Bluemont, Virginia

Bluemont is a quiet community with lots of rural charm, nestled in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Originally called Snickersville, it was in the late 1800s a fashionable resort destination for mid-Atlantic city residents looking to escape the summer heat. In recent decades Bluemont has reinvented itself as a historic village distinguished by its annual festivals, wineries and breweries, country setting, and proximity to the Appalachian Trail. Real estate options include single-family homes, set mostly in the hills surrounding the original quaint village, with its stone houses and Victorian homes.
