Other things to note Nel Mar was built in 1908 and has remained in our family ever since. The second generation once ran the local general store and post office, while tending apple and peach orchards that covered the nearby hills. Through the Great Depression, World War II, and many family milestones, this home has stood steady — a gathering place and a touchstone for generations. From the small family cemetery on the hill to the state road that bears our family name, this land holds deep roots. We’re now the fourth generation to care for it, and we’re grateful to share it with guests who appreciate a sense of history and the quiet beauty of the Virginia mountains.
