FOREST / TIMBER RESOURCES

Forest-wide, the wooded area is fully stocked, providing the next ownership with a great deal of flexibility in shaping their own silvicultural legacy. Stem quality forest-wide can be considered excellent with the forest containing a good stocking of trees.

The forest is healthy and there are no signs of pest infestations of Gypsy Moth. The Emerald Ash Borer and the Hemlock Wooly Adelgid could be present which may result in the majority of the ash and hemlock trees becoming severely stressed over the next decade. There have been no forest fires in the recent memory.

RECREATION AT THE HOLLAND HOMEPLACE

The Holland Homesite offers unparalleled recreational opportunities. Numerous recreational activities are anchored by the New River Gorge National Park and Preserve with the New River and Summersville Lake being nearby. The Gauley River, Kanawha River and the Elk River further enhance the water-sports opportunities.

Water-sports enthusiasts will find these waters ideal for boating, whitewater rafting, swimming, canoeing, fishing, kayaking, tubing, snorkeling, paddle boarding and windsurfing. Great fishing is found in all the above-mentioned rivers and lakes with bass (largemouth, smallmouth and rock), flathead catfish, channel catfish, muskie and bluegill present in good numbers.

Nature viewing is first in line of recreational activities. Attentive wildlife management has been geared not to just larger animals. Equal consideration has been extended to increasing the numbers and diversity of species including neo-tropical songbirds, butterflies, turtles, frogs, rabbits, chipmunks, dragonflies, owls, eagles and hawks. White tail deer, black bear, beaver, red/gray fox, bobcat, wild turkey, grouse, duck, squirrel, raccoon, fox and rabbit make up the resident wildlife population. It is hard to find an area that has a better mix of wildlife.

Mountain Biking and Hiking

The New River Gorge National Park and Preserve and Summersville Lake Recreational Area both contain miles of trails that may be used for mountain biking and hiking. The area also offers several state parks and the Monongahela National Forest geared for these activities.

Rock Climbing and Rappelling

The area offers world class New River Gorge and Summersville Lake rock climbing. Confident first-timers, folks who have climbed before, or those looking to advance their skills will enjoy the natural sandstone cliffs this area has to offer.

MINERAL RESOURCES

West Virginia is one of the states in the US that has two separate ownership titles; those being SURFACE RIGHTS and MINERAL RIGHTS. All rights the owner has will convey with the property. A mineral title search could be conducted by a title attorney at the same time when the surface title search is being conducted.

BOUNDARIES AND SURVEY

The property was surveyed in 1990 by William Soloman, Licensed Land Surveyor. A copy of this survey can be found in the Office of the County Clerk of Nicholas County in Deed Book 336 Page 200. Additionally, a more recent survey was conducted by Converse Surveying in August 2017. This survey was not recorded but will be provided to prospective buyers. The property is being sold by the boundary and not by the acre. Before purchasing the property, potential buyers can consult a licensed surveyor to determine the actual location of the property and the true number of acres.
