Property Description

Discover a rare slice of Appalachian paradise—5 beautiful acres nestled along the scenic Right Fork of the Buckhannon River in the heart of West Virginia’s mountains, just minutes from the charming village of Helvetia. This unique community is celebrated for its rich heritage and year-round traditions, including the beloved Pickens Maple Syrup Festival each March and the spirited Fasnacht (Foshnot) Festival, where locals gather to burn Old Man Winter and welcome spring. The property offers a perfect blend of comfort, practicality, and rural charm. The home is in fantastic condition, featuring a durable metal roof, energy-efficient double-pane windows, a modern heat pump, and a cozy wood-burning stove for those crisp mountain evenings. A full unfinished basement provides ample space for a workshop, storage, or future expansion—ideal for hobbies or creative pursuits. For added convenience, the home is handicap accessible and includes a spacious deck, perfect for enjoying the peaceful surroundings. Outdoors, the land truly shines. Mature timber stands tall in the wooded areas, while open fields offer room for gardening, recreation, or small-scale farming. Established fruit trees add both beauty and bounty, and a solid, usable barn opens the door to countless possibilities—whether for livestock, equipment, or a classic homestead setup. Located within reach of local amenities—including a health clinic, restaurants, a library, summer music events, and fourth of July festivities—this property offers the best of both worlds: quiet seclusion with a strong sense of community nearby. Whether you’re dreaming of a homestead, a weekend retreat, or a peaceful place to call home, this Buckhannon River property is ready to welcome you. Conventional loan or cash only.
