OVERVIEW
This property sits just above the Little Bluestone River, and has Sunrise Branch running through the middle with beautiful waterfalls and swimming holes to play in during the summertime. A peaceful and quiet area with wooded mountain views and nothing but the sound of the babbling creek to hear while sitting outside.
On this property is the foundation of a home that has burned that was built by the present owner, and also the old "Maddy" homeplace building that is uninhabitable, but may have some good wood for other projects. There were 3 garden spots that were used and organically fertilized from 1972-1989, and had cover crops which were plowed under each spring. There is also a large hayfield, presently overgrown, but was fertilized several times mainly with lime. There are 2 wells on the property; one is 20' deep and the other is 130 deep and is an artesian well with no recovery time needed. Electricity is present on site. The creek runs right behind where the house stood and makes for perfect back porch sitting. There is also a septic in place. Horses have been kept on this property in the past with fencing needing some work. There is a mix of woods and some garden spots and a large hayfield. With some work this property is perfect for a permanent home, second home, hunting camp and/or mini farm. A perfect place to create your own family memories.
This area is not far from the historical Village of Lilly which was established by the Lilly family in Summers County at the juncture of the Little Bluestone and Bluestone rivers and existed from late 1700's to 1946 when it was raised due to the construction of the Bluestone Dam. You are only a few miles from Bluestone River Road which takes you directly to the Bluestone River access and public hiking trails.
