Thought I would post this property

molonlabe · Jun 21, 2017

I'm happy with where I am but if anyone is looking for property in WV this showed up on my FB page. I have no intrest in this. I would look at an aerial shot of it. Getting out in the winter can be a challenge. Myself I'm right off the road.

Looks like a Shotgun Plunger

Maybe in 20 years.

Nice location. Just can't see making the 5 hour drive though.

I just saw it, gotta put one in my bathroom, must be an Appalachian thing.

Definitely blow that crap out.

It's got the evil Confederate flag!!!!!

:omg:

That is fantastic, and 6 years ago I'd have broken out the checkbook. And the area is one we were considering as well!

Half-cocked · Jun 22, 2017

Any cell service out there? I know it's pretty sparse in Elkins, and cell data - well, LOL....

gwchem · Jun 22, 2017

Cell service is sparse because of the dead zone. Elkins is in the heart of it

Drmsparks · Jun 23, 2017

I camp outside of Elkins every year (for about the last 15 years) Never had a problem around Elkins with cell phone service. The area around durbin is dead due to the dead zone but that's way south....

Half-cocked · Jun 23, 2017

Yep, in fact I was just there last week - there's a few other areas around Davis and Canaan where you can get decent cell service too, although cell data seems like just a pipe dream still (at least with Verizon). I've been to Elkins a lot and points south and east, and there are some really nice areas around there, but I've never been through Montrose. The wife and I have talked about getting a cabin somewhere in the region for a few years, though probably in the Canaan or Seneca Rocks area.

Not at all. I get great 4G coverage with AT&T in Elkins then spotty east to Harman.
The dead zone of cell coverage is much closer to the National Radio Astronomy Center. I live near Glady and we have zip for cell coverage.

So... how is WV for retirement ? as far as tax Im sure anything is better than MD. but is it " as good " as say DE?

dfens42 · Jul 7, 2017

Elkins is fine for cell service, ATT has upgraded to LTE and Verizon is actually upgraded all the way from Weston to Norton, Elkins should be the next towers to go 4G.

I get service all the way out thru Canaan and to Davis, I just get a few drops on the far side of some of the hills.

I lose service at Snowshoe and Durbin which are both much closer.

The dark green area is where the tighter regs on transmitters are.

Along with shooting, you can ride ATV's etc! (photos look nice)

Combloc · Jul 10, 2017

Nice land. Not so nice house.

Here's my take. There are taxes but not as high as MD. Groceries are less a lot less. I qualify for homestead I'm over 65 so it will cut my real estate taxes in half. Local shopping is less than MD. Possibly due to the fact this is a poor state with a lot of unemployment, thus a severe drug problem. Crime is still less than MD. You can conceal carry and pretty much protect your own home. The people are fantastic and friendly not unlike the way people treated each other in the 70's. They are God faring people as can be seen by the number of churches. If your not raising a child since the school systems ar so so I would recommended this to any freedom loving person.

Also squeezed between New Jersey and Maryland Delaware is becoming a place that is attracting liberals. They probably think West Virginians are tooth less, uneducated rednecks who worship the confederate flag. Don't let them know differently.

I'll keep posting the real estate. I'd rather we have MDS people here than let's see. The last liberal I met in my church from New Jersey. He was complaining about his survey that said 100 acres more or less. As the conversation went on at our table he spouted no one needs to own an assault rifle. I got up and left. Boy, is he in for a surprise.

Also a lot of people rural use Hughes net. It's satellite internet. Frontier offers so called High spoke internet. (3 Mbps) I guess that's high speed for DSL and they are all over. I use a service in clarksburg that offers 25,100 and 1000 Mbps. I use the 100 but I am located next to a college. There is a push to get HS internet out to the rural areas but that challenge is going to take a while.

Thought I would post this property
