A recent article in the Washington Times positioned Olde Mill resort in Laurel Fork as a great resort for DC residents looking for a second home.

The resort is nestled in the Blue Ridge Mountains, and was recently renovated to include a fitness center, 18-hole golf course, indoor swimming pool with a hot tub, two restaurants, facilities for special events and a breath-taking view of a 54-acre lake and the mountains.

Community activities include concerts and casino nights, plus trips to local wineries, festivals and antique shops.

This is good news for Carroll County residents who will experience a boost in the local economy from potential buyers visiting the area, and much more once the homes are sold.

"The Blue Ridge Mountains beckon visitors in every season, but they are especially enticing in autumn. For prospective second-home owners in the District, it's about a five-hour drive to Southwestern Virginia and Olde Mill, an 850-acre master-planned resort community in Laurel Fork.

Home prices in Olde Mill range from the $200,000s for villa homes to more than $800,000 for an estate home."
