Just about perfect for a family reunion, a corporate retreat, or an intimate, fun-filled wedding, this McDowell home brings a wealth of entertainment to the banks of the Bullpasture River. There are games, activities, and amenities for all ages and interests, from the game room and movie theater to the private pool and hot tub in the glass house.

Built in 1907 and thoughtfully updated in the century since, this riverfront home is perched on a hillside in small-town McDowell. The setting is beautiful, with the river below, the mountains off in the distance, and the Virginia countryside stretching out before you.

What makes this home so special are the amenities you'll find at every turn. Looking to host a tournament with friends and family? Try Ping-Pong, air hockey, dual-shot basketball, foosball, ring toss, or darts. Interested in games? Opt for cornhole, Giant Jenga, or Giant Four-in-a-Row. Hoping for some unmatched relaxation? Take a dip in the pool and hot tub, screen a movie in the home theater (with seating for nine adults and six kids) featuring a 120-inch projection screen, or gather in the game room for drinks at the bar and live music courtesy of a karaoke machine, an electronic drum set, standing bongos, a piano, speakers, and - of course - a stage.

Every space feels roomy enough for a crowd, from the expansive kitchen to the multiple decks overlooking the natural scenery. Spend mornings sipping coffee on the outdoor swing, afternoons barbecuing on the gas grill, and evenings telling stories by the fireplace before retreating to the steam shower in the primary bathroom. Additional amenities include two refrigerators, a washer/dryer, complimentary WiFi, and smart TVs throughout the house.
