Monroe County has a population of about 13,000 residents and does not have a stoplight and has more cattle and sheep than people. There are no fast food restaurants but there are the local restaurants, Corner Caf© and the Kalico Kitchen, in downtown Union that are great place to meet friends and enjoy a great home cooked meal. Historic Lewisburg is located just 45 minutes to the North with all the charm of a small town and all the amenities of a larger city. Designated the "Coolest Small Town in America" in 2011, fine dining, arts and entertainment flourish in the Lewisburg area while "big box" stores like Walmart and Lowes are also available along with the Greenbrier Valley Medical Center and other medical services. Lewisburg is also home to Carnegie Hall, Greenbrier Valley Theatre, the WV School of Osteopathic Medicine, a community college, and is the county seat for Greenbrier County. The Greenbrier Valley Airport with daily flights to Atlanta and Washington, DC is located just outside of Lewisburg and just 35 minutes from the property. The world famous Greenbrier Resort is 45 minute drive and Snowshoe Ski Resort is within a 2 hour drive as well. Within an hour to two hour drive are located some of the finest recreational facilities in West Virginia. Snowshoe Ski Resort, whitewater rafting / fishing on the Greenbrier, New River and Gauley River, 2000 acre Bluestone Lake, 919,000 acre Monongahela National Forest and the 80,000 acre New River National Gorge National Park.

This 133+/- acre agricultural- timberland-recreational opportunity is located in the scenic, mountainous region of southeastern West Virginia. The surrounding Monroe County landscape is part of the southeastern Ridge and Valley Region, a scenic tapestry of elongated hardwood Allegheny & Appalachian mountain ranges. Much of Monror County remains undeveloped and is characterized by its scenic farm valleys, small communities and large expanses of hardwood forest. Smith Homeplace represents an opportunity to create a classic family ownership legacy for the next tenure, or to carefully craft a rural residential project for future cabin sites. Terrain is typical of the region and considered rolling to mountainous, with upland hardwood flats and ridges separated by narrow hollows that flank the lower lying stream drainage of Back Creek.

ACCESS
Year round access to the property is excellent. The property fronts the hard-top state maintained WV RT 23/7 (Back Creek Road) for 1600' on the southern portion of the property. Internal access is considered excellent with over one mile of forest trails that access nice stands of timber. These trails provide access to nearly all corners for recreational opportunities including nature viewing, hunting, hiking, horseback riding and ATV riding. AGRICULTURAL RESOURCES
A visit to Smith Homeplace is stepping back in time some 100 years. This early farmstead is an excellent example of the how the early settlers lived and is a testament to hard work, perseverance and ingenuity. Manpower and horsepower were the tools of the trade in the late 1800's. There are some 50 acres of old fields no regenerated to timber, the result of countless hours of backbreaking work. The work is preserved in stone piles found around the property. The 10 acres of bottom land is mostly open but in need of brushogging. FOREST/TIMBER RESOURCES
The distinguishing features of Smith Homeplace is the rich mix of hardwood sawtimber, pole timber, cedar thickets and regenerated farm fields. This stocking level of trees is well above average for the region. This well managed timber resource can provide a great deal of flexibility to the next ownership in terms of potential harvest revenue and can be managed to provide cash flow opportunities to offset holding cost and long-term asset appreciation. Several "Heritage Trees" are scattered throughout the forest and field edges. These ancient trees, some 200-300 years old, have withstood the test of time, weathering ice, wind, lightning strikes and fire. The forest is healthy and there are no signs of pest infestations of Gypsy Moth or Emerald Ash Borer. The Hemlock Wooly Adelgid is present and the majority of the Hemlock trees are severely stressed and will die out over the next decade. There have been no forest fires in the recent memory. The forest floor is home to several types of mushrooms, medicinal plants, wild ginseng, ferns and cool green mosses. One could spend a lifetime getting to know this inviting environ. WILDLIFE
Smith Homeplace is renowned locally as a premier wildlife sanctuary in Monroe County. The mixture of cedar thickets, mature forest and abandoned farm fields, coupled with a steady water supply from creeks and springs, create the perfect wildlife habitat.
