SLATE ROCK CROSSING LOT 17 (2.77 acres). An excellent opportunity to build in one of Hardy County's most desirable small mountain communities. This property offers a combination that is getting harder to find: A large flat building area, privacy, fiber optic internet availability, year-round access and a location close to town without giving up the feeling of being tucked into nature. . Lot 17 includes approximately 2.77 wooded acres with a naturally level homesite set back from the road. The site faces south, an ideal orientation for passive light, future solar considerations or simply enjoying the warmth and long daylight. Access from Slate Rock Pass Road is straightforward and the approach to the build site is gentle, no challenging driveway work required. The property already has an approved septic percolation test and both electric service and fiber optic broadband are available at the road. A private well will likely be needed, with typical well depths in the subdivision ranging from 200 to 300 feet. The surrounding properties include newly built homes and well-maintained neighboring parcels, contributing to a quiet, low-traffic environment. Slate Rock Crossing is a covenant-protected community designed to maintain the natural setting and ensure quality construction standards. HOA dues are only $300 per year, covering road maintenance. The covenants are straightforward, modular and double-wide homes on a permanent foundation are allowed, along with traditional stick-built homes. Short-term rental use is also permitted under the covenants. The private roads are maintained by the HOA, which helps ensure reliable access throughout the year. The location is another strong advantage. Travel time from the Washington, DC region is typically around 95 miles, making the property realistic for weekend use as well as permanent living. Lot 17 is only 2.5 miles from Wardensville, a growing small town known for its local restaurants, farmers markets, shops, bakery, art spaces and the popular Lost River Trading Post. Outdoor recreation is abundant in every direction: Trout-stocked streams, George Washington National Forest trails, Warden Lake, Kimsey Run Lake, Trout Pond, and multiple wilderness areas. Whether you are looking for a weekend retreat, a future retirement build or a full-time residence away from high-density areas, this property offers a quiet setting within convenient reach of services and amenities. The setting, the location, and the available services make this land a compelling option for anyone seeking space, quiet and long-term value in the mountains of West Virginia.
