We get numerous calls when these large acreage parcels become available. Whether for a family retreat/ weekend recreational property with future building in mind, this could be the place to park your money in these uncertain financial times that we find ourselves in. It is all about the land and the land is so unique. There are no restrictions or covenants on the land, only what the County may dictate. There are many trails throughout the property for ATV’s, hunting, recreation. The land borders Capon Springs Resort on the back side. Adjoining neighbors also own large acreage parcels, giving you some privacy and quietness. The property does front on a state maintained road with pretty much local traffic. No question, the value is in the land. But this property does come with an 800 sq. ft. ranch style home on a full basement. The home is average in condition, but would certainly make a nice base camp until you get that new home built, very possibly over in the hayfield that is already cleared and offering a nice mountain view. This home is also quite suitable as a rental. You will see in the attached photos that an oversized block workshop/garage is also included as well as a root cellar with small cabin structure above. There is a nice spring on the property within a stone’s throw from the house. This region is well known for its mineral springs. Capon Springs Resort is in very closer proximity (read about that online, with its Natural Springs) as is the National Forest and the Tuscarora Trail. Winchester, VA is 30 minutes away. Wardensville, WV is 15 minutes away. I81/I66 about 30 minutes driving distance.
