Description: Historic and Romantic Balcony Downs is an integral part of Rockbridge county's history. Nestled in the foothills of the majestic Blue Ridge Mts, Balcony Downs' elegant manor house is solid brick,Flemish Bond -- with pine floors, 7 fireplaces, deep moldings, & light-filled parlors. 2 quaint cottages, each with 2 bedrooms and kitchen. 6-stall horse barn; pool, pond. 50 acres of breathtaking beauty.
The brick dairy barn is 50 ft. X 100 ft. Bricks were originally designated for a Victorian era resort (like Southern Virginia) in Glasgow, in the height of the Iron Boom in the valley. The hotel was never built, and the owner of Balcony Downs, W. G. Mathews, used the brick to build his dairy barn in 1870. The barn is referred to by the Almanza's as The Armory, because it was used to store weapons, late in the Civil War.
The horse barn has a feed room, a heated tack room and a hay storage loft.
