The approach is on a level private driveway, with plenty of "visitor parking" along both sides. The retreat has white vinyl siding and a metal roof, with stairs leading to its screened porch entry. The retreat's elevated upper level includes an L-shaped great room, two bedrooms, and a full bath, all with rugged laminate wood flooring. The kitchen area has wood cabinetry and laminate counters with a double stainless-steel sink overlooking the river. Kitchen appliances include an Amana refrigerator-freezer, a Frigidaire gas range (propane), and a Whirlpool dishwasher. The living area has a ceiling fan and a wall-mounted television. Both bedrooms are corner rooms, with the master bedroom overlooking the river and the second bedroom affording views of the yard, river trail, and wooded hillside. The upstairs bath, accessed from either the master bedroom or the hallway, has a walk-in shower, a solid surface vanity, and a double-door closet concealing a laundry area with a Whirlpool washer and Roper dryer. The retreat's spacious lower-level bath, accessed by an interior staircase, has a shower tub and a pedestal sink. Practical features include a modern Mitsubishi heating and air-conditioning system with five wall-mounted units, a high-tech water filtration system, and a Generac full-house generator. These systems are monitored and controlled by wi-fi, which enables turning on and adjusting them from even hundreds of miles away. The property is bordered by acreage on the other side of the Greenbrier River Trail protected by a conservation easement, assuring that its very private, tranquil setting, dotted with oak, maple, and sycamore trees, will remain that way. This lovely spot on the northern stretch of the Greenbrier River is ideal for fishing, kayaking, biking, hiking, and enjoying nature. A 3.5-mile bike ride along the scenic trail leads to Watoga State Park. For more energetic and adventurous bikers, the path runs to both Marlinton and Lewisburg. The longest trail of its kind in West Virginia, rated one of the Top Ten hiking trails in the country by Backpacker Magazine, it crosses 35 bridges, goes through two tunnels, and affords breathtaking views. Pocahontas County is a 4-hour drive from Washington, D.C. In addition to Watoga State Park, nearby areas of interest include the Cranberry Glades, a protected botanically significant 750-acre peat bog, the unspoiled Cranberry Backcountry wilderness area, Beartown State Park and the Monongahela National Forest. Far from the stress of contemporary life, but still close enough to modern amenities, this idyllic property is a nature lover's wonderland.
