High on top of the mountain in wild and wonderful West Virginia. This 3.79 acre, fully wooded lot has some slope, and falls off with great views towards the western mountain slopes. This would make a very nice lot for building a vacation home with a walkout basement, or a rear observation deck offering these terrific views. 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 3 to 5 acres per lot. There are approximately 135 cabins and homes, and many fulltime homeowners.  Every lot has it's own unique characteristics.
