A lot of properties promise an escape. This one is already built for it. Set on 20.28 wooded acres in Lookout Highlands, this custom log home is a true turnkey mountain retreat. Privacy, dramatic western views toward historic Mechanicsburg Gap, hunting, warm wood interiors, outdoor living space, and a finished lower level all come together in one very usable West Virginia property. Built in 2006, the home offers 4 bedrooms, 3 full bathrooms, and a finished basement, giving you plenty of room for family, guests, weekend use, full-time living, or a private getaway from the noise. Inside, the home has the feel people want in a real log home: vaulted pine ceilings, exposed beams, warm wood walls, wide plank floors, large windows, and a beautiful stone fireplace anchoring the main living area. The main level is open, comfortable, and built for gathering. The kitchen, dining area, and living room flow together naturally, with easy access to the deck and outdoor spaces. Whether you are sitting by the fire, sharing a meal, watching the woods through the windows, or stepping outside to take in the mountain air, the home feels connected to the land around it. The outdoor space is a major part of the appeal. The wraparound deck, covered porch, and screened porch give you multiple places to enjoy the property in every season. Morning coffee, summer dinners, rainy afternoons, fall evenings, and quiet weekends all work here. The finished basement adds serious usefulness. With a large recreation area, small kitchenette, room for games, guests, hobbies, and extra gathering space, it gives the home the flexibility that makes it work for more than just an occasional weekend. It is the kind of lower level that can handle kids, company, football games, card games, rainy days, and long stays without everyone being stacked on top of each other. The land is exactly what a mountain property should have. With 20.28 acres, you have room to hunt, hike, explore, and enjoy your own ground. The wooded setting provides privacy, wildlife habitat, and strong recreational appeal, making it a great fit for hunters, outdoor enthusiasts, or anyone looking for a private basecamp in the mountains. Lookout Highlands gives you the privacy and mountain setting people come to West Virginia for, while still keeping you close to Romney for everyday conveniences. Even better, the property is within an easy two-hour drive of the Washington, D. C. metro area, making it close enough to use often, not just talk about visiting someday. This is not a generic cabin in the woods. It is a turnkey custom log home on 20.28 acres with space, character, views, hunting, outdoor living, finished recreation space, and year-round usefulness. Bring your family, bring your friends, bring your gear, and start enjoying it from day one.
