Legal Description: The Crossing at Great Cacapon, Phase Six Lot 146, 4.435 ac

Property Description:
With 4.6 wooded acres, a 500' gravel driveway and level building area at the top, this lot allows you to camp or build on it right away. Driveway needs to be extended a bit further. Mostly hillside (aren't they all?), this one has lots of opportunity for a relatively private and flat building site plus a great winter view... year 'round if you cut some trees. An old logging road runs through woods to several hundred feet of a small stream running across a corner of the lot. Just a few lots away from the best common areas on the river. The Crossings is a NO HUNTING community.

The Crossings at the Great Cacapon:
CACAPON RIVER AT THE CROSSINGS... MILES OF RIVER TO BOAT, SWIM & FISH!
  Known simply as The Crossings by those who know and love this place, this is a huge river front community in Hampshire County and one of the closest, nicest weekend/retirement recreational communities to the DC area. You can get here in UNDER 2 hours from downtown DC! Formerly a large farm, The Crossings has open and wooded, river front and upland, homes and home sites available. With over 200 lots altogether, there seem to always be a wide assortment of resales available due to the mobile DC community that comprises so many of the owners. There are about 90 homes now, with one or more under construction at any time. A very well established community where a tour will easily convince you that things are being done correctly. All the roads and physical amenities, such as picnic shelters and playgrounds are well maintained. A security gate keeps out the curious as well as those up to no good. The Board of Directors keeps the treasury in good shape (ALL dues up to date!) and appears to be responsive to the needs of the community. There are a several miles of river frontage, within The Crossings, that you can use for tubing, canoing, fishing and swimming.  You don't need river frontage on your own lot here... the common areas are not far from any lot and actually comprise the very best waterfront areas along the river. Float, tube, kayak, fish or canoe from one access point to another... four altogether, spread out over several miles of river. Numerous public river entry points up and down the river for longer, even overnight boating trips! If you want to have prime recreational property in an upscale river community (at affordable prices), look no further than The Crossings. Lot prices normally range from about $25k to $60k.
