Large Family Retreat near Barter/Creeper | House in Abingdon
4 Bedroom House in Abingdon
Private, tree-wrapped sanctuary with lush seasonal gardens hides you from the world while territorial views remind you it still exists (if you care). The Koi Pond becomes your new favorite channel. Deer visit. Birds sing. You exhale - maybe for the first time in months.
Spread across two stories of indoor/outdoor living, Hilltop Oasis gives everyone space to gather AND disappear when needed. Whether you're catching up over coffee or wine on the main deck, watching Fish TV, or hiding in the 3rd-floor catwalk nook, you are surrounded by calm.
Just 3 minutes from Barter Theatre, the Virginia Creeper Trail, and downtown Abingdon's best restaurants and shops. But honestly? You might not leave. The outside world can wait.
