163 Slate Run Rd , Greenville, WV 24945(Monroe County)

Setback away from the world but only minutes from Greenville, West Virginia this unique farm and homestead provides its owner with all of the desired aspects of country living. Nestled up a private hollow this farm splits into a protective valley that surrounds the homestead, a rolling set of pastures that provide forage for livestock, and ridgeline that climbs to the summit of High Top Knob. The pastures are large, fenced, and hold several barns and structures for farm equipment. This farm features over a mile and three branches of mountain spring fed stream channels and a pond that provide year round water for livestock. The farm has a nicely hardened and maintained driveway with direct and easy access to Route 122. There is also a beautiful open grassed corridor that starts at the bottom of the farm and climbs all the way to the top of the mountain gaining over a thousand feet of elevation while providing easy access to walk, bike, and even drive to the top of the peak. With over 460 acres this farm has an enormous amount of property to explore, adventure, and hunt over. A mix of grassland and forestland provide habitat for all of the major game species. If you are a fisherman, Indian Creek just across the road from the farm entrance holds trout and other game fish species. The timber resources of the property are also extensive and marketable with easy access to most of the timber via the farm roads and pastures.

There are multiple excellent home building sites if the existing homestead doesnt suit your needs and a couple of locations provide amazing views of the surrounding area. This property has good agricultural soils, open pastures, extensive timber land, and excellent varied hunting habitats. It is a property that has been well cared for and all of its premium features make it a highly desirable farm as well as a location for a prime rural retreat.

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.
