Set atop a gently rolling hill and encompassing 85 acres of unspoiled West Virginia countryside, this remarkable white oak log estate presents an extraordinary opportunity to own a secluded sanctuary with sweeping valley views. Enveloped by rolling landscape and thriving wildlife, the property is a masterful blend of wooded serenity and open pasture, complemented by a tranquil pond and koi pond—an idyllic setting for refined recreation, homesteading, or restorative retreat. The residence itself is a showcase of timeless craftsmanship and elevated rustic elegance. Rich hardwood flooring, exposed timber beams, and a striking stone fireplace anchor the light-filled interior, while a thoughtfully designed floor plan offers both comfort and flow. The great room opens seamlessly to a screened porch, creating an effortless indoor-outdoor living experience. A distinctive wood conveyor system—linking basement to main level—enhances the fireplace’s functionality while preserving the home’s pristine atmosphere. The main level features a well-appointed bedroom with a walk-in closet, along with a highly functional mudroom complete with utility tub, pantry, and laundry area. Upstairs, a loft-style primary suite serves as a private haven, offering generous proportions, a spacious walk-in closet, and a luxurious en-suite bath with double vanity and jetted soaking tub. The finished lower level expands the living space with versatility in mind, featuring plush carpeting and a full bath—ideal for guests, recreation, or extended stays. Originally designed to add a private master suite, the space offers great potential, though the project was never fully completed by the owner. With its flexible layout, the property also has the potential to be converted into a 3-bedroom home. Significant recent upgrades include a high-wind shingle roof with transferable warranty and premium Andersen windows and doors, all installed approximately four years ago. Modern conveniences such as an outdoor furnace, wired surround sound, and Frontier DSL internet ensure comfort without compromising the home’s peaceful seclusion. Enhancing the estate is a substantial detached three-bay garage, thoughtfully positioned to complement the home’s elevated setting. Above, a private apartment has been tastefully updated with new vinyl flooring, stove, vanity, tub/shower, and skylight—offering exceptional flexibility for guest accommodations, rental income, or multigenerational living. Additional improvements include a heated workshop area (wood stove), generous storage and hobby space, a separate two-bay garage, and a carport with kayak rack, ensuring the property is as functional as it is beautiful. This is more than a home—it is a private estate where natural beauty and refined country living converge. **Out of respect for the owners’ privacy, please refrain from drive-bys; the property is available for viewing by appointment only.
