OP. I had a long write up for you and lost it. Check Woodstock, VA. Beautiful country and close to me. Big enough town for you with lots to do and close enough to two additional large cities. Harrisonburg and Winchester. I'm trying to attach a view from my porch but this crappy site makes it difficult.

Edit: Not letting me as it's posted elsewhere. Seriously CD? I just had to outsmart CD. Here's the view from my porch. Woodstock is just a little to the left.

Oh absolutely. Check out the views from some of the local land by selecting for type "lots" on Zillow. Remember that many of the houses in the area have similar views. You could also use the Street View feature on Google Maps and go for a virtual drive. A lot of the really spectacular views are blocked by foliage though.

Ok thanks. I see a veterans hospital near Salem and I use va for healthcare so that would work out great.

I'm off once school is out and thinking about driving down to check it out. Seems like a good balance of less snow and not extreme heat in summer.
