooked Run Road, from Basye to the top. This is a hunting ground in the fall for deer, bear, and birds and was the source of iron ore for Liberty, Van Buren, and Henrietta [Alum Springs] furnaces. It is laced with old trails and wagon roads and is a hunting paradise.
The area is conveniently about 2 hours away from the Washington D.C. Metropolitan Area and parts of Maryland and Pennsylvania. Many residents move here from large cities and high-pressure jobs to find an active but less stressful environment. Some move from the north seeking warmer weather and some purchase a second home here planning eventually to become permanent residents.
Basye is an unincorporated village with a fully stocked general store which also serves as gas station, hunter check-in point, and a source of information to new visitors. There are also two restaurants, a post office, a car wash, and two real estate offices. Several active churches are nearby. The Basye-Orkney Springs Volunteer Rescue Squad fights fires and offers quick ambulance service in emergencies taking people to Shenandoah Memorial Hospital in Woodstock, a part of the Valley Health System.
