White Hawk Ridge - 50 +/- Acres
Some properties are simply houses on land. White Hawk Ridge is something even more rare: a 50± acre mountain farm in Frankford, West Virginia, where a lovingly renovated four-bedroom home, a guest house, working outbuildings, and horse-ready run-in sheds come together on a landscape of long mountain views, pastures, cave country, and quiet woodland. This is a place built not just to be owned, but to be lived in. A Turnkey Country Life
This is a property you can step into and simply start living. The farm layout does the work for you: the house, guest house, animal areas, and run-in shelters all sit together in the upper section, with long-range views from the home's sunroom and deck, overlooking the pasture and beyond into the mountaintops. The lower section, accessible from the main road, holds 13.5 +/- acres of pasture/hay fields running up the valley, connected to both the upper 5.5 +/- acres of horse fields by a winding path large enough for an ATV or a tractor, and is also connected to the pond via a secondary hiking trail. Everything is designed to flow together for easy, everyday farm life.
The main home is full of large, double-hung windows throughout, allowing an abundance of natural light in every room. It offers a master suite on the main floor with an additional guest bathroom, two bedrooms and one full bathroom upstairs, and an entire mother-in-law suite in the basement (secondary master bedroom, full bath, laundry, and sitting area) with its own entrance. There is also a large enclosed garage near the main home to protect your cars and/or equipment.
The guest cottage is a newly renovated studio with a full kitchen, laundry, full bathroom, and is on its own electric meter and sharing filtered well water with the main home. The view from the deck of the cottage is stunning, overlooking the upper pasture and mountaintops.
This property is ready to move into and is currently operating as a working farm. Additionally, buyers have the option to purchase the equipment for farm life - a tractor, round pen, and other equipment-- and can even choose to adopt a couple of horses, a laying chicken flock, and some small goats along with it, for a true turnkey country farm experience from day one.
A Place Cared For
The current owners took on a property that needed tender loving care and have poured extensive renovation and cleanup work into the home and land during their ownership. White Hawk Ridge is now looking for someone who will love and appreciate it just as much as they have: a special piece of Almost Heaven, West Virginia.
Land and Wildlife
The fields are ready for grazing, making hay or brush-hogging, and there's room to clear additional acreage for pasture, if desired. At the same time, the existing brush and transition areas between fields and mature woodland make outstanding wildlife habitat - home to rabbits, birds, deer, turkey, and even West Virginia's state animal, the black bear.
A Rare Natural Feature
One of the most fascinating parts of the property is a cave owned and managed by the West Virginia Cave Conservancy, which oversees access in a way that protects and preserves the cave, and the property, for generations to come. The Conservancy's easement begins from the main road, far away and out of sight from the home and animal enclosures.
Setting and Convenience
White Hawk Ridge sits in a beautiful setting, roughly 25 minutes from Lewisburg and 20 minutes from Interstate 64 -- close enough for big-box convenience (Walmart, Lowe's) and Neathawks, a local lumber and hardware supply store, yet tucked into the kind of rural quiet that's hard to find. Frankford itself is a close-knit community with its own elementary school, post office, Bones & Cones -- a seasonal ice cream shop with treats for both people and their pets -- and a bakery known for its weekly specials. You'll find a Dollar General and gas station covering everyday needs.
Lewisburg: Small-Town Charm, Just Down the Road
For a bigger night out, Lewisburg offers a genuinely vibrant small-town scene rarely found this close to a mountain farm. Its historic downtown is home to locally loved restaurants, art galleries, and boutique shopping, along with two cultural anchors: Carnegie Hall, a historic performance venue hosting concerts and events year-round, and the Greenbrier Valley Theatre, the State Professional Theatre of West Virginia. It's the kind of town that lets you have both -- quiet mountain mornings and lively evenings out -- without ever being too far from home.
Outdoor Living at Its Best
This location is a launching point for the region's best outdoor recreation. The Greenbrier River and river trail are about 15 minutes away for kayaking, fishing, and biking, with an Amish community to the north. Head up into Pocahontas County for Snowshoe Ski Resort. To the south, about 30 minutes away, are the Greenbrier Resort and Greenbrier Sporting Club. Once you're on I-64, Lexington, Virginia, and Beckley, West Virginia, are each about an hour away.
