Private Retreat Near Downtown Lewisburg: Discover your own woodland haven on 34+ acres in a bucolic, private hollow, tucked away from the world yet just 10 minutes from downtown Lewisburg. A quarter mile gravel driveway off Rt 60 winds through hardwood forest to bring you home. Much of the land was last timbered some 50 years ago, and about 5 acres of treeless, compost rich soil are ready for serious gardening, small scale farming, or fruit trees. Mineral rights convey with the land. Wildlife is everywhere here. Turkeys, deer, bears, and turtles feed on the front lawn, raptors and horned owls call from the trees, and songbirds, woodpeckers, and hummingbirds visit the feeders outside the windows. On summer nights, sitting on the deck watch thousands of lightning bugs pulse across the valley while whippoorwills call and tree frogs sing.. This charming two bedroom, two bath home, completed in 1991, is made for slowing down. The upstairs is a spacious 1,500 sq ft open great room with a cathedral ceiling and a long bank of 6 ft picture windows facing front. A wood stove keeps the whole level warm in winter, and a window air conditioner cools it in summer. A bedroom sits on each side of the great room. The primary suite connects through a small throughway (with laundry) and a walk-in closet, to the full bath. Downstairs, oak stair treads lead to a walk-out lower level, built as a spacious dance studio, complete with a sprung floor, and doubling as a home gym. A full bath in one corner makes it easy to use as a guest room or additional bedroom, and the space is flexible enough to divide off a suite of its own. A large, shelved storage closet and a partially finished workshop room (great as a home office) round out the level; a freezer in the workshop stays with the sale, along with all other appliances. Outside, a 3-4 person hot tub sits ready on its own deck, spa chemicals included, and a Generac generator can power the whole house. An electric log splitter is also included. There are two water sources: a well and rainwater collected off the metal roof into two linked 1,200 gallon buried cisterns. When filtered and finished with reverse osmosis produces excellent drinking water; the cisterns have never run dry. An array of solar panels with a two way meter help offset electric costs. Greenbrier County schools are close by and well regarded: Lewisburg Elementary (7 miles), Greenbrier East Middle (11 miles), Greenbrier East High (10 miles), and the West Virginia School of Osteopathic Medicine (9 miles). Nature, privacy, and small town convenience, all waiting for you here. Zoning: Open Space Conservation.
