Description

OVERVIEW Tip Top mountain Vista on Meadow River – A diverse and private 153 +/- acres farm and homestead with incredible views, rolling open pasture land, timber & forest habitat, and the protective ridge and shoulders of a sheltering mountain. Setback away from the world but only minutes from Summersville, West Virginia, this unique farm and homestead provides its owner with all of the desired aspects of country living. Nestled on top of the beautiful mountain this farm splits into a protective valley that surrounds the homestead, a rolling set of pastures that provide forage for livestock, and ridgeline that climbs to summit the highest points of the property. The pastures are large, some fenced, and have barns and structures for farm equipment. The property has a massive water filtration system that provides water to the home, and the excess water supply runs into the stream below the house and a pond which together provide year-round water for livestock. The farm and homestead have a nicely hardened and maintained driveway with direct and easy access to Route 41. There is also a beautiful open grassed corridor that starts at the bottom of the property and climbs all the way to the top of the mountain gaining several feet of elevation while providing easy access to walk, bike, and even drive to the top of the peak. With over 153 acres this farm has an enormous amount of property to explore, adventure, and hunt over. A mix of grassland and forestland provide habitat for all of the major game species. If you are a fisherman, Meadow River, just across the road from the property entrance, holds bass and other game fish species. The timber resources of the property are also marketable with easy access to most of the timber via the farm roads and pastures. There are multiple excellent home building sites if the existing homestead doesn’t suit your needs and a couple of locations provide amazing views of the surrounding area. This property has good agricultural soils, open pastures, timber land, and excellent varied hunting habitats. It is a property that has been well cared for and all of its premium features make it a highly desirable farm/homestead as well as a location for a prime rural retreat. The property has had surface mining conducted but has been reclaimed to a beautiful property.
