A very unique opportunity. In today's busy world. Perhaps your dream or desire is to have a waterfront property where you can escape to for vacation use, or better yet, the weekend getaway. We are talking a 2 hour drive from the DC, Northern VA, lower PA locations. Checking all the boxes; No covenants or restrictions. On well & septic. Great location with very easy access. Beautiful views with over 2000 ft. frontage on one of the cleanest rivers in West Virginia, the Cacapon. Recent upgrades including heat & air. Much interior updating including bath & kitchen. Fiber Optics have been installed for Internet service. The 1950 cottage is in great condition, quite cozy and comfortable and tastefully decorated by the current owner. Bald Eagles are sighted often at a nest within views from the main bedroom and rear of the cottage. Waterfront properties remain very desirable and much in demand. You really have to take a look to appreciate what all this property has to offer. I can guarantee that if you come take a look, you'll fall in love. Please note: the Tax record is incorrect on finished square footage. It refers back to when there was a small cabin on the property, , decades ago.
*Taxable value of land and structures on it ("additions") is determined regularly by local assessors and does not affect market price.
