I know that area very well! My bro has 11 acres and rent out 2 nice singlewides and pays only $500/yr taxes. Taxes haven't gone up in the last 5 yrs. less taxes because of less infastructure to maintain. Less roads, electricity, amounts of pupils in schools. It all adds up. He lives in Pilot 19 miles up on the blue ridge mtns. Beautiful and quite. When I visit its great to go into Floyd for breakfast at the blue ridge restaurant and chat with the locals. Nice people. Lots to do the blue ridge parkway. Mabry mill. The New River to fish. The fishing liscences are a little different. You buy a regular one. Then if you want to fish a special stocked one you have to buy a special stamp to fish that particular one. Ive seen the Roanoke star. Mill Mtn discovery center. Bent Mtn. Lots to do. Actually my bro redid one of his singlewides real nice inside and he's looking to rent it out. You may have a possibility. Here are some Blue Ridge Picts.
