Every once in a while, a property comes along that’s rough around the edges but loaded with potential. This is one of them. Located in the River View Subdivision on 5.11 wooded acres, this split-level home is the definition of a project with a payoff—for the investor, renovator, or hands-on buyer who can see past the work and focus on the end result. The home offers 1,366 square feet and currently features two bedrooms and one bath. The footprint is large and flexible, making it easy to reconfigure, expand, or redesign to fit your needs. Add a second bathroom, reshape the layout, finish the lower level—this house gives you the space and structure to create real value. It needs renovation throughout, but that’s exactly what makes it such an opportunity. The land is a major part of the appeal: 5.11 acres of hardwoods, wildlife, and the kind of privacy people chase when they head to Hampshire County. The terrain is usable, the setting is quiet, and the surroundings offer that rugged West Virginia feel buyers want. And the location checks all the boxes. You're just minutes from the South Branch of the Potomac River—ideal for fishing, kayaking, tubing, and weekend recreation. Plus, you're under an hour from Winchester, Virginia, and under an hour from Cumberland, Maryland, giving you quick access to town amenities while still being tucked away in the country. The bottom line: where else can you get a project home on five acres, with this kind of potential, for this price? Properties like this don’t hit the market often, and when they do, they don’t last long. If you’re an investor, a builder, or someone who isn’t afraid to take on a renovation, this is your opportunity. Come walk the land, look at the footprint, and see what this property can become with the right vision and work.
