1,360± Acres With Shavers Fork River Frontage And Bordering Monongahela National Forest

Rt 9 Cheat Mt. Rd Elkins, WV 26240

Description

A property of this caliber isn't simply owned, it's cherished. This is 1,360± acres of pure Appalachian grandeur, a private sanctuary where luxury is defined not by marble floors or chandeliers, but by the rarest natural assets on the Eastern United States: wild rivers, million‑dollar views, and a level of privacy that borders on mythical. At the heart of this estate flows two miles of the Shavers Fork River, one of West Virginia’s most revered trout fisheries. Fed by annual runoff, mountain snowmelt and natural springs, cold, crystalline water curls through the property, creating a fishing experience so exceptional it feels curated. Imagine stepping out your door and into a river alive with rainbow, brown, and native brook trout—your own private blue‑ribbon fishery. The land is a masterpiece of scale and beauty. Ridgetops sweep across the horizon, offering panoramic views of the Allegheny Mountains. Along the river bottom, 150 acres of lush, green meadows lie in a level plane, perfect for hay production, crops, or simply as dramatic open space. Beneath the canopy, a thriving hardwood forest holds millions of dollars in standing timber value, a testament to decades of careful stewardship and a significant long‑term asset for the next owner. Multiple streams run through the property, including one that contains native brook trout, a treasure found only in the purest mountain waters. Wildlife thrives here: trophy deer, black bear, turkeys and countless species of birds and small game. For the sportsman, this is a dream. For the conservationist, a responsibility. For the visionary, a legacy. A charming cabin with full utilities sits tucked along the edge of a bottomland meadow, offering immediate comfort and a luxurious sense of seclusion. It’s the perfect basecamp while you explore the property’s internal trail network or plan a future lodge, family compound, or private retreat. With a national forest bordering the land on multiple sides, your backyard effectively expands into one million acres of the Monongahela National Forest, a wilderness playground unmatched anywhere in the region. Despite its profound privacy, the estate is conveniently located near Elkins, the trout fishing capital of West Virginia, where dining, supplies, and small‑town charm are always within reach. The town even boasts a small liberal arts college. This is not just a high-end property; it is a once-in-a-lifetime holding. A place where luxury is measured in miles of private river, in the hush of untouched forest, in the sweep of mountain ridgelines that belong entirely to you. A place where legacy, investment, recreation, and natural beauty converge in perfect harmony. Give Land Specialist Kevin Yokum a call today to set up your private showing.
