Property Description
Fall Price Reduction! Escape to your own private sanctuary in Franklin, West Virginia, perfectly timed for the autumn season. Located just three hours from the Washington DC area, this exquisite 4-bedroom, 2-bathroom custom Canadian White Cedar log home sits on 119.45 sprawling acres, offering the ultimate wooded retreat and basecamp for outdoor adventure. A dedicated conservation easement protects 115 acres of the property, creating your own private park with hunting season readiness, and breathtaking panoramic autumn views. When you are not enjoying your own land, you are just minutes away from the small-town charm of historic Franklinfamous for its warm welcomes and the annual Treasure Mountain Festival every September. The property also is a short drive to world-class outdoor recreation at nearby landmarks like Seneca Rocks, Spruce Knob, and the Monongahela National Forest. Step inside the house to discover an open floor plan adorned with stunning wood and Mexican tile flooring, seamlessly connecting the living, dining, and kitchen areas on the main level. At the heart of the living space is a high-efficiency woodstove set against a beautiful local stone hearth, capable of comfortably heating the entire home. There is also a new HVAC system providing forced air heat and central air conditioning. The kitchen features a spacious island and solid wood oak cabinets. The master bedroom is on the main level, and the spacious bathroom has a jetted tub and walk-in shower, providing a spa-like experience at home. Three additional bedrooms and a library loft are upstairs. The full basement includes a two-car garage, ample storage and workspace, and a dumbwaiter to effortlessly transport firewood, or groceries up to the main level. The immediate residential compound is secured by deer fencing and boasts beautifully landscaped grounds with stone steps leading to mature perennial gardens with thousands of bulbs, an organic orchard and fenced vegetable garden. A covered front porch and back deck offer ideal space for outdoor entertainment or quiet reflection amidst nature. Outside, youll also find a charming detached bunkhouse, and a secondary garage/storage building that could easily be modified for another guesthouse. You are free to divide and construct additional residences on the remaining 5 acres of property. Engineered for peace of mind, the property features underground utilities, a near whole- house generator, and an affordable road maintenance fee of just $125.00 annually. High-speed internet is currently available via satellite, with fiber optic internet actively being installed in the valley. Experience the perfect blend of rugged wilderness and refined luxury.
