The land
Eleven acres of rolling pasture and mature woods, laid out so the open ground and the privacy work together. The equestrian setup is already built: a five-stall barn with power and water, three fenced paddocks, and pasture. A farm pond adds water for recreation and a view from the house. The setting looks out toward the mountains.

The home
The center of the house is a 900-square-foot great room with windows on three sides, so the land is in view from every seat. Warm wood interiors run throughout. A propane fireplace anchors the living space, served by two 100-pound tanks. The kitchen has granite counters and opens to the dining area.
The finished, heated lower level walks out to the grounds and adds room for recreation and entertaining, plus flexible space for an office, a guest suite or another bedroom. The lower level is plumbed and has its own garage door.

Living on the Virginia side, by the numbers
Buyers often assume the Virginia side of Bristol costs more to own. For this property, the property tax runs the other way. The county billed $2,499 for 2025 on an assessed value of $620,100, according to public records.
| Annual property tax at this price | Estimate |
|---|---|
| This property, Washington County, VA (2025 actual) | $2,499 |
| Same value, rural Sullivan County, TN | About $2,822 |
| Same value, inside Bristol, TN city limits | About $6,051 |
Income tax is the other side of the ledger. Virginia taxes income at rates up to 5.75%, while Tennessee has no broad income tax. Virginia does not tax Social Security benefits, according to the Virginia Department of Taxation. Whether the Virginia side costs more depends on your income, not the house. For a side-by-side look, read Bristol, Tennessee or Bristol, Virginia: which side should I buy on?
Pasture may also matter at tax time. Washington County's land use program sets a 5-acre minimum for pasture and 20 acres for forest, and the Commissioner of the Revenue decides eligibility, per the county's land use schedule. Ask the Commissioner's office before you rely on it.
