What's special

Natural rock formationsMostly wooded terrainSurrounded by mature treesLandscape that invites explorationWooded acres

Tucked away in the mountains of West Virginia, this lovely retreat sits on just under 8 wooded acres along a beautiful creek complete with its own waterfall. The setting feels like a private hideaway—surrounded by mature trees, natural rock formations, and the peaceful sound of running water. The main residence includes the added benefit of free natural gas, keeping utility costs low year-round. A second cottage is already in place and ready to be finished, offering a rare opportunity for flexibility—ideal for a future guest cabin, creative studio, getaway space, or an income-producing addition. With mostly wooded terrain and a landscape that invites exploration, the property is well suited for a mountain escape, short-term rental potential, or a serene secondary home. If you're seeking an investment with character or a retreat that captures the rustic charm of West Virginia’s highlands, this property delivers a one-of-a-kind setting and endless possibilities.
