West Virginia land real estate

West Virginia land overview

If you're an outdoorsman, you'll love the Mountain State's rugged, mountainous terrain and the its many recreational opportunities. West Virginia is the only state that lies entirely within the Appalachian Mountain Range and with only 15 million acres, it's one of the smaller states. If you're on level ground, you're probably next to one of the major rivers. If not, chances are you'll either be traveling downhill or uphill. The Appalachian and Blue Ridge Mountains start in the northeast and run southwest. This region is characterized by high peaks, forests, hot springs, parallel ridges, limestone caves, and canyons. The Appalachian Plateau covers the majority of the state, consisting of rugged hills and highlands. West Virginia has no shortage of water and waterfront property due to its many rivers, streams, and mountain lakes. If you're a hunter, the state offers plenty of hunting land and is home to a variety of wildlife.
