Discover heaven among the tree-covered hills and grassy valleys of West Virginia’s breathtaking Heartland Region. This wooded 13.6 Acre parcel is primely located near the flowing Hughes River and around the corner from the historic North Bend Rail Trail and North Bend State Park.

“Wild and Wonderful” certainly applies to this beautiful Appalachian parcel. Ritchie Mines Wildlife Management Area and Hughes WMA provide endless opportunities for adventure, wildlife watching, hunting, and fishing. White-tailed deer, black bear, bobcat, turkey, grouse, and other small game call this pine-studded haven home. Ritchie is a favorite location for avid hunters and outdoor enthusiasts.

With diverse tree coverage and minimal undergrowth, this versatile property is ideal for a small farm, homestead, hunting cabin, vacation property, or off-grid living. With no HOA, you’re free to make it your own.

There is an existing Airstream trailer on the property and is included with the sale of the property. The Airstream is in poor condition and the title is unknown.
