236 Haines Dr, Capon Bridge, WV 26711

The home at 236 Haines Drive is on 8 acres of land, comprised of one lot of approximately 3 acres and one lot of approximately 5 acres (Section VIIA Lots 1 and 2 respectively). The home was expanded in 2014 from a log cabin kit purchased from Kunhs Brothers Log Homes in 2004. The home has nearly 3,700 square feet of finished and fully usable living space plus 456 square feet of unfinished storage space on the Lower Level, another 456 square feet within the screened porch, deck, and covered porch, and garage parking for three vehicles (1 car attached / 2 car detached). This three bedroom has been meticulously maintained and is just waiting for the new owner to make it their own. Enjoy the open great room in lower level with In-floor heating. Enjoy dinner on the open rear deck, or on the screened in porch - perfect for those rainy warm days. The home is protected with a backup Generac 17KW propane generator which kicks in automatically during a power outage. There is a whole house surge protector integrated at the main power panel. Satellite internet and television and VOIP telephone over the internet. Frontier has just started installing fiber/DSL to the development which affords another option. Ritter's Hidden Valley Estates (RHV) is a development with 333 properties (lots) that are used for both permanent and part-time (weekend) residents. Each property carries with it one vote in the governance of the community. RHV Maintenance is not a Home Owner's Association with extensive covenants and restrictions. The only restrictions are as stated in the deed which means they are not subject to change by the members or RHV Maintenance Corporation. Each property owner (per lot owned) is a part owner of RHV Maintenance Corporation whose charter is limited to maintaining the common properties, lakes, and roads. RHVM also plows snow in the winter. Living in the RHV development includes access to a well maintained swimming lake, a stocked fishing lake, club house, tennis court, picnic pavilion, and several wooded lots that are accessible for hiking and hunting. Hunting is allowed on both your own property and on common property in accordance with West Virginia hunting regulations. ATVs are allowed throughout the community's nearly 15 miles of gravel roads. There is an abundance of wildlife including deer, black bear (occasionally), wild turkey, fox, and small game. Birding is a favorite past time as well because the woodlands and lakes provide great habitat for migrating birds as well as resident birds such as hawks, owls, ducks, eagles, whippoorwill, song birds, and many other species of birds you just don't see in the city or suburbs. The nearby town of Capon Bridge is a quiet town with a diverse culture which is a cross between the laid back mountain life and a bit more sophisticated life style brought by people who have moved in from the Washington DC suburbs and other areas outside West Virginia. Capon Bridge is home to The Farmers Daughter which is annually rated as one of the top five butcher shops in West Virginia offering custom cut meats and organic products. Capon Bridge is also known for The River House, a charitable organization, was created to promote arts, crafts, and performances and provide an inclusive and friendly meeting place and cultural center. The River House supports regional artisans, poets, and musicians through weekly performances and craft exhibits throughout the year. The River House also features arts free programs every week for the community and a coffee shop with unique food and drink, a few vegan and organic dishes, and a sit and relax atmosphere enhancing the feel of the community. Another recent addition to Capon Bridge is the Cat in the Fiddle, a music teaching studio. Capon Bridge balances small town living with upbeat cultural activities which you would not normally encounter in rural settings.
