Recreational Land with Home for Sale in Hillsboro, West Virginia

Tucked into 24 acres+/- of rolling Pocahontas County land, this cozy two-bedroom cabin offers something increasingly rare: real privacy, real land, and real quiet. The property is a mix of mostly wooded acreage with pockets of open field, giving you both the seclusion of the trees and the option for pasture, garden space, or additional building sites. Currently, there's only one neighbor in sight, the rest is just woods, sky, and the sounds of nature on the hillside. Inside the cabin is warm and welcoming, with an open kitchen and living area beneath vaulted ceilings and classic beadboard detailing that gives the whole space a timeless, mountain-cabin character. Two comfortable bedrooms make this an easy fit a weekend retreat or full-time abode. The real showstopper is outside: a front porch that wraps around the front and side of the cabin, complete with a porch swing and a screened-in section for bug-free evenings overlooking the quiet, wooded surroundings. Morning coffee, evening drinks, or an afternoon book session on the swing, this porch is where you'll spend most of your time here. The property includes several already-cleared and partially-cleared lots, ready-made for future construction: a guest cabin, a workshop, a second home for family, or an income-producing rental unit. For anyone interested in the growing short-term rental market, this land is an opportunity as much as it is a retreat - the existing cabin could serve as a turnkey weekend rental while additional lots are developed over time, or the whole property can remain a private family compound. The neighborhood carries light restrictions; however, 13 of the acres are congruent but completely unrestricted. While a couple of full-time residents live nearby, most owners in the area use their properties as weekend getaways- a place to unplug from the noise of busier places without leaving West Virginia's beauty behind. Known as "Nature's Mountain Playground," Pocahontas County is home to some of the most rustic, woodsy beauty found anywhere in West Virginia. A short drive from the cabin puts you at: Falls of Hills Creek - a short hike leads to three stunning waterfalls, including a dramatic 65-foot drop, tucked into the Monongahela National Forest. Beartown State Park - wooden boardwalks wind through massive, moss-covered sandstone rock formations unlike anywhere else in the state. Droop Mountain Battlefield State Park - a Civil War historic site with hiking trails, a lookout tower, and sweeping valley views. Greenbrier River Trail - a 78-mile rail-trail (the longest in West Virginia), passing right through Marlinton and offering miles of biking, walking, and horseback riding along the river. Snowshoe Mountain Resort -- one of the East Coast's premier ski destinations, renowned for its slopes and just a short drive from the property, making this cabin a four-season retreat. Whether you're drawn by the waterfalls, the ski slopes, the river trail, or simply the promise of a porch swing and 24 acres of quiet woods to call your own, this property offers a rare combination: privacy, land, income potential, and easy access to some of West Virginia's most scenic destinations, all in a corner of the state that still feels wonderfully undiscovered.
