About this House

Welcome to the "Peaks of Greenbrier"! Opportunities abound at this mountain retreat. You access this gated property immediately from the county paved road, and after closing the gate behind you, the peace and quiet that the forest provides are captivating. The spacious road system allows easy mountain travel from one end of the property to the other (4.8 miles). This surveyed property is also being offered in 6 separate tract options. In addition to the expansive road system, ATV and hiking trails offshoot from the main road throughout the entire property. A 2019 Timber Cruise and Evaluation revealed close to $1,000,000.00 worth of timber value spread proportionately over the 958.8 acres, which helps ensure your financial interests. This location also provides unique access to several iconic resorts. The Homestead and The Greenbrier are both within a 50-minute drive and Snowshoe Mountain Resort can be reached in 1.5 hours. Also, Lake Moomaw, Jackson River and Douthat State Park are close. It would be difficult to find such effortless access to ultimate seclusion. In addition, the property is bordered on 3 sides by over 2 million acres of the George Washington National Forest, which adds welcomed acreage to your adventurous side and is a forever assurance of nothing being built anywhere close by. Wait.... what about the views?? These mountains allow you to reach up to 3500 feet in elevation so that the surrounding uninhabited beauty can be easily taken in along with a fresh sunrise or mountain sunset. You will find several mountain streams throughout the property and wildlife everywhere. So, whether it's starting your family legacy, building your dream home or getaway cabin, camping, hunting, or whatever else you can imagine doing in mountain serenity, it's ALL here waiting for you!

"Unless your physically fit, mowing the lawn is nearly impossible. Not only is it on a cliff, the front yard is concave! One of the side yards floods every time it rains. Both trees in the front yard are dead and ready to fall onto the house down below. The driveway is pitched at a 45 degree downward slope. The carport also floods. The nearest city is fifteen minutes away. It has minimal shopping, nightlife and dining. There are only three parks; all extremely small and lacking. The main street in downtown consists mostly empty store fronts. Worse, just a few blocks away is the largest paper mill in the United States of America. Talk about stink! "
