1489 PAINTER HOLLOW ROAD

FORT ASHBY, WV 26719

Some properties are pretty. Some are practical. This one is powerful. This is 40 acres of unfiltered West Virginia — no HOA, no covenants, no neighbors telling you what you can and can’t do. Just hardwood timber, an open meadow, and room to build the kind of place people drive two hours to escape to. You’ll find a stand of mature hardwoods that gives the land weight and value, paired with a small open field that’s perfect for a homesite, food plot, horses, or simply keeping your view open. It’s the classic Appalachian layout: woods for privacy, a clearing for life, and enough acreage to stretch out and breathe. The property fronts directly on a County Road, giving you clean, deeded access right off a historic public road — not a sketchy paper easement. It also has a secondary right-of-way to the rear of the property, which dramatically increases how usable and flexible this land really is. Whether you want to build, bring in equipment, or develop multiple access points in the future, this tract gives you options. There is an older farmhouse on the property. It needs a full renovation — no sugarcoating that — but it stands as a solid frame and a legitimate starting point for someone who wants character, history, and the bones of something worth rebuilding. It’s not a teardown; it’s a foundation for a vision. Location is where this property quietly dominates. You’re just outside Fort Ashby, West Virginia, near Cumberland, Maryland, and minutes from I-68, which puts Washington, D.C., Northern Virginia, and Baltimore all within an easy two-hour drive. That means you can leave the office Friday afternoon and be standing on your own 40 acres of private ground before dinner. Hunting, ATVs, food plots, trails, hiking, horses, cabins, or a serious country estate — this land doesn’t force you into a box. There’s nothing quirky, nothing limiting, and nothing artificial about it. It’s just clean, honest acreage in a part of West Virginia that still feels real. Properties like this don’t come along often — unrestricted, well-located, road-front, buildable, and large enough to matter. If you’re tired of crowded developments, HOA nonsense, and tiny lots pretending to be “country,” this is your exit ramp. Multiple offers, deadline Monday 1/19 at 4 pm.
