Originally an apple and peach orchard in the 1940s, Peacock Hill is now a 350-acre planned neighborhood with approximately 175 homes, offering quiet country living in the Ivy Valley. The surrounding area is rural in character, with large farms and heavily wooded slopes. Views of both the Ragged Mountains and the more distant Blue Ridge are superb, and the ruggedly interesting topography creates an ideal setting for a planned residential community. Peacock Hill offers two tennis courts, a children's playground, walking trails, and a five-acre lake that invites canoeing, fishing, and picnics. There are approximately 100 acres of common ground that consist of mountainsides, meadows, streams, and valleys, where wildlife abounds.
