ABOUT THE NEW RIVER GORGE NATIONAL PARK & PRESERVE This property is located just outside the New River Gorge National Park & Preserve, a renowned destination for hiking, biking, fishing, rock climbing, and whitewater rafting. Congress established the 70,000-acre park in 2020, and the designation has resulted in a revolutionary interest in the region as a destination for travel and residency. Articles in magazines such as National Geographic have television coverage by major networks. Time magazine recently named the park among the "World's 100 Greatest Places." - -

WILDLIFE Bald eagles, blue herons, and a wide variety of other waterfowl may be among the best-known residents of the river community. Deer are also frequent guests, and even the occasional black bears visit the neighborhood, though they usually sequester themselves deep in the mountain forests. The river's smallmouth bass population draws anglers from across the U.S. to the river near Hinton annually. The New River boasts some of the best bass fishing in the area. - Unique Design Home With Local Logs and Frame Building Parklike Setting Near Three Rivers Avian Center Doorstep Of The New River Gorge National Park Mature Surround Oak Tree In The Front Patio Access Via A County Maintained Road, Very Low Traffic Privacy Spring-Fed Pond Private Well Fallout Bunker Outbuildings Fenced Garden Space Screened Porches Open Decks Detached Two Car Garage With Log Veneer Siding And Separate Electric Meter Detached Metal Carport Interior Woodwork Large Stone Patio Plunge Pool Native Stone Wall In Front Of House Propane Heat Generac Back Up Whole House Generator Detached Guest Room Prepper Survivalist Ready Hardwood Oak Flooring Bidet Additions Toilets Wood Lovers Interior Ample Closet Space Open Kitchen Design Dishwasher Gas Cook Range Ceiling Fans Lots Of Natural Light Wood Heating Stove Large Open Back Deck Window AC Units Dimmable Lighting Wall Mounted Propane Heaters Some Tile Flooring Interior French Doors Office With Beautiful Solid Cherry Flooring Rustic Screened Side Porch -
