Two Lots with a Beautiful Home, 11.87 Acres, Mountain Views and Business Potential, Minutes from Bryce Resort
417 Mallard Drive and 8585 Supinlick Ridge Road sit together on 11.87 acres in Basye, with long-range views of Great North Mountain. You get a fully renovated main residence, a new county-permitted steel building ready to finish your way, and zoning that allows a second dwelling by right, with more options through a special use permit. Live here, rent part of it, build a small hospitality or retreat business, or do all three. A 2026 timber harvest opened sweeping mountain views.
The main residence (417) is a 1993 contemporary with 4 bedrooms, 3 baths and about 4,083 finished square feet, renovated almost room by room from 2018 to 2026. The chef’s kitchen has Wolf double wall ovens, a Wolf cooktop, a Dacor built-in refrigerator, two Bosch dishwashers and a picture window facing the mountains. Both baths are fully remodeled. The lower-level suite has three rooms, a private entrance, its own mini-splits, a spa-style bath and laundry, which suits a guest suite, a rental unit or a live-in manager. Outside, the extended deck has a kegerator, a two-zone Bromic heater, misting fans, a hot tub and a remote awning. A Generac whole-house generator, an RV hookup, EV-ready subpanels, and garage that is heated and cooled with storage and a workshop area round it out.
The new building (421) is a 65' x 30' steel-frame structure from 2025–26 with R-17 insulation, 1,500 square feet of unfinished living space, a 50' x 30' lean-to and a 15' x 30' covered porch. It has its own 200-amp service, a second 200-amp service staged for a future build, water and sewer, separate billing, its own E-911 address and a VDOT-approved entrance. Finish it as a guest house, a rental, a studio or workshop, or a base for a business, without disturbing the main home.
Investment and business opportunity: The property is zoned C-1 (Conservation) and R-2 (Medium-Density Residential). Shenandoah County’s ordinance allows, by right, a principal home plus an accessory dwelling on each lot, and short-term rentals of up to four bedrooms. With a county special use permit, C-1 allows uses such as a country inn, rural resort, special event center, corporate training or retreat center, bed-and-breakfast, etc. Separate utilities and addresses for each building make it easy to run two operations side by side. There are three 200 amp services across the two properties. The 100 and 60 Amp services are tied to the 200 Amp house panel.
The location supports it. Bryce Resort is expanding, with four new trails, a new backside lift and the new Shenandoah Center lodge, which brings year-round skiing, golf, mountain biking and Lake Laura visitors to Basye. Wineries and the Shenandoah Valley are close by. The strategic plan for Bryce Resort is set out to continue improvements through 2031.
