Excellent opportunity, 1860s-era country home with four bedrooms, 1.5 baths, and 2008 sq. ft. Located a short drive from Lewisburg, this is a fantastic location for someone who wants to live in a farming community and, if necessary, to live off-grid. This 5-acre property includes a historic brick home with five wood-burning fireplaces. The private location has access via a private lane. The house has five fireplaces and a spring and would be easily convertible to off-grid living. Much of the work for preppers is done. Included are a barn, outbuildings, and a root cellar. Most of the remaining work is cosmetic. Recent renovations include cherry-insulated pane windows, a metal roof, Generac, cherry-insulated pane windows, a new drilled well, and solid cherry trim galore, and more. The home has four bedrooms and 1.5 bathrooms and includes approximately 2008 sq. ft. of living space, according to public records. The front porch is a great spot to enjoy the country with shade from a tree. SURROUNDING AREA Lewisburg, the commercial center of the Greenbrier Valley and the Greenbrier County seat, was voted the Coolest Small Town in America in 2011, combining the warmth of a close community with the sophistication of more urban locations. The Lewisburg history is well-known. The downtown offers year-round live productions presented at the State Professional Theatre of WV, Carnegie Hall, distinctive dining venues, antique shops, award-winning galleries/boutiques, and two summer-season farmer's markets. There is also a modern hospital and all attendant medical facilities, along with many big box stores. Lewisburg is home to the WV Osteopathic Medical School (600 students) and the New River Community and Technical College. The area is a strong economic generator with a solid workforce employed in county/state government, tourism, hospitality, medical, education, retail, construction, wood products, mining, and agriculture. The world-renowned Greenbrier Resort, a 10,000-acre world-class luxury resort with 800 rooms and 1600 employees, is located nearby in the sleepy little town of White Sulphur Springs. The 4-Star resort has a subterranean casino, is home to the PGA tour, the "Greenbrier Classic," and has restaurants and shops open to the public. It also serves as the summer practice facility for the NFL's New Orleans Saints. The Greenbrier County Airport, with WV's longest runway, is located just 15 minutes away. A picturesque train ride from nearby White Sulphur Springs connects the area to DC, Phili, Chicago, and many other locations. By car, DC is 4 hours away, and Charlotte is only 3. Within an hour's drive are located some of the finest recreational facilities in West Virginia: Winterplace Ski Resort, the 2000-acre Bluestone Lake, Pipestem State Park and Resort, the 80,000-acre New River National Gorge National Park, and whitewater rafting/fishing on the New River and Gauley Rivers. The new 10,600-acre Boy Scout High Adventure Camp, Summit (home to the US and World Jamboree) offers weekend visitors ziplining and canopy tours, ropes courses, climbing and repelling, mountain biking, as well as BMX and skate plazas. Five other area state parks and state forests offer unlimited hiking, horseback riding, ATV riding, and rock climbing opportunities. Snowshoe Ski Resort is a 90-minute drive through some of the most scenic country on the East Coast and provides the opportunity to visit the historic Cass Scenic Railroad State Park. In addition to the Greenbrier Resort golf courses, several other area golf courses are available in the area - including Oakhurst Links, America's first golf course, where guests play using old-style hickory-handled clubs and ground-burrowing golf balls! |
