Beautiful Woodland Hideaway w/ Additional Parcel Near Utilities

Two parcels in one!! This great deal comes with approximately 74 acres of raw hardwood timber land up on the mountain PLUS another parcel approximately 1.5 acres in size near a quiet residential area close by. The smaller parcel is close to electrical power and has a stream running next to it. It is wooded but accessible. Perfect for your new home! The larger parcel offers incredible potential for hunting and off-roading, camping, agriculture, and more. There are no zoning restrictions, so you'd be totally free to build a cabin and/or grow high value crops. This land is nestled between two ridge lines with a gorgeous babbling brook running through the middle. There are several live fresh water springs within property limits, one of which makes a stunning cascade down the rocks into the ravine below. A 4x4 drive down the network of old fire roads and a short hike will take you to this hidden gem, tucked away in the forest. Lush, fertile soil gives this place a rain forest feel. It boasts a richly diverse plant and animal population, which is allowed to thrive in this undisturbed paradise. Be sure to watch out for bears when you sample the wild blueberries growing along the southern ridge! Did you know that West Virginia is known for its Wild American Ginseng and Appalachian Black Truffles? When you buy this land, you will own the perfect habitat for growing or foraging these incredibly valuable goods. There's one more important feature that makes this land special. I have had experts come in and do a thorough Tax Basis Analysis of the standing timber. Purchasing this parcel comes with a detailed description and valuation, covering tree species, size, available board feet, and up to date monetary values on each type. It also maps where each species is found on the property! Why is this so important? Firstly, knowing about your trees helps you know what animals and other plants will thrive there, for hunting and agriculture purposes. Secondly, and this is huge, having a tax basis appraisal on your timber allows you to avoid taxes on income from timber sales up to the amount of the appraised value after you purchase the land. You cannot avoid taxes on timber sales without having that appraisal done first. This property in "Wild and Wonderful" West Virginia has so much to offer. It is an hour's drive to I-64 and Huntington (the State Capital) and a two hour's drive to the New River Gorge. It's tucked away in the tiny, sweet town of Crum, which sits along side the Ohio river on the Kentucky border, with shopping and amenities just 15 min away. The area is still one of the most inexpensive places to live in the US, and I'm listing this beautiful place at 22-25% below state average raw land prices, making this an incredible deal. This land is For Sale By Owner with Owner Financing Available w/ sufficient down payment. *All information provided is accurate to the best of our knowledge, but potential buyers are responsible for their own due diligence regarding property information.
