Lonesome Dove Hollow | 194 Acre Private Valley, Homestead & Timber | Near Lewisburg, WV

https://www.gristrealestate.com/prope... There are large properties, and then there are properties that contain entire worlds within their boundaries. Lonesome Dove Hollow is the latter. Stretching 194+/- acres from the top of Chestnut Flats Road to the bottom of Lonesome Dove Road just outside of Lewisburg, West Virginia, this extraordinary property encompasses its own large and protected valley, a crown of surrounding ridgetops, a working primary residence, an original hand built homestead, multiple barns and outbuildings, mature hardwood timber of significant value, productive hay and pasture fields, and its own mountain watershed and run. Properties of this scale, privacy, and completeness simply do not come to market often — and rarely this close to one of West Virginia’s most celebrated small towns. ✨ The primary residence sits at the front and upper section of the property, easily accessed from paved Chestnut Flats Road and served by a well and a frost free hydrant for gardening and livestock. A large pole barn and additional outbuildings provide extensive storage for equipment, tools, and farm operations. Behind the residence, a network of well maintained forest roads reaches down into the forested Lonesome Dove Valley from the eastern edge of the property, opening up a landscape of mature timber, ridge trails, and deep forest that rewards exploration at every turn. A recent timber cruise confirms significant standing hardwood value throughout the property, with Poplar, Chestnut Oak, Red Oak, and Sugar Maple among the primary species, alongside impressively large American Beech trees that lend an unmistakable sense of age and grace to the land. 🌿 A series of productive hay and pasture fields follow Chestnut Flats Road, suitable for livestock and hay production, while additional smaller open fields across the property create a diverse mosaic of agriculture, edge habitat, and mature woodland that is nothing short of exceptional for wildlife. Whitetail deer, turkey, black bear, and multiple squirrel species call this property home, and the combination of widespread edge habitat and mature forest creates dependable, high quality wildlife forage throughout every season. For the serious hunter or outdoor enthusiast, Lonesome Dove Hollow is a property without equal in this region. 🦌🐻 Just past the primary residence, Chestnut Flats Road dips into the valley where Lonesome Dove Road branches off and leads down into the hollow, dead ending at the second entrance to the property. A locked gate and Burns Run guard this entrance to the original homeplace — a hand built, wood sided two story home with a hand cut stone foundation, accompanied by a multistory barn and outbuilding. Crossing Burns Run on foot or by vehicle feels like passing through a portal into another world entirely. The maintained road opens into a protected, level flat at the mouth of the valley where only birdsong and the quiet sound of Burns Run flowing off the surrounding mountains break the silence. A large grove of mature White Pine stands above the homestead, providing year round shelter and an atmosphere of timeless seclusion that is extraordinarily rare. Multiple roads lead up the valley and deeper into the mountains, branching toward far ridges, protected bowls, and small isolated valleys that feel like genuine remote wilderness — yet are only nineteen minutes from downtown Lewisburg. 🏔️ That proximity to Lewisburg is one of Lonesome Dove Hollow’s most compelling advantages. Voted the Coolest Small Town in America, Lewisburg offers fine dining, boutique shopping, Carnegie Hall, the Greenbrier Valley Theatre, and a year round calendar of beloved events including the Chocolate Festival, Taste of Our Town, the WV State Fair, and the Literary Festival. The Greenbrier Valley Airport is just seventeen minutes away, the Greenbrier Resort and Casino in White Sulphur Springs is within easy reach, and the town of Frankford is fifteen minutes down the road. This is genuine wilderness privacy with genuine small town convenience — a combination that defines the very best of Almost Heaven, West Virginia. 📍 Comment below, send us a message, or visit our website to schedule your private showing today. 🔔 Please LIKE, SUBSCRIBE and hit the NOTIFICATION BELL so you never miss our latest West Virginia land, farm, and lifestyle property features!
