Legal Location: Unincorporated Area of Hardy<br />COUNTRY LIVING AT ITS BEST<br />* This house is a brick faced 1760 sq foot Rancher on 1.56 acres. It has an attached two car garage, three bedrooms, two full baths, (whirlpool tub w/shower in master bath), large country kitchen with refrigerator, gas stove and dishwasher, separate dining room, spacious living room, laundry room with Fisher &amp; Paykal washer and dryer, hardwood floors throughout main areas, vinyl floors in laundry and baths, front and back porches with a concrete back patio.<br />It is situated on a paved road on the top of Branch Mountain (2,000+ ft. elevation), a high meadow in &amp;quot;Bean Settlement&amp;quot;.<br />* Easy access, 2 miles to US 55, a large very lightly traveled, new four lane highway over the mountains. The new highway at this time only goes West from Wardensville, WV, to Moorefield, WV, where US 55 turns south to Seneca Rocks. There it meets with US 33 from Harrisonburg VA, and goes West over the continental divide toward Elkins, WV. Thee are new 4 lane highways on to Clarksburg WV. Going east from Wardensville, US 55 is a two lane road over the mountain to I 81 at Strasburg VA, about 20 miles. Two exits north of Strasburg is I 66 which goes into DC. The total time to the DC beltway is about 2 hours. However, one does not go over the mountain to get to Harrisonburg VA nor Winchester VA, about an hour each way.<br /><br />ORGANIC LIVING PARADISE<br />* Organic gardening - raised beds w/irrigation, with produce growing. Electric fence to keep deer out<br />* Grass and acorn fed deer are very common in the back yard. Turkeys also visit our yard.<br />* Organic fruit - two apple and one Crabapple tree (deer love apples), two pear, two peach, one cherry. New trees, just starting to produce, so they are still fenced.<br /><br />GREEN LIVING PARADISE<br />* Wood heat - (Woodstock Soapstone &amp;quot;Fireview&amp;quot; stove.) Two years worth of seasoned hard wood, mostly locust. A cold winter requires about 2 cords of wood.<br />* Tankless electric water heater<br />* LP Gas cook stove<br />* Heat Pump w/AC. AC and heat have been used very seldom in the three years we have lived in this new house. Temperature is normally 5-10 degrees cooler than down the mountain in Moorefield. This house is at about 2300 feet elevation, which makes for a nice breeze most of the time.<br />* Surrounded by rolling meadow land used for pasture. BEAUTIFUL view from this mountain top ridge. Only one occupied house, a hunting lodge, can be seen from this house.<br /><br />IN ADDITION<br />* Nine 3-4 foot tall, newly planted, arborvitae trees for windbreak. 25 smaller Douglas Fir trees planted behind them.<br />* New 8x10 garden shed<br />* New 30x14 stick built outbuilding.
