Property Description:
Larger than average, even by huge Ashton Woods standards (Hey, everything's bigger in Ashton Woods!), this 35 acre property also runs right up to 10' from the top of Lockinger Ridge. The pre-approved building site sits on the ridge on the north corner of the property, with views to both the east and west (you'll have to cut some trees for the western view). Further up the ridge, however, there's a dandy spot for the adventurous... right at the top of Lockinger Ridge. On another ridge, at the other end of the lot, there's a great spot that would have an easy driveway. Take a look at the maps and photos below and you'll get a pretty good idea of what you could do with this property. Several old logging roads run through this property making pleasant walking trails or even a driveway. Two very nice camping spots ("B2" & "B3" on topographic plat, above) offer a flat spot and great views. Camp while you decide where to build. Ashton Woods is quickly becoming a hotspot for beautiful log and timberframe homes. Plan now to place yours here, too!

About a 5 minute drive (from Trough Road exits... 15 minutes from Rt. 55 exit) to public access points on the South Branch of the Potomac River for canoing and fishing.  New 4-lane portions of Rt. 55 (Corridor H) will cut drive times considerably. All Ashton Woods lots are perked, surveyed and accessed by all-weather roads, which are being upgraded. Roads are plowed after 6" snowfalls. 4WD is recommended in winter. Phone and electric are already in front of many lots and planned for the rest.  Restrictive covenants that protect your property from becoming a trailer park, commercial farming site, or from lots being subdivided any smaller than 20 acres etc., are summarized below. Full 10 page copy of the Ashton Woods Restrictive Covenants is available to potential buyers.
Nearby Moorefield has a 24-hour Wal-Mart, numerous restaurants, a six screen movie theater, and most other services available. Closest hospitals are in Petersburg and Romney, each about 20-30 miles.
