ABOUT THE NEW RIVER GORGE NATIONAL PARK & PRESERVE

This property is located just outside the New River Gorge National Park & Preserve, a renowned destination for hiking, biking, fishing, rock climbing, and whitewater rafting. Congress established the 70,000-acre park in 2020, and the designation has resulted in a revolutionary interest in the region as a destination for travel and residency. Articles in magazines such as National Geographic have television coverage by major networks. Time magazine recently named the park among the Worlds 100 Greatest Places.

WATER

The house looks out across the New River, a nationally renowned destination for fishing, wildlife viewing, and water recreation.
