184.39 Acres Of West Virginia Hunting Land With Timber, Stream, And Homestead Potential In Lewis County
TBD Loveberry Run Rd. Weston, WV 26452
Description
Located in southern Lewis County, West Virginia, this exceptional 184.39-acre property offers a combination of privacy, recreational opportunity, timber, water, wildlife habitat, and usable terrain that is increasingly difficult to find in a single tract. Positioned approximately 1.5 miles off Copley Road along Right Loveberry Run Road, the property is tucked into the head of a secluded hollow along Loveberry Run while remaining within convenient driving distance of Weston and the surrounding communities.
The property features the classic central West Virginia landscape of rolling ridges, wooded hillsides, secluded valleys, and natural drainage. Loveberry Run provides a perennial water feature through the lower portion of the property, adding to the scenic character and creating a natural corridor through the tract. The combination of ridge and valley terrain gives the property a diverse layout with opportunities for hunting, recreation, timber management, livestock, food plots, camping, and a future rural homestead.
For the outdoor enthusiast, the wildlife potential is a major feature. Southern Lewis County is known locally for strong populations of white-tailed deer, wild turkey, and black bear. The property's diverse terrain, wooded cover, stream corridor, and recent timber activity create a variety of habitat conditions. Selective timber harvesting approximately three years ago opened portions of the forest floor to increased sunlight and new growth while improving wildlife cover and forage. The timber operation also established an internal road system that provides access throughout much of the property, making it easier to reach different elevations, hunting areas, timber stands, and potential food plot locations.
The property is primarily wooded, with mature yellow poplar stands providing a significant component of the forest cover and adding both visual appeal and potential timber value. Timber should be evaluated by a qualified professional for current volume, species, quality, and market value. The recent harvest may also provide an opportunity for continued forest management and habitat improvement as the property regenerates.
The open areas within the valley offer additional versatility. Depending on the buyer's plans and applicable site conditions, these areas could potentially be developed into pasture, hay ground, wildlife openings, or food plots. The combination of open valley and wooded ridge terrain creates a property layout suitable for a variety of recreational and agricultural uses. The land could support plans involving cattle, horses, goats, or other livestock, subject to appropriate fencing, water, access, zoning, and other considerations.
A rustic hunting camp and additional outbuildings are already located on the property and provide existing infrastructure for someone looking to establish a recreational base camp. The structures are in need of restoration, but they offer a starting point for future improvements, storage, hunting accommodations, or a seasonal retreat. Buyers should independently verify the condition, usability, and permitted use of all existing structures.
Electric service borders the property, providing a potential utility connection for future improvements. The seller also indicates potential free gas availability, which should be independently verified by the buyer with the applicable provider and based on current availability, connection requirements, and any associated restrictions or costs.
For hunters, the property's combination of secluded terrain, timber, young growth, stream habitat, and internal access creates an attractive setting for managing a private hunting property. Whitetail deer, wild turkey, and black bear are among the wildlife species reported in the area. Hunting is subject to all applicable West Virginia laws, seasons, licensing requirements, and property-specific restrictions. Prospective buyers should consult the West Virginia Division of Natural Resources for current regulations before planning any hunting activities.
For recreational buyers, the 184.39-acre size provides room to explore, hike, ride approved recreational vehicles where permitted, camp, hunt, observe wildlife, manage timber, and develop the property over time. The internal road system offers a practical foundation for continued property management and access to different portions of the tract.
Whether the goal is to establish a private hunting property, manage a West Virginia timber tract, develop livestock acreage, restore an existing hunting camp, create food plots and wildlife openings, or build a rural retreat, this Lewis County property provides a versatile foundation. The combination of acreage, water, wooded terrain, open valley areas, existing structures, utility access, wildlife habitat, and proximity to Weston makes this a property worth exploring.
This 184.39-acre tract in Lewis County represents an opportunity to acquire a substantial piece of central West Virginia with multiple potential uses. From the secluded hollow and perennial Loveberry Run to the rolling wooded ridges and established internal roads, the property offers the natural features and existing infrastructure that can allow a buyer to shape the land around a long-term recreational, agricultural, timber, or homestead vision.
