Description
Step into a rare blend of history, comfort, and natural beauty with this exceptional riverfront property anchored by a charming cabin originally built in 1880. A thoughtfully integrated addition brought in from Pennsylvania and finished less than 10 years ago enhances the home while preserving its timeless character.
Inside, the cabin offers warmth and authenticity with a true stone fireplace, complemented by a pellet stove on the second floor—perfect for cozy evenings in every season. Modern utilities throughout, including electric, water, and septic, ensure today’s conveniences without sacrificing rustic appeal.
Outdoors is where this property truly shines. Relax in the hot tub on the back porch overlooking the river, where gentle rapids create a soothing soundtrack as water flows over the rocks. The land features an impressive 3,600 feet of frontage along the Cacapon River, providing endless recreational opportunities and breathtaking scenery.
A pavilion located at the water’s edge makes an ideal gathering spot for entertaining, fishing, or simply enjoying the peaceful setting. Mature hardwoods and scattered timber blanket the property, offering privacy, beauty, and long-term value. Wildlife is abundant, including waterfowl, and a beaver hut at the far end of the property adds to the untouched, natural charm.
With multiple build sites, including one offering 360-degree panoramic mountain views, the property provides outstanding potential for expansion or additional homes. A gated entrance ensures privacy and security, making this an ideal retreat or legacy property.
As an added bonus, a Kubota BX-23 tractor will convey, making land management and maintenance effortless.
Whether you’re seeking a peaceful riverfront getaway, a recreational haven, or a one-of-a-kind property rich in history and scenery, this Cacapon River retreat delivers an experience that’s increasingly hard to find.
