Just 5 minutes South of Union, WV this property has all of the must have amenities for a luxury country home. The property sits in a beautiful location amongst the big farms and rolling hills of Monroe County with good neighbors and pastoral scenery. With over 40 acres and a year round stream, this property has plenty of room to play, grow your own food, raise livestock, and enjoy the privacy you are seeking. This large and modern timber frame home features a Great room with a 24 foot high ceiling and fireplace, a chef's kitchen with granite counter tops & a large island, and 360 degree wrap around covered porches. The interior of the home is finished in natural wood and is warm and bright thanks to the generous amount of windows and glass doors that open directly onto the porches. The master suite is large, comfortable, and features a big bathroom with a walk in shower and a soaking tub. The second floor has a lofted landing which holds an open air office and leads to opposite guest bedrooms in their own wings. The basement is partially finished which makes a great space for a workshop and dry storage with easy walkout ground level exterior doors. A whole house Generac generator ensures that you will have power even if the grid goes down. This home feels like a mountain chalet with its peaked roof, timber beams, and its Great room filled with a fireplace insert surrounded by a stone hearth and windows that climb to the ceiling. The home sits at the top of a knoll surrounded by fenced pastures and woodlots. The possibilities for living the country life are expansive and only limited by your imagination. Existing coops for chickens & geese will make it easy to start your flock and have your very own farm fresh eggs. A custom built barn for sheep and goats just off the back porch will help you keep your livestock comfortable and safe. There are also acres of fenced pastures that have produced cattle and would be excellent for horses. Other perks of the property include mature walnut and fruit trees that provide nuts, syrup, and fruit. A year-round stream, with the headwaters just upstream, provides limestone filtered water and some bedrock plunge pools for a dip on a hot summers day. There is even a cave with a mouth large enough to allow for exploration. Several large woodlots provide forest habitat and firewood to feed the woodstove in the Great room. It is a common sight to catch deer and turkeys grazing in the front yard as well as occasional glimpses of other forest creatures like Black Bear and Pileated woodpeckers. The nearby historic town of Union has restaurants, a public pool, shopping, services, a summer Farmers Day, an annual Autumn festival, and a Christmas parade. Union is also close to Moncove Lake State State Park which offers a variety of outdoor recreation. Close by, Lewisburg, voted the Coolest Small Town in America, offers an almost endless variety of events including the Lewisburg Chocolate Festival, Taste of our Town, the WV State Fair, and the Lewisburg Literary Festival to name just a few. Lewisburg is also the home to several fine dining restaurants, fun local eateries, a variety of shopping in the walking downtown, and easy access to outdoor retreats such as the Greenbrier River Trail.
