PROPERTY DESCRIPTION

Want views? They don't get any better than this! This lot must be seen to be believed—pictures just don't do it justice. They don't call this place “Applefields of Heaven” for nothin'!

An expansive six acres ensures both privacy and a never-to-be-obstructed view. A brand new bridge off Highway 50 to entrance is under construction. The road up to the top of the mountain is wide, well-maintained, and at a gentle grade for easy access year-round. The views are the best in Hampshire County , and this is one of the best view lots in the subdivision.

The top is nice and flat for building, while the back acres drop off, ensuring that you control the view for all time. There's a road at the bottom of the property to give you easy access there.

This property is just minutes from shopping in Romney, and about ten miles from the legendary Trough of the South Branch of the Potomac River which lies below in the valley to the east.

There are lots of old apple trees from when this ridge was an orchard, and they still bear fruit—lots of it—in the fall.

This is the perfect place to build your dream home or weekend getaway. There's only one road in and out, and the neighbors keep a close eye on who comes and goes for good security.

Priced to sell, this property won't last long. Move quickly, or you'll miss out!
