734 Vanderpool Ln, Renick, WV 24966

431+ Acre Farm & historic manor. Looking for an investment in timber, hospitality, farming or maybe a place to enjoy life - here you will find all of the above in a quiet & pristine setting. The land offers 75+ tillable acres, as well as 355+ acres of mainly woodland with some pasture. The 4758 Sq Ft home will amaze you with the detail and the gorgeous wood interior - walls, floors, even ceilings boast radiant wood throughout. The hardwood wood available 130+ years ago was simply magnificent and as you walk thru the house - trust me- you WILL be impressed. It simply cannot be duplicated today and if it was obtained, the bldg. cost would be exorbitant. A 30x90 metal bldg will house the RV's, the ATV's, the farm equipment & offers a walk in vault, there are also 2 + barns. The house was originally built in the mid to late 1800's, it was meant to be utilized as a "roadhouse inn" for travelers on Seneca Trail / Rt. 219. As it turned out the road was not constructed as close to the property as the owners were hoping! The home is actually 3 stories but the 3rd floor was never finished. During the past several years the home has seen substantial improvements but there are still some projects not completed. You will find it is stately and very spacious. Originally conceived as a Welcoming Inn, the manor showcases Matt Walton's passion for fine local woodwork (Mr. Walton was a pioneer in West Virginia's lumber industry). Each room features pristine, hand selected woodwork crafted from old growth trees, creating an ambiance that is as beautiful and timeless as it is enduring! There is a long private, level gravel road from the paved county road, which leads to the manor. The developed springs on the property have been used for over a century and are very impressive. The land is diverse and another 80+ acre and 313 acre tract could also be purchased. The land offers farming, ranching, hunting, ATV trails throughout, harvestable timber and would be a fantastic AIRBNB, and is as private, natural and wild as it has been for a 100++ years!
