252 Old Civil War Trail, Renick, WV 24966 - Greenbrier County

THE OLD CIVIL WAR TRAIL FARM AND HOMEPLACE

This wonderful Greenbrier County farm and homeplace is a working and active small farm. Currently, cows, chickens, and pets dwell on the farm. The farm is a corner property at the intersection of Slab Camp Road and the Old Civil War Trail Road. This is the route to the nearby home of the largest battle fought in now West Virginia, the Battle of Droop Mountain. On November 6th, 1863, the Union and the Southern Armies fought on the nearby mountain.

Today, one would not suspect the excited, wearied soldiers would have passed through the tranquil community of what is now known as Auto, WV. The farm is a 20.5 acre +/- all contiguous rectangularly shaped property with a great mix of pasture and crop field. The front is approximately 6.2 acres, and field two, with small ponds, is 5.1 acres. The remainder, not including the homesite, is a 7.5-acre forest with an untapped spring and a growing tree crop of cherry, oaks, maple, poplar, and other species. The meadow has seven strand-high tensile fencing and access gates. The farm also has woven wire fencing in areas where two strands of electric are available.

THE SOLDIER SPRING

The farm is blessed with one of the greatest assets in life: great water! The Soldier Spring is located in a cove behind the house and on the northern end of the pasture. The Soldier Spring is completely fenced to prevent farm animals from accessing the area. According to the current stewards of the farm, The Soldier Spring has never gone dry. The spring head is encapsulated with a secure spring box, which feeds into a 600-gallon +/- reservoir tank. The spring overflow feeds the two farm ponds. The Soldier Spring water is regularly tested for purity and is excellent and potable. The spring supplies abundant water for the residence and the entire farm.

SPRING 2

Below the Soldier Spring in the ravine is an undeveloped spring. This could be expanded for a larger pond.
