Both bedrooms feature closets and direct access to a large screened-in porch, creating a seamless connection between indoor living and the wooded landscape.

The large updated kitchen offers generous space for cooking and gathering, while the oversized updated bath includes a deep soaking tub and laundry for convenience. Outside, a backyard shed, fire pit with smokeless insert, and natural log benches complete this peaceful woodland retreat. Surrounded by dense hardwoods, a moss-covered forest floor, and native rhododendron and mountain laurel, the property combines rare privacy with a gentle flat landscape. Located just minutes from Lost River State Park, local restaurants, markets, and boutiques, and equipped with fiber-optic internet, this home is offered fully furnished for a turnkey experience. 446 Black Ridge Road is a rare opportunity to own a handcrafted, one-level mountain hideaway — a place to relax, reconnect, and enjoy life in Wild & Wonderful West Virginia.
