Description

Deer Creek Farm, known by many local residents as the Coonts Farm in Pocahontas County, WV, represents a rare opportunity to acquire one of the region's most substantial and recognizable working farms and recreational landholdings. Encompassing 1,801.48± acres in the mountains of West Virginia, this property combines agricultural productivity, extensive water resources, private aviation infrastructure, timberland, wildlife habitat, and direct access to public lands within a single contiguous ownership. The farm features approximately 300± acres of pasture and tillable ground suitable for a variety of agricultural operations. Existing fencing encompasses much of the pasture acreage, supporting livestock management while also providing flexibility for future agricultural uses. Fertile bottomland fields are complemented by an extensive network of internal roads and trails that provide access throughout the property. Water is one of the defining features of Deer Creek Farm. The property includes approximately 2± miles of frontage along both sides of Deer Creek, approximately 1± mile of frontage along both sides of Buffalo Run, and approximately 0.4± miles of frontage along both sides of Salisbury Run. In addition, the farm includes a stocked pond, a stocked lake, and six seasonal mountain springs. These diverse water resources contribute to agricultural operations, wildlife habitat, recreational opportunities, and the overall character of the property. The balance of the acreage consists primarily of rolling hardwood-covered mountains that provide privacy, scenic views, and significant wildlife habitat. The property shares approximately 2.5 miles of boundary with the Monongahela National Forest, creating direct access to thousands of additional acres of public land. This adjacency expands recreational opportunities while helping preserve the surrounding mountain landscape. For aviation enthusiasts, the property includes the FAA-registered Deer Creek Farm Airport (WVOO), a feature rarely found on private landholdings of any size. Supporting the airport are two aircraft hangars measuring approximately 3,600 square feet and 10,000 square feet. This infrastructure provides substantial capacity for aircraft storage and related operations. Positioned near the center of the farm is a 2,905± square foot residence featuring three bedrooms and two bathrooms, and a whole-house Generac generator. The home's architecture reflects a European alpine-inspired design, highlighted by a prominent stone fireplace that serves as the focal point of the main living area. The residence is supported by four wells located on the property. Agricultural improvements include two primary barns measuring approximately 4,000 square feet and 2,240 square feet, along with additional structures utilized for equipment storage, workshops, and operational support. A 924± square foot single-wide home provides additional residential or farm-related accommodation potential. Outdoor recreation is woven throughout the landscape. The property's combination of hardwood timber, agricultural fields, water resources, and varied topography creates habitat for whitetail deer, wild turkey, and black bear. Recreational amenities include an established shooting range, fishing opportunities in multiple water features, swimming opportunities, and more than 20± miles of roads and trails suitable for ATV and UTV travel. The location further enhances the property's appeal. Snowshoe Mountain Resort is located approximately 20± miles away, offering four-season recreation. The surrounding region is widely recognized for its trout fishing opportunities, with numerous renowned streams and rivers located within a short drive. Properties of this scale that combine productive farmland, extensive water frontage, private aviation facilities, significant improvements, national forest boundary, and diverse recreational attributes are increasingly difficult to find.
