OWNERS: "From the first moment we set foot on the Preserve property, we knew that it was an extraordinary place-an island of forested beauty with spectacular mountain views. We immediately wanted a home there where we could share our love of the outdoors with family and friends. Our cabin took shape as we pored through design magazines to find the elements of our ideal woodland home, with a large stone fireplace in the center and windows and deck capturing the mountain views."

"Our cabin home became a place of special memories and experiences with family and friends over fifteen years. Some of the times that we will always remember include: happy holiday season gatherings with extended family, pleasant hours talking, laughing, and playing favorite games gathered around the warm stone fireplace, sitting on the deck on balmy summer nights watching a meteor shower with the Milky Way as a stunning backdrop, long walks through the forests, meadows, and streams within the Preserve, the joys and surprises offered up in every season-brilliant fall foliage, deep blankets of snow and fast sled runs, the pale pink blooms of thousands of Mountain Laurel bushes, rushing streams and waterfalls, hours spent with our children reading, painting, making things, playing cards, dancing, tumbling, baking, exploring, roasting marshmallows, picking blueberries, (all without a TV screen in sight), watching many varieties of birds, including hummingbirds and gold-finches, at the outside feeders, fishing in New Creek Lake and nearby streams, swimming and relaxing at Mt. Storm lake and other streams and pools, taking day-trips to many beautiful sites such as Dolly Sods, Seneca Rocks, Blackwater Falls, and Otter Creek, the excitement of our dogs at the first whiff of pure Preserve air, skiing at Canaan Valley, seeing wildlife such as deer, bobcat, and bear, watching movies and playing pool and ping-pong in the downstairs entertainment room, and enjoying pleasant dinners by candlelight on the screened porch."

"All of these times and many more experienced in our home in the Preserve have enriched our lives beyond measure, instilled an appreciation for nature in our children, and provided us with many years of great pleasure and fun."

NEW CREEK LAKE IN THE FALL...   RAINBOW TROUT FROM THE LAKE

NOTES ABOUT USE OF THE LAKE:  New Creek Lake is owned by the City of Keyser and is the source of their water, although, not actually a reservoir. They take their water from New Creek itself, as the creek enters the city. They allow recreational use of the lake as a fishing lake, but do NOT permit boating, swimming or camping. The Division of Natural Resources stocks the lake with trout. BIG trout.

The Preserve at New Creek Lake is a 1000 acre nature preserve community with 43 private home sites laid out on about 500 acres, each adjoining the commonly owned Conservancy Area (nature preserve), consisting of the remaining 500 acres. The Preserve is a gated community adjacent to publicly owned New Creek Lake. There are many miles of marked hiking trails throughout the property. Within the Conservancy Area, there are old forgotten ruins of early homesteads, at least one old cemetery (and another next to the lake), miles of sparkling clean streams with numerous waterfalls, soaring sandstone cliffs and more wildlife than you've ever seen in one place. There are also numerous picnic tables left in convenient locations so that you can sit and relax along your explorations. Expect to see black bears, multiple flocks of as many as 35 wild turkeys foraging in the woods, flying squirrels, white-tailed deer, grouse, foxes and even an occasional coyote can be spotted. You may be lucky enough to hear the coyotes howling together higher on the mountain. There is NO HUNTING  permitted at The Preserve at any time. This is meticulously enforced at all times by relentless residents. You will not find anyplace that matches The Preserve in it's natural qualities and the values placed on those qualities. When you buy property within The Preserve, you become part of something much bigger... a community dedicated to the conservation, enjoyment, respect and care of the land and it's wildlife. Make certain that when you plan to visit The Preserve, that you allow time for the visit to include not just the property you look to purchase, but also the entire Preserve, for which each lot owner becomes a steward. Please note, this property is NOT waterfront or water view. The entrance to The Preserve travels most of the way around adjacent New Creek Lake, but the lake belongs to the nearby City of Keyser as a reservoir. The lake is stocked regularly and fishing is permitted, but boating and swimming are not.

The Preserve subscribes to the mission of the International Dark Sky Association in keeping our part of the West Virginia nighttime sky as dark as possible in order to enjoy the nighttime sky as it was meant to be enjoyed.

Note: A new east-west highway has been approved to run several miles south of The Preserve, crossing Rt. 93 near Greenland Gap and Scherr. Long in planning, this 4-lane highway is planned to connect the central part of WV with the Northern VA area.  20 miles have been completed from Wardensville, WV, to Moorefield, WV and the next 14 miles, from Moorefield to Forman is currently under construction. The next 28 miles, from Forman to Mount Storm Lake, is scheduled to begin construction in spring of 2007. When complete, this road should reduce travel time by 30 minutes.
