Welcome to the Diamond Triple C Alpaca Show Barn! Constructed by Virginia Frame Builders in Fisherville, VA (www.vaframe.com), under the supervision of Duane Good and his team of craftsmen and tradespeople, it was completed in late fall of 2003. Two years in the planning, 108 feet long and 48 feet wide, this is no ordinary barn. From its beautiful 10-foot cupola handmade in Texas to its bronze chandelier, our Show Barn is designed for alpaca comfort and safety. With dutch doors in each of seven individual stalls, ceiling fans and a double wide front entrance and windows to catch the morning sunshine, for our alpacas, there's truly "No Place Like Home."
Diamond Triple C Ranch at Echo Valley is 80 acres of agricultural paradise! Using our 1895 restored Victorian home and its period outbuildings as a base, we have constructed a brand new, state-of-the-art barn facility just for our alpacas. We also have a turn-of-the-century Farm Studio, where you will soon be able to purchase unique yarns from our own animals, as well as other needlework products.
Bath County, formed in 1790, encompasses 540 square miles of mostly mountainous terrain. It has established itself as a frontier for good fortune. Located in the west-central portion of Virginia in the scenic Allegheny Mountains, it was named for the English resort city of Bath. The Homestead, a world-class resort, was constructed in 1846 in the community of Hot Springs (about 20 minutes from our ranch). The County quickly became a national resort attraction. Warm Springs, five miles north of Hot Springs, is the county seat and home of local government. The soothing mineral waters from those springs have attracted visitors for over 200 years. Among the notable historic figures who have “taken the waters” at these famous springs are George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and Robert E. Lee.
