I have talked about Ritter's Hidden Valley in other listings.  This developments offers so much from affordable mountain building lots, to convenience and great access to buyers desiring to travel no more than two hours from the Beltway.  This recreational community offers such amenities as hunting, fishing, ATV riding on almost 20 miles of gravel roads within the subdivision, hiking, camping, and the list goes on.  Dillons Run Trout stream runs through the valley of this mountain subdivision. The stream also feeds the swimming and fishing lakes. There is a nice little beach area on the swimming lake, as well as a playground and picnic area and a well maintained tennis court. This place is so rustic, it reminds you of a state park in it's natural state. These lots are becoming harder to come by as many buyers from the suburbs are purchasing these for future investment, as well as building their weekend getaways. Ritter's Hidden Valley is in Hampshire County, WV, about 10 minutes west of Capon Bridge, and a half hour west of Winchester, Va.  There are over 250 lots in this subdivision, averaging 5 acres per lot. There are approximately 135 cabins and homes, and many fulltime homeowners.  Every lot has it's own unique characteristics.  The three lots I am offering  are adjacent, so consider bringing a friend or family member.  You can buy 1, 2 or all 3. These lots are fully wooded with tall hardwoods and beautiful rock outcroppings. The lots gradually rise towards the rear, and back up to sheer rock cliffs. The owners of the lots with these cliffs would build on top, off the upper road. You would enjoy complete privacy, if and when those lot owners ever decided to build.  There is potential for mountain views (winter, with a few trees down). These are Parcels 15, 16 & 18 in Section 8, of Ritter's Hidden Valley, Hampshire County, Capon Bridge WV. 26711

Each lot is 3.3 acres in size. These are terrific lots. None have been "perked", but the soil on this mountain is mostly sand, which is quite conducive to perking for septic.  I have sold tons of lots in Ritter's Hidden Valley, and I have never had a lot turned down for septic. Electricity borders these lots, and each lot fronts on McQuinn Drive. Ask me for a larger plat if you are unable to see the one above.  The lots are being offered at $35,000 each.  Taxes are presently $160 per year, and road/park maintenance dues are $300 annually, for each lot.  There is no HOA within Ritter's Hidden Valley. The annual dues maintain the roads, lakes and park area within the community. There are a few restrictions and covenants in Hidden Valley. No mobile homes are allowed, and minimum square footage for a cabin is 575 sq.ft.  Several new homes have recently been built containing over 2,000 sq. ft. There is a nice mixture of cedar sided, log and wood sided cabins, chalets and rustic homes situated throughout the community. This is a great opportunity. The MLS# is HS6733219, and the price is $34,000 each.
