129.93 acres off strawderman road, MATHIAS, WV 26812

Big hardwoods, open fields, mountain views, and Lost River State Park for a neighbor make these 129.93 acres pure West Virginia gold. And the park does not just touch a corner. It borders the entire western boundary, giving you a substantial buffer of thousands of acres of public parkland. That is a feature worth paying attention to when you are buying a place to get away. Located off Strawderman Road near Mathias, this is an unspoiled tract with plenty to appreciate on your side of the boundary, too. The woods are full of mature oak, hickory, and maple, while approximately eight acres of open fields offer long range views east toward the mountains of the George Washington National Forest. Stand out in those fields for a few minutes and you will probably start thinking about which way the front porch ought to face. For the hunter, this property deserves a serious look. The hunting is excellent, and the varied mountain terrain gives you plenty of options for planning access and choosing stand locations. The existing fields are a real advantage. You have room to develop food plots without having to carve every opening out of the woods, and enough acreage to spread things out and put some thought into how you hunt. Walk it with an eye for subtle terrain features, and you will start to see the possibilities. There is just as much appeal here for someone looking for a home in the country, a weekend cabin, or a hobby farm. The open ground gives you room for a garden and space to put the land to use, with your own woods stretching well beyond the backyard. Spend Saturday working on the place or doing nothing more than enjoying it. Either way, it is your ground. You are approximately 45 minutes from Interstate 81, with convenient access from Harrisonburg. For buyers coming from Northern Virginia and the Washington, D.C., area, the location makes this an appealing place to leave the workweek behind. Tracts of this size are getting harder to find around Mathias, especially with this combination of mature woods, open fields, mountain views, and an entire boundary adjoining Lost River State Park. Come walk this one. The pictures can show you the view, but standing in those fields is what will get you thinking about making it yours.
