This gorgeous property showcases striking views of the Appalachian Mountains in every direction. A 25-acre meadow sits on top of a long flat ridge and serves as summer hay production and a year-round food source for wildlife. The land offers excellent hunting opportunities with abundant whitetail deer, turkeys and even black bears. The property shares a private border with the Cheat Wildlife Management Area and provides nearly 200 acres of additional hunting acreage with exclusive access to the southern portion of the WMA. Nearby national forest land provides even more outdoor opportunities with hunting, hiking and fishing available. Past timbering has created a lush undergrowth of blackberry bushes and thick new forest growth, which is providing a sanctuary for mature bucks. Mature timber on the property’s western end features red and white oak as well as hickory, maple and some wild cherry. Ridgelines, points and a few saddles in the ridgeline will make excellent fall hunting among the oaks. There remains at least one gigantic 100-year-old red oak still growing on the property that serves as a testament to the region’s historic reputation for quality hardwood timber. An established apple orchard and a small spring-fed pond sit within the ridgetop meadow. Already offering forbs, grasses and clover for wildlife, portions of the meadow could easily be converted into productive food plots. There are two older sheds and three older barns on the property, all of which are functional. The mountainous acreage has a very private and secluded feel yet remains close to modern conveniences. The property is less than 30 minutes from Snowshoe Mountain Resort and within minutes of numerous premier trout fisheries, including Mill Creek, the Tygart River headwaters and who could forget the renowned Elk River and Slatyfork. Access to the property is via a paved county road and then onto a private, partially graveled/dirt drive. Mineral rights are included with the sale.
