If you have been dreaming about your own piece of paradise then you might have found the real thing on Paradise Lane in northwest Augusta County VA. The tastefully renovated 1949 brick farmhouse sits on one acre at the end of a dead end road and offers lots of space for a busy family in a peaceful farming neighborhood with a mountain stream running beside the house. Or buy just the 7 acre building lot which offers amazing long range hilltop views across the Shenandoah Valley and already has a homesite with a drilled well, driveway base, and electric utilities on the lot. Maybe you want room to spread out and enjoy outdoor activities like hiking, hunting, and mountain bike riding. Then you will want to look at the 82 acre tract which backs up to the George Washington National Forest in the rear and has about 10 acres of fenced pasture in the front for your agricultural pursuits. It also has a small shed with its own electric meter.  Whether you want individual parts of this property or the whole thing, our multi-par auction feature lets you bid on and buy the combination that helps you realize your dreams. This is not a foreclosure auction. Our sellers have elected to use transparent and competitive bidding to establish the sales price of the property. Tract #2 - This tract is Augusta County Tax Map ID# 4-9E. It is 7.217 +/- acres located at the southeast corner of the property. This tract was designed as a hill top building lot and previous owners had already begun to dig out a basement and had a well drilled, plus put in a shale driveway base. Access to this property is across tract 3 on a 20 ft wide deeded right of way from the cul-de-sac at the end of Paradise Lane. The views from the top of this lot are simply spectacular. You can see Massanutten Peak, Round Hill, Mole Hill, and other Shenandoah Valley features. This lot is wooded in the back and fenced on three sides. The well is 290 ft deep and when it was drilled was reported to have good water and good flow. No pump was ever installed. There is an underground utility easement for Shenandoah Valley Electric around two sides of this property so getting electric service should not be difficult. Current tax assessed value is $103,900 for this tract. This property is in land use which drops the taxable amount to $4,500. If you purchase this tract and do not change its agricultural use you can leave it in land use. If you change the use of the property such as building a house on it then you may be liable for roll back taxes in the amount of approximately $3,600. Multi-Par Bidding Format: This auction uses a multi-parcel (multi-par) format, which means tracts are offered individually or in combination. How it works: Once each tract has at least one bid, a combination can be opened. A combination bid must be at least one increment higher than the total of the current bids on the individual tracts. Combinations and Individual Tract Bids: If a combination bid is placed, you could be outbid even if no one else is bidding directly on your tract. However, if that combination is broken up by new bids on another individual tract, your original bid may become the winner again — or you can increase your bid to regain the lead. Bidding rules: There are no “max bids” in this format. Instead, you may bid at the next increment or enter a specific bid amount above the next increment, which will be placed immediately at that amount. Extended Close: If any bids are placed on any tract or combination in the last 2 minutes of the auction then bidding for all tracts and combinations will remain open for an additional 2 minutes. In short: you can bid on single tracts or groups, combinations can shift the high bids, and you must place exact bids no max (auto) bidding.  If you have any questions about bidding please call, text, or email us.
