    Overview

    This property is an immaculate dog kennel and training facility formerly operated as “The Bigger Brain,” set on 5.92 acres in Roanoke County. The kennel configuration includes six large kennels, a wash station, and a professionally applied epoxy floor designed for easy cleaning. For safe workflow, the facility has a separate fenced and gated entry area that opens into the kennel area and/or the play yard. Nighttime play is supported by industrial lighting, and the interior includes a half bath and laundry. The fencing is built to reduce escape attempts, featuring 6’ tall fencing with 12” below ground and an “L” bend.

    The kennel is located in the basement of a private 3-bedroom, 2-full-bath home, giving the operation a contained indoor footprint while still offering exterior play space.

    For operators and buyers seeking a purpose-built kennel environment, this layout combines dedicated kennel space with wash capability, controlled entry, and a fenced play yard. The epoxy flooring and in-bounds kennel construction are well suited for day-to-day cleaning and care routines, while the gated system supports safer handling during arrivals and movement between areas. The property is zoned AG-3.
