The space
Step below street level into your private, tree-wrapped sanctuary at Hilltop Oasis Abingdon. Seasonal gardens hide you from the world while territorial views remind you it still exists (if you care). The koi pond becomes your new favorite channel. Deer visit. Birds sing. You exhale - maybe for the first time in months. You have arrived, catch your breath, park your things, fill the fridge, and pour your beverage. Then pick your favorite spot to relax and enjoy your people!

Spread across two stories of indoor - outdoor living, Hilltop Oasis gives everyone space to gather or disappear when needed. Whether you're catching up over wine on the main deck, watching Fish 'TV' from the Great Room or decks, or hiding in the 3rd - floor catwalk nook, you're always wrapped in calm.
Just 1 mile from Barter Theatre and the Creeper Trail, 3 minutes to downtown Abingdon's best food and shops.
But honestly? You might not leave. The outside world can wait.
