About This Home

Situated on a hill, relax in the ambiance of the country while being conveniently located to shopping, banking, healthcare and tourism. Located only nine miles from Buckhannon, three miles from WV Wildlife Center, thirty-five minutes from Stonewall Resort, and nearby Bulltown Campground, Rock Cave, and Holly River State Park. Enjoy nature in your backyard with the natural rock landscaping, wildlife visitors, and scenic views above and below the property. The acre includes room for expansion only limited by your imagination. Room for children to play is available, a garden, or create a firepit backyard lounge area. Another location is already established on the acre including septic and water to place another home or structure (prior trailer was there). Place another home in that spot to have rental potential or a guesthouse. Gas wall heater and gas fireplace downstairs are installed. Window AC units or a central air would need to be installed for cooling. Currently windows and ceiling fans cool the home. Property being sold AS-IS, cash or conventional loans. This is a great opportunity for a starter home, investment property, or secondary home getaway. Must see to appreciate!
