Welcome to The Smith Log Home, Forest, Retreat and Farm, Monroe County, WV! Located in the quiet Allegheny Mountains of Monroe County, West Virginia, lies a jewel of 114 acres of private country property. The Smith Log Home, Forest, Retreat and Farm is situated only five minutes outside of the quaint, peaceful town of Alderson and 20 minutes from the shops, restaurants, and amenities of Lewisburg/Fairlea. Make this homestead your full-time residence or ultimate weekend retreat - either way, bring the family and pets to enjoy. This property has a direct, state-maintained paved road access then gated, exclusive access via gravel drive to the Retreat and Farm and log home. The custom-built Appalachian Log Home was constructed on a rolling knoll for the Smiths in 2005 and includes approximately 1054 square feet of living space. The spacious, covered front porch is a special place to gather, enjoy visiting deer and hummingbirds, and savor a grand display of landscape and wildlife. The two-bedroom, one-bath log home has a light, bright interior with hard rock maple floors, exposed vaulted pine beams, and an easy-step oak staircase to the spacious loft bedroom. Like a privately owned state park/forest, this property includes a mature forest of poplar, oak, wild cherry, maple, and beech trees that have not had a timber harvest for an estimated 50-plus years. Miles of trails throughout the property, an abundant water supply with a stocked, spring-fed pond, and a spring-fed livestock trough provide water year-round. The property includes a workshop outbuilding and a secure Conex shed with a tractor lean-to. The property is a mecca for wildlife with whitetail deer, black bear, wild turkey, squirrels, rabbits, raccoons, and all types of migratory and native birds, including rarely seen Scarlet Tanagers. The property includes approximately five acres of open farmland that could be used for horses, cattle, goats, and a wide array of country farming. Shopping, medical offices, building supplies, a pharmacy, specialty shops, an Amtrak depot, FPC aka Camp Cupcake, great restaurants, a bank, and fuel are a short drive to The Gem Of The Hills, Alderson, WV.
