Fall Price Reduction! Escape to your own private sanctuary in Franklin, West Virginia,
perfectly timed for the autumn season. Located just three hours from the Washington
DC area, this exquisite 4-bedroom, 2-bathroom custom Canadian White Cedar log
home sits on 119.45 sprawling acres, offering the ultimate wooded retreat and
basecamp for outdoor adventure. A dedicated conservation easement protects 115
acres of the property, creating your own private park with hunting season readiness,
and breathtaking panoramic autumn views. When you are not enjoying your own land,
you are just minutes away from the small-town charm of historic Franklin—famous for
its warm welcomes and the annual Treasure Mountain Festival every September. The
property also is a short drive to world-class outdoor recreation at nearby landmarks like
Seneca Rocks, Spruce Knob, and the Monongahela National Forest.

Mexican tile flooring, seamlessly connecting the living, dining, and kitchen areas on the

beautiful local stone hearth, capable of comfortably heating the entire home. There is

providing a spa-like experience at home. Three additional bedrooms and a library loft
are upstairs. The full basement includes a two-car garage, ample storage and
workspace, and a dumbwaiter to effortlessly transport firewood, or groceries up to the
main level.

The immediate residential compound is secured by deer fencing and boasts beautifully
landscaped grounds with stone steps leading to mature perennial gardens with
thousands of bulbs, an organic orchard and fenced vegetable garden. A covered front
porch and back deck offer ideal space for outdoor entertainment or quiet reflection
amidst nature. Outside, you’ll also find a charming detached bunkhouse, and a
secondary garage/storage building that could easily be modified for another
guesthouse. You are free to divide and construct additional residences on the remaining
5 acres of property.
