We have completed 6 years (2016) in developing "Chantilly Event and Festival Farm" and owned the farm for many years prior. The farm was a neglected cattle and hay operation when we first purchased it and every year we have added to the infrastructure. Chantilly Farm is now well equipped to produce large music festivals, car shows, weddings, the County Fair and a variety of outdoor and indoor events. This can be seen from our 2016/17 schedule of events.
The farm's approximately 200 acres is about 1/2 open and 1/2 wooded land. It is a great location with four commercial entrances for easy access. The lay of the land is mostly very gentle to modest sloping. Elevations are from about 2500 feet near the front of the farm to about 2700 feet near the back side with wonderful views and near the Blue Ridge Parkway. The open and wooded areas along with the elevation change open up many development opportunities. Outdoor recreation is becoming big business, and Chantilly Farm is well posed to take advantage of that.
- Zip line operation - it would be possible to have zip lines 1/2 mile in length with at least a 200 foot elevation change. The farm elevation varies from 2500 ft. at the main road to 2700 ft. at the hill top.
- A full 10 kilometer bike trail could be constructed on the farm. We are currently developing a bike trail and should have a good beginning in the spring of 2017.
- Development of vacation or weekend homes would work nicely in the wooded section of the farm. The current public water system can furnish up to 39,000 gallons per day and no new wells will be needed for this or most any other developments on the farm.
A brewery or distillery would be a great addition to make Chantilly Farm a daily destination for local people as well as visitors and vacationers. The county currently has four wineries, one meadery , one distillery, one brewery, and nearby Foggy Ridge Cider offers tastings and carry out products for sale. These current businesses already make Floyd County a destination for this large and growing group of consumers.The Blue Ridge Parkway which is only a few miles away, has about 20 million travelers every year looking for a place to stay and a stop over destination.-
Tiny homes are becoming popular and a tiny home development for weekend or vacation homes may work well in this area. We are close to very large population centers in North Carolina. Many of these people are looking for mountain weekend, summer or retirement home locations and Chantilly Farm would fill this need nicely. Our full service RV park is a popular destination for the North Carolina folks and many express interest in a more permanent retreat home in this area. -
Large RV resort park - We currently have a 25 unit full service RV park that is often full and sometimes with additional dry camping RV campers. The farm with the great views, public water system, and easy access to the Blue Ridge Park Way could easily be built into a major RV Resort park with hundreds of sites. These large well developed RV resort parks are becoming very popular. The current infrastructure of the 4000 square foot music barn, large stage, wooded hiking and bike trails, and public water system would work well as as part of an RV Resort Park.
