SURROUNDING AREA
Roaring River is centrally located in one of the most popular outdoor recreation destinations in the U.S. More than three million visitors tour the region annually, climbing rocks, paddling streams, hiking, biking, and running on miles of scenic trails. Interestingly, the Boy Scouts of America established its National Jamboree site here because of its unparalleled access to world-class outdoor recreation. In the winter, the area attracts another clientele - skiers bound for the slopes at Winterplace, a drive of 40 minutes to the south, and Snowshoe Mountain, a two-and-a-half-hour drive to the northeast.
Additionally, the Roaring River location benefits from its proximity to Adventures on the Gorge, one of the most popular outdoor adventure resorts in the U.S. As a pioneer in the whitewater rafting industry, the resort has played a crucial role in driving high-end economic development in the region, making it a hotspot for adventure seekers.
Roaring River also enjoys more than its share of singular shops, pubs, and restaurants, many of which cluster around Fayetteville, a five-minute drive from the property. For even more exceptional eateries and retail destinations, you can explore in just an hours drive the west of the state capitol at Charleston, and an hour the east historical Lewisburg, which, according to the National Geographic Magazine, is ranked one of the most livable small towns in the U.S.
The region is perhaps best known as one of the most popular rock-climbing destinations in the world. Thousands of climbers annually scale the more than 60 miles cliff on the gorges of the New, Gauley, and Meadow rivers. Outside Magazine rated the New River Gorge the third most popular climbing area in the U.S. in 2019. It includes some of the most attractive sports climbs in the Western Hemisphere. Notably, the American Alpine Club maintains an ecologically integrated campground for climbers less than a mile from the frontage.
In recent years, the region has also witnessed a rise in the number of hikers, paddlers, and bicyclists attracted to its limitless recreative landscape. USA Today, in 2015, named the Endless Wall Trail - a drive of only 20 minutes from the property - the best hiking trail in the U.S. national park system. Whitewater rafting has long been a mainstay of tourism on the New and Gauley Rivers, though kayaking has grown tremendously throughout West Virginia, outpacing the growth of the pastime nationally.
The region is also renowned as a paradise for golfers, boasting more than a score of courses within just an hours drive. This includes three at the famous Greenbrier, which sometimes hosted both the PGA and LIV tour and three at nearby Glade Springs Resort. Also, the Oakhurst Links, the first course in the U.S., is just over an hours drive.
Accessing the area is easy. The US-19 expressway travels through the heart of the region, and Interstates 77 and 64 area are only a half-hour drive by expressway to the south at Beckley. Interstate 79 is a 45-minute drive by expressway to the north. The state capital, Charleston, is an hours drive west and accessible by several routes.
For train travel, the Amtrak passenger stations on the Chicago-New York route are located half an hour to the south near Beckley and an hours drive east and west at Charleston and White Sulphur Springs.
Public airports that offer jet service are located 40 minutes to the south at Beckley and an hour west and east at Charleston and Lewisburg.

FOREST/TIMBER RESOURCES
The abundant timber resource, consisting of about 785 acres, is well positioned for current timber income and value appreciation over the coming decades. With an attractive mix of species, adequate stocking levels, and favorable diameter class distribution, the timber amenity represents a strong value component for investors.
Roaring River's Forest resource is rich in quality Appalachian hardwoods and native Eastern Hemlock. This timber resource has the potential to provide flexibility for future owners in terms of opportunities for harvest revenue that could be managed to provide cash flow opportunities to offset holding costs and contribute to long-term asset appreciation. Although Capital Timber Value for the timber and pulpwood has not been determined at this time, the potential is glaring.
The forests predominately well-drained upland terrain has led to a resource dominated by hardwood species. Overall, the species composition is highly desirable, favoring Appalachian hardwood types like Black Walnut, Sugar Maple, Poplar/Basswood, Red Oak Group, White Oak/Chestnut Oak, Soft Maple, Hickory, Beech, and a host of associated species (ash, hemlock, birch, sourwood, black gum, beech).
The forest at Roaring Rivers is fully stocked, providing the next ownership with a great deal of flexibility in shaping their own silvicultural legacy. Across the property, stem quality can be considered excellent, and the timber component has been well managed over the years, consisting of stands of varying age classes. Most timber stand ranges from 30 to 140 years old stems, with diameters between 10 and 40 inches at breast height (dbh).

Mount Hope
Located along a natural passage through the Appalachian Mountains, Mount Hope has continuously been associated with travel. Its first settler operated a thriving tavern along what had been an important Native American trail, and in the late 1900s, the town flourished as a result of its accessibility in a mining region. That accessibility attracted the attention of the federal government, which established its U.S. Bureau of Mines regional headquarters there. Its accessibility grew manyfold in the 1980s after the completion of the US-19 expressway, which now links the community to interstate traffic. Tourism potential increased then with the arrival of the National Park Service, which in 2020 established the New River Gorge National Park and Preserve.

ABOUT THE BUILDING
The U.S. Bureau of Mines was established by Congress in 1910 in response to a wave of catastrophic mining disasters. Mount Hope was deemed the ideal location for a regional headquarters for the bureau, and in 1958 the cornerstone on the present structure was set. In 1966 a third floor was added, and as many as 100 persons might have worked in the structure, both employees of the bureau and of the U.S. General Services Administration, which managed the building. The building included more than 65 offices and meeting rooms and laboratories. Mens and womens common restrooms on each floor are accessible, and the hydraulic elevator is operational. Surface parking is located directly off Stadium Drive, and additional surface parking is available on city property nearby.
The bureau was phased out in the late 1990s, and its functions were transferred to other agencies, such as the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health. In 2020, the building was sold to its present owner. It has been determined to be eligible for inclusion on the National Register of Historic Places and adjoins the Mount Hope Historic District. However, it is not listed on the register nor in the district. Pursuing inclusion could provide the owners state and federal funding for maintenance and repair.

HISTORY OF THE BUILDING
Noted for its Art Moderne design, the brick-and-stone New River Company Store at Scarbro was built in 1928 as a mercantile for the New River Company, a mining concern that employed thousands in the early and mid-1900s. The store was one of eight that the company maintained to serve the needs of employees and their families.
The present store building was the second built by the company on the site and was erected following a fire that destroyed an earlier wooden structure. Built by R.H. Hammill & Co., of Huntington, the new building was "fire-proof" and built of brick, block, and steel on the earlier stone foundation. Its design featured many large casement windows that lit the interior and its merchandise. A post office operated in a flanking wing of the building.
The building's large central room was designed to impress customers while making optimal use of merchandising space. Its two stories, which are 61 feet wide and 70 feet deep, are encircled at the second story by a broad mezzanine. The floor plan allowed shoppers to wander among display cases and view much or the merchandise in the store from the center of the room.
Ironically, the new building opened while mining at Scarbro was nearing its end. Miners were instead working at mines nearby at Whipple, Oakwood, Lochgelly, and Summerlee, while Scarbro was being transformed into a residential community. The building today is practically all that remains to indicate a town with multiple commercial and industrial buildings stood near the site.
In 1971, the building was purchased by its present owner for use as a workshop for National Drapery Workroom, manufacturer of custom draperies. The workroom has since managed the production of innovative window treatments in the building, utilizing its high ceiling and mezzanine to facilitate the production process. The company's work is nationally extolled. Among its most famous commissions, it was engaged by the White House to produce exquisite velvet draperies for the Blue Room.
NATIONAL REGISTER STATUS
Though the property is not now protected, state officials have expressed that the building may be eligible for inclusion of the National Register of Historic Places, providing funding for its repair and maintenance. Grants and tax credits of more than 45 percent would be provided to owners to cover the costs of repair thereafter. Register status may also be used to secure funding from other economic development sources.
BUILDING SPECIFICATIONS
The building consists chiefly of a two-story structure of brick and block seated on a stone foundation. It is flanked to the north by a one-story wing in which a post office and freight entrance were located. To either side of the main entrance, the first-floor front of the building is flanked by expanses of glass display windows, now boarded over. Its second floor is otherwise encircled by a series of large casement windows six across the front, five along the south flank, and four at the rear. Most are seven feet wide and five feet tall.
The building's dominant feature is a two-story interior space encircled by a broad mezzanine. Its dimensions nearly reach the full dimensions of the central building, with an interior space 17 feet tall, 61 feet wide and 70 feet deep. A suspended mezzanine encircles the large interior space.

OVERVIEW
Few private properties remain for sale so near the center of the newly established New River Gorge National Park & Preserve. Though located near the very heart of the park, the property is fewer than 15 minutes from suburban Beckley, the largest city in southern West Virginia.
The steep, wooded tract accommodates two potential homesites. At the front, a quarter-acre of less-sloping land includes a former historic home site - a relic of the communitys ghost-town period - and includes a well, septic system, fieldstone walls, and a stone chimney. A second potential homesite at the upper property overlooks a five-mile panorama of the gorge from more than 200 feet above the river. Both sites afford unmatched views of the mountains.
The property is located in one of the most popular outdoor recreation areas in the park, in which the park service is developing new recreational resources. The park manages five public campgrounds within five miles of Prince and is adding a sixth campground only two miles away. Backcountry camping is also permitted in the park over much of the area, notably along the river. Park officials have announced plans to open new recreational trails leading along the river and ascending into the local highlands.
The tract is within 1,000 feet of the Art Modern-styled Prince Depot, an active Amtrak station on the New York-Chicago line. Thousands of locals and visitors use the station annually, notably scouts who are visiting the Bechtel National Scout Preserve, home of the Summit, the National Jamboree site for the Boy Scouts of America, a drive of fewer than 10 miles from the property.
Though upstream, the New River is renowned for its whitewater rafting. The New River at Prince is relatively calm and a destination for warm water fishing and flatwater recreational pursuits such as kayaking, canoeing, and paddle-boarding. Trout streams cascade out of the highlands in every direction. Hunting is a popular pursuit in sections of the New River Gorge National Park and Preserve.

Fayette County - 531 Main Street, Mount Hope, WV
PRICE SLASHED to $400K - 3 Commericial store fronts, 4 residential dweels and 5 upstairs apartments. Bon Bon Confectionery and Hardware is one of the oldest business locations in historic Mt. Hope, West Virginia. Mt. Hope also came to be known as Phoenix City from its recovering and rebuilding from the great fire of 1910. This landmark business has been a staple for the local community, plus includes a number of famous visitors including John F. Kennedy, Governor Okey Patteson, and, most recently, Mike Wolfe and the American Pickers television program.
Bon Bon opened in the roaring 1920s shortly after America had won the Great War. The Bonifacio Familys soda fountain and candy shop was the local gathering place for residents for many years. The Bon Bon building is actually two adjoined storefronts that were completed around 1912, soon after the great fire of 1910 that destroyed nearly all of Mt. Hope. A local coal mining company used the location for headquarters until about 1920. Sam and Mary Bonifacio brought the property and the rest in an incredible history of serving Mt. Hope and the outlying communities. The Bonifacio Family founded Bon Bons Confectionery and Hardware in 1920, back in the day when small town shopping was in its heyday. The business operated dually as a soda fountain and as a shoe cobbler shop. Mr. Bonifacio soon afterwards transitioned from working as a cobbler, choosing to run a confectionary and a hardware store. The era of the hardware stored ended in 1968. Mr. Bonifacios children found running both businesses to be too much for just the three of them. The hardware store was repurposed to become a storage area. The confectionery continued to be a hang-out spot for local teenagers until the public schools consolidated. This landmark Mt. Hope business continued until recently when Phyllis Bonifacio stepped back and closed the doors. Brothers Dean and Doug Bonifacio still own the property and are active in decorating the front store windows.

Fayette County - Gauley Bridge, WV
Overlooking one of the best-known scenic landscapes in West Virginia, historic Conley Hill rises above the mouth of the New River just downstream of the newly-established New River Gorge National Park & Preserve. Above the point at which the New and Gauley rivers join to form the Kanawha River, a shimmering lake collects here before plunging over a river-wide falls.
Ascending from the floor of the valley along US-60, the hill is as scenic at a distance as it is near-at-hand. It includes densely forested areas of steep and level land suited for unique home, cabin, and camp sites with views of the lake and the entrance to the gorge. A gravel road ascends onto a first tier of potential building sites then climbs steeply to the crest of the mountain. It doubles as an access to a cellular communications tower and the towns water tanks. A water line along the lower property provides convenient public water access.
Conley Hill is located near the center of a world-renowned destination for outdoor recreation, famed for its hiking, fishing, kayaking, rock climbing, and whitewater rafting. The cliffs that line the rim of gorge are part of one of the largest climbing destinations in the U.S., while whitewater rafting has been a chief adventure pursuit on the New and Gauley rivers for more than half a century, attracting hundreds of thousands of rafters annually. All have enjoyed an increase in popularity since the new national park was established.
