The Home...
Just three years old, this 4 bedroom log home will delight the new owner whether intended for full-time year-round use, or merely for weekends and summers. Set high up on the side of High Mountain and facing south, the home has spectacular views into parts of the one million acre Monongahela National Forest. The huge deck will come in handy for outdoor entertaining, stargazing and hot-tubbing. The 3900 finished square feet on three levels include four bedrooms, three bathrooms, a loft, an office, spacious kitchen, dining area, living room, huge areas on the lower level for family room and recreation, plus ample storage and finally an unfinished utility room. In addition, there is a matching log siding and stone detached 2-car garage. All this at the very end of the road, where you have quiet, privacy and the darkest skies you can imagine. This home is First Class throughout, is in flawless condition, has never been smoked in and is spotlessly clean. Wood floors just refinished. All the bedding is fresh and the closets have plenty of fresh, clean linens. Just bring your food, clothes and toothbrush and everything else is already here! You will never find another bargain like this. Come see for yourself... how about this weekend?

Property Description:
This parcel lays 300 feet below the top of High Mountain, a high ridge just below the peak of Mount Porte Crayon (4770 ft alt.), among the highest summits in West Virginia. End of the road, "Trail's End" location. The top of the mountain and hundreds of nearby acres are owned by Westvaco as a tree farm. You can hike for hours (or days) within the Monongahela  National Forest from this location. Lot 18 is entirely wooded. Here's the exact location of the property on a topographic map (click link). Use this property for the cool summers, for weekends, full-time or for possible rentals. Several Canaan valley ski areas (Timberline, Canaan Valley State Park, White Grass) are 12-14 miles from High Mountain. There are persistant rumors of one or two additional resorts being constructed even closer (or within view) to this property.
NOTE: I am an owner (and sit on the Board of Directors) in High Mountain, as well. I have a lot at the other end of this same road. I know the property well and know many of the owners there.

High Mountain Development:
Located two miles east of Harman, WV, midway between the majestic Seneca Rocks and the resort area of Canaan Valley. 58 lots were originally subdivided, beginning in 1989, from two parcels totaling 315.8 acres, by High Mountain Corporation (David Curtis, President). The top of High Mountain Development accesses tens of thousands of acres of hiking land on Westvaco and within the National Forest. There are currently eleven very nice homes at High Mountain, with one more currently under construction.  Phone and electric is available throughout the subdivision (underground in most areas) and propane is available for delivery.  Road maintenance is conducted year-round and the treasury is in good shape with dues paid by all owners. Current financial statement is available. I am an owner at High Mountain and sit on the Board of Directors.

Homes around this area are owned by skiers, weekenders from the cities, and an increasing number of retirees seeking the simple quiet life.
