4.5 acres of river frontage on the Cacapon with a tiny home and one heck of a nice garage that could easily be turned into a "Barndominium." Water, Septic/Sewer, and Electric there. HOA, but only $165/year. It'd make a nice camp for those with more means than I. Probably one to keep an eye on to see if it drops to a more reasonable price as the market continues to settle down in the more rural areas. It's just below the old power dam, so very close to the Potomac and the MD border.

A bit further up river, but still south of the Forks of Capon, is this nice one: https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/422-Cliff-Dr-Great-Cacapon-WV-25422/2057025936_zpid/

Less land, but still has river frontage, no chance of flooding for the house, and it's rather nice inside (turn-key). Would make a nice getaway or retirement if you are a fan of fishing.

335 Meadow Wood Cir, Great Cacapon, WV 25422 is under contract actually not bad at all. 1 hour from Frederick, Md.

422 Cliff Dr, Great Cacapon, WV 25422
Is nice, price is a little high, I’d really investigate flooding risks due to proximity of river but on the other hand a great place to have a retreat and enjoy the natural environment.

Forgot to follow up. This place sold for 132k sight unseen to a young couple from above New York. I think they made a mistake. But maybe they were looking for freedom.

21 acres with power and a well. 40min drive to Ruby. Sounds like a reasonable deal to me.

As for the mineral rights: If there aren't already wells in the area and if nobody is mining the mountain for lime, chances of having any untoward effects from extraction are pretty low. Coal mining is dead and will remain dead.

422 Cliff Dr. is entirely out of the flood zone according to the state's flood risk assessment.
If it came down $40k and I could get someone to go in with me, I'd probably bite.

Nice one on 3ac in Great Cacapon. Perfect retirement home or getaway if you have that kind of money (not super expensive, but not cheap either). https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/20-Candlewood-Ln-Great-Cacapon-WV-25422/22870534_zpid/

In that area you are competing with NoVa weekend home money.

Not a bad little place on 5ac near Romney. Could make a good weekend getaway place with enough TLC.

23067 Northwestern Pike, Romney, WV 26757 | MLS #WVHS2004258 | Zillow

This 2032 square feet Single Family home has 3 bedrooms and 1 bathroom. It is located at 23067 Northwestern Pike, Romney, WV.

www.zillow.com

Noteworthy that it'll likely need some sort of foundation coating to prevent water infiltration in the basement. Nothing that a sump or enough Drylok can't fix. $170 could probably be negotiated down to handle those issues. Look like it needs gutters and a roof as well. All that shag carpet could be yours! Short drive to Short Mountain, Nathaniel Mountain, and Short Mill Ridge WMAs for deer, grouse, and turkey.

Not much of a "getaway" since it's sitting right on Rt. 50.

And it's on the stretch with a passing lane so it's steep enough that trucks go by fairly slowly and noisily. I know because I drive it several times a year taking my daughter to/from WVU Potomac State. No thanks.

 

[slsc98]

Great thread!

Sure am glad it didn’t get started until AFTER we found our present place in WNC, haha!

Honestly, a couple of these listings have had me actually toying w the idea of snagging one cuz, well, WV!

Also the house sits close enough to the road that you can stand on Rt 50, throw a rock, and hit the front door.
