350 Plus Acre Multi-Use Farm & Hunting Retreat – Griffithsville, WV Four Distinct Living Spaces: - Two standalone single-family homes - One wellhouse studio apartment - One barn studio apartment Discover an exceptional opportunity to own 320-350 acres of prime West Virginia countryside in Griffithsville, just 9 miles from Hamlin and 25 miles from Charleston. This versatile property blends productive farmland, mature timber, multiple residences, and turnkey equipment—making it ideal for a working farm, hunting retreat, or private family compound. The farm is at the end of Sams Branch Road, a single lane, partially paved and partially rock road that winds its way along Sams Branch, a stream that runs through the heart of the farm. The farm has been part of the Deardorff family for 56 years fulfilling a passion that Al Deardorff had for farmland since his youth growing up on a farm. The land features approximately 50 acres of cleared fields suitable for farming or livestock, along with 270-300 acres of mature hardwood forest that has not been timbered in decades, offering significant future value. A scenic creek runs through the property, enhancing both its beauty and wildlife appeal, while the land remains outside of a flood plain. Improvements include two well-maintained farmhouses, both with electricity, phone access, natural gas heat, and reliable well water that has been tested for drinking. The primary home offers approximately 1100 square feet, while the second home provides 1500 square feet—perfect for extended family, guests, or rental income. Out the back door of the main house is the well house. Additional living space can be found up on the second floor. A small apartment in the well house is perfect for one or two people wanting a cozy place separate from the main house. Secondly, a fully equipped studio apartment above the barn, complete with new hardwood floors, kitchen, and full bathroom. Just out the back door is the well house where the water that feeds the main house and barn comes from. The large barn is built with a combination of wood and cinderblock construction, designed for durability and functionality. It features a secure enclosed area with a standard entry door and a 15-foot roll-up door, ideal for storing heavy equipment, machinery, or recreational vehicles. A working restroom adds convenience, and the structure remains dry year-round. The tractor barn has a built in sub-floor area (oil changing pit) for working underneath any vehicle necessary. The property is accessed by a well-maintained rock road approximately one mile from Route 3, with recently added gravel ensuring dependable access. Included in the sale is a very low mileage, 15-year-old Kubota tractor equipped with a front loader, backhoe, and pull-behind mower, along with a tiller, 5-foot rake, and a 10-foot trailer—providing a ready-to-operate setup from day one. Abundant wildlife, including deer and turkey, makes this property a true sportsman’s paradise. Whether you're seeking a productive agricultural investment, a recreational getaway, or a private rural homestead, this property offers unmatched versatility and long-term potential. If it is solitude and privacy that you are looking for, this farm is ideal. With only two families at the mouth of the hollow, one being a unique Christmas Tree Farm, the remainder of the watershed basin would be yours. Approximately 1 mile from end-to-end, this property is a quiet relief from the rest of the world.
