Offers, if any, will be reviewed Monday, 3/11 @ 5pm. Once in a lifetime opportunity to create a dream home on the Shenandoah River. This river front land in Harpers Ferry, WV consists of 2 lots totaling 0.81 acres on the final lot of a gravel road for quiet and privacy among the beautiful giant sycamores. It delivers the perfect spot to put in for tubing, canoeing, kayaking etc. given it is just down river from a small hydroelectric dam. This means you could use the river to get straight to Harpers Ferry Historical National Park. Custom architectural plans have been finalized by DC/WV licensed architecture firm and approved by DC/WV licensed structural engineer. The custom design evokes Scandinavian modern A-frame with the conceptual all black exterior intended to recede into nature like a shadow while creating a warm and inviting interior space. Come build your own beautiful backdrop for your future memories and make it dual purpose by renting it on AirBnB (Jefferson County WV zoning permits short term rentals – see Zoning Ordinance Text Amendment File #ZTA21-01, buyer to verify). The plans create two huge owner's suites on opposite wings of the house along with an office/den making this an excellent configuration for all your needs. The main space is designed to provide soaring ceilings (26') with a wood burning stove and open kitchen / dining area with a screened in porch nearby to enjoy dining al fresco. The front decks are huge and accommodate a separate landing area for a private hot tub. The lower level would serve as a garage / huge storage or recreation room. The gravel road was extended via WVDOT approved plan, the site has been cleared and a brand new (75gal/minute!) Well by Negley's has been installed. The septic permit is also in hand. Everything is squared away such that you could still make any final modifications to the architectural plans before final submission for permit. Whether you're looking to create your dream home on the river or a 2nd home / vacation rental, this property and its design have you covered. There's no HOA and high-speed Xfinity gigabit already serves the adjacent properties. Please note that if you view the property, the red lines in the pictures help provide a rough approximation of the lot lines such that you can remain on the property when viewing. Please note that the field is not part of the property and the property line starts at roughly the edge of the field, thank you!
