Locust Ridge Farm
Locust Ridge Farm - Exceptional owner-built cabin on 32+/- secluded acres with dramatic mountain views. 2-bedroom, 1-bath, with beautiful handcrafted woodwork throughout. 10 acres of pasture, small orchard, 22 acres of woodlands, with several outbuildings and the Wiseman Branch of Rock Camp Creek running through the bottom corner of the property. This one-of-a-kind getaway cabin was lovingly constructed by a North Carolina couple as a mountain retreat and is turnkey. Perched on a hill in the Rock Camp community of Monroe County, the cabin offers total privacy, natural surroundings and a panoramic view of Peters Mountain from its covered front porch.

A country road and a winding driveway lead to the cabin, tucked out of sight in a prominent hilltop setting. Simple in design, with cypress siding and a metal roof, the quaint structure features high-quality materials, thoughtful design, and economic use of space.
The main section, best described as a mini-great room, combines living, kitchen and dining areas. Attractive poplar flooring is used here and throughout the cabin. All the interior walls, counters, cabinets, storage spaces and ceiling are natural wood (cypress, white pine, red oak and cherry), with virtually no painted or laminated surfaces or sheetrock. This extensive use of wood imparts a warm, cozy feeling.
The eye-catching kitchen counters and butcherblock-style island table are treated with wood epoxy resin to resist mars and stains. There is a large stainless-steel farm sink. Appliances include a GE electric range and a Whirlpool refrigerator-freezer. The storage pantry is boxed in with cypress. A small covered side porch next to the kitchen connects to the laundry room, with an Admiral washer and GE dryer.
The corner bedroom is divided from the bathroom by a barn-style sliding door, cleverly designed to serve two purposes. When closed, it provides privacy in the bathroom while simultaneously revealing a bedroom closet concealed behind it. The attractive handcrafted bed with built-in drawers conveys with the cabin. The adjacent bath features a walk-in shower and a vanity with a solid surface counter and sink.
A staircase leads from the great room to a sleeping loft tucked above the primary bedroom and bath. This space incorporates built-in drawers and storage cabinets.
The cabin's central heat and air conditioning are provided by a ductless mini-split system. Underground utilities serve the property.
The rolling acreage is approximately 2/3 wooded with mixed hardwoods, and 1/3 pastureland. It includes 3 apple trees, 2 plum trees and a peach tree. There's a handy 12x12x10 storage building a few steps from the cabin, and a barn near the entrance to the property. A Massey Ferguson tractor with farm implements is negotiable with the sale.
The location is approximately 15 minutes from the Monroe County seat of Union. Picturesque, bucolic Monroe County is comprised of small farming communities, and boasts the distinction of having no traffic lights in its entire 474 square miles. A wider array of shops and services can be found 45 minutes to the north in the Greenbrier County communities of Lewisburg, Ronceverte and White Sulphur Springs.
This special cabin is a comfortable, picture-perfect retreat, enjoying an idyllic West Virginia country setting.
