Description

A mountain view is one thing. Owning 57 acres of the mountain with a true log home already standing is something altogether different. This is a rare opportunity to secure the land, the structure and a substantial head start, then finish the property with your own touches instead of paying a premium for someone else's completed vision. Construction began in 2013 on the true log home, which is laid out with two bedrooms and two full baths over a full basement. The interior remains largely unfinished, giving the next owner a clean canvas to finish it their way. The home is already wired for electricity, and two of the major infrastructure pieces are already on site: a drilled well and an installed septic system, both ready for the next step of being connected to the home. That puts you well ahead of starting from scratch and lets you focus on turning the cabin into the mountain place you've been looking for. Then there are the 57+ acres, and this is where the property really comes alive. High knobs, long ridges, wooded hollows and valleys give you the kind of terrain that makes you want to see what is around the next bend. There is room to ride four-wheelers, hunt, shoot, cut trails, hike the ridges or simply disappear into your own piece of West Virginia for the weekend. Selective clearing could open up some impressive long-range mountain views, while the woods and varied terrain create outstanding wildlife habitat. Simply put, big bucks, big bears and big gobblers are all part of the landscape. Direct access from a county road makes getting here straightforward, but once you are on the property, there is plenty of room to spread out and leave the rest of the world behind. And because the acreage is unrestricted, you are not boxed into one vision. Finish the existing log home. Build elsewhere on the property. Create a place for family and friends to gather every fall. Make it a hunting property first and improve it a little at a time. Or simply hold onto 57 acres of mountain ground and enjoy having a piece of the mountain that is entirely your own. This is the kind of property that can be something different to every buyer. For one person, it is deer camp. For another, it is a weekend escape from Northern Virginia or Washington, D.C. For someone else, it may be the beginning of a permanent move to the mountains. You can finish a cabin. You can add the comforts, character and finishing touches over time. What you cannot manufacture is 57 acres of unrestricted mountain country with good access, tremendous recreational appeal and a true log home already standing. Here, the rarest pieces are already in place. The rest is yours to create.
