There is a certain kind of West Virginia property that is almost impossible to duplicate once you find it. This is one of them. A striking 2023 contemporary set on 20.78 wooded acres in gated Ashton Woods, with room to hunt, hike and roam on your own land, plus access to thousands of additional acres of public ground just beyond the community. The 1,440 square foot home fits the setting perfectly, with soaring wood ceilings, oversized windows, warm natural trim and an open layout that feels modern without losing the character of a mountain retreat. The kitchen offers generous workspace and opens naturally to the living area, while the large windows bring in an abundance of natural light and keep the surrounding woods and mountain scenery in view. Outside, a spacious deck, fire pit area, garage, storage building and ample parking make the property every bit as functional as it is inviting. The 20 plus acres give you the freedom to hunt your own ground, hike your own woods, build trails or simply enjoy having real space and privacy around you. Ashton Woods is one of Hardy County’s most desirable mountain communities, known for its gated setting, large wooded tracts and beautiful mountain surroundings. Property owners also enjoy private community access to the 10,000 plus acre Nathaniel Mountain Wildlife Management Area, opening up thousands of additional acres for hunting, hiking and exploring beyond your own property. This homesite is also positioned near the outer portion of Ashton Woods, giving you the privacy and character of the community without a long drive deep into the subdivision. Trough Road is close by, along with the South Branch of the Potomac River, public river access, fishing, kayaking and miles of additional outdoor recreation. For buyers coming from Washington, D.C., Northern Virginia or the Baltimore area, this is close enough to use often, yet far enough away to feel like a genuine escape. Twenty acres. A nearly new contemporary home. Garage and storage. Hunting at home. Gated mountain living. More than 10,000 acres of public land nearby. The South Branch just down the road. There are plenty of mountain properties for sale. Very few put all of this together in one place.
