Garber Rd, Mount Jackson, VA 22842

Rare 11-acre family compound just 10 minutes off I-81 in the heart of Virginia's Shenandoah Valley — with no concern for the traffic backups common to I-81, thanks to a carefree, separate route to Harrisonburg's Costco, dining, and shopping. This extraordinary opportunity offers two adjoining large wooded sanctuary parcels, perfect for building a private family compound, a multi-generational retreat, or simply choosing your own neighbor — opportunities like this are exceptionally hard to find. Each separately deeded parcel includes its own county-approved conventional septic permit and engineered site plans, allowing two independent homes while preserving privacy for everyone. Property Highlights ● Two separately deeded large wooded parcels totaling approximately 11 acres ● Current approved conventional septic systems for both lots — saving tens of thousands of dollars over alternative septic system installation costs, along with avoiding the required permitting, annual inspections, and lifetime additional maintenance costs those systems carry ● Engineered site and septic plans included ● High-speed fiber optic cable at the entrance — perfect for remote work, streaming, and gaming ● Smart Savings: mild rear slope allows for a low-cost, well-lit walkout basement per lot (see below) ● Multiple homesite options with walk-out potential ● Mature hardwood forest providing exceptional privacy ● Perfect for a family compound, multi-generational living, investment, or private estate Each lot's gentle rear slope is ideal for a walkout basement, adding well-lit living space at a lower cost than comparable above-ground construction — perfect for a recreation room, home office, guest suite, or additional family living space, all facing your own private wooded backyard.
