OVERVIEW

Within the nation's newest national park, this seemingly remote seven-acre retreat is only four miles from Interstate 64 and twenty from Beckley, the largest city in southern West Virginia. In a forest valley surrounded by park, it's ideally suited as a home or vacation property.

Most recently used as a single-family vacation camp, a terraced one-acre clearing along the road overlooking Meadow Creek Falls was once the site of a historic farmhouse and includes a well. Trails wander the remaining six-acre woodland and ascend into the uninhabited park backcountry. Backcountry status ensures the surrounding woodlands will not be developed.

The retreat is located in the southern section of the national park, an area prized by anglers, kayakers, hikers, and hunters. Tourists visiting the area are also fond of visiting epic nearby attractions such as Grandview, Sandstone Falls, and the Glade Creek Gristmill. Winterplace ski area is a 30-mile drive from the retreat, and The Greenbrier at White Sulphur Springs and the New River Gorge Bridge at Fayetteville are an hours drive.

ABOUT MEADOW CREEK

Meadow Creek is a popular public trout stream stocked February through May. It takes its name for a large area of meadows on its gentle upper course. Its lower course descends swiftly through falls, pools, and boulder-strewn uplands forests. A single lane country road follows the creek between the towns of Meadow Creek, on the New River, and Meadow Bridge, near the source of the stream. Meadow Creek is sometimes mapped as Little Meadow River, a smaller counterpart of the Meadow River, a popular whitewater kayaking stream.

ABOUT THE MEADOW CREEK BACKCOUNTRY

The property is unique in its situation in a remote section of the new national park. Bounded on three sides by the park, it descends out of a remote highland in which no human habitation has likely ever been built. The water that descends across the property sources in a little-explored highland of cliffs nearly a thousand feet above. The retreat is bounded on three sides by what's officially designated by the park service as the Meadow Creek Backcountry, an area of park that will continue to be left natural.
