Prime Location in Rural West Virginia
Cabins, West Virginia, is one of the great places to stay in the Potomac Highlands and renowned for its beautiful nature and the peace of the small town. The property is located in a quiet area along Powers Hollow Road and is approximately 2.4 miles from Route 55 to Petersburg. The place is very good for people who love nature and wants to be out of the city but still wants to be close to the city; it is far from the noise but near the wonders of nature. The 3.83-acre land is comprised of mountainous terrain, part woods, and a stream or creek, to be exact, making it a perfect scene that is alive with animals and the seasonal changes.
The way is very simple: from Petersburg, take a left on Route 55 and drive for about 5.2 miles, then make a right onto Powers Hollow Road. After 2.4 miles, it will be the left side where you will find the yard and the sign. The place comes under the Grant County Schools district, and its zoning (NA) is good enough for residential purposes without any development pressure. Moreover, the airports are not too far away to be a problem as it is in Morgantown or Washington, D.C. The fall season brings the most beautiful colors to the leaves whereas the winter provides a calm and quiet snow-covered wonderland – it is perfect for those who love four-season living.
Cozy Cabin Design and Layout
The focus of the property is the 422-square-foot cabin/lodge-style home, which is carefully planned for efficiency and comfort. The ground floor (with an upper loft) of the one-story building comprises the main bedroom and a multipurpose loft upstairs that can be used as a second bedroom or a storage room, thus a small family or group can be accommodated. The inside of the house has laminate plank flooring throughout, which gives it a warm, low-maintenance, and easy-to-clean-after-hiking-day kind of a vibe.
The open design makes the small space work, the sunlight comes through the windows and it is used to show off the woodsy style of the house. The place is built with sturdy T-1-11 siding and a metal roof, resting on a strong block foundation. The absence of a basement means that the house is easier to take care of, and the good condition of the home is a reflection of the recent construction. The loft provides a quaint, cabin-like appeal with the thought of you reading a book on a stormy afternoon and there. There aren’t any accessibility features but the simple layout is perfect for able-bodied residents or visitors who want an authentic backwoods experience.
Modern Amenities and Upgrades
Not to be outdone by the rustic now, a property has been fitted with modern conveniences that make it seem like an off-grid lifestyle is very easy to live. A brand-new well and a private septic tank were put in place in 2024 to provide an easy water and a waste disposal system. The mini-split system (forced air and central A/C) powers the heating and cooling with the electric fuel being the main source and propane as a backup for the cold mountain nights. The solar panels on the roof supply green and quiet back-up electricity, lowering grid reliance and thus making the house more attractive to ecologically conscious buyers.
Moreover, in the house, appliances like a dryer, a refrigerator, a washer, and an electric water heater are there for use along with the dedicated laundry area. The hot water source is an electric water heater, which makes things very simple and energy-efficient. The outdoor main attraction is the 24×48 detached garage, also with the 2018 construction, front-entry access, and a 30-amp RV hookup—the perfect place to keep the vehicles, the tools, or the RV for extra guests. In all, there are four places to park the cars including the driveway, and the underground utilities are there to keep the views nice and clean. Security in the form of a gated entrance is at the service of the residents, thereby giving them the peace of mind to be able to enjoy this remote location. Though there isn’t a pool, the nature around you is more than enough for endless recreational activities.
Nearby Attractions and Activities
One of the most attractive features that 2381 Powers Hollow Rd has is being close to the outdoor playgrounds of West Virginia. To give an example, it is only a matter of a few minutes until you get to Smoke Hole Caverns, which is appealing because of the tours it offers underground through the amazing and beautiful of limestone formations. Northbound a short distance is Dolly Sods Wilderness which includes over 17,000 acres of hiking trails, bogs, and breathtaking views suitable for national parks. The stunning quartzite crag of Seneca Rocks, with its steep, vertical face, offers the ultimate challenge for rock climbers and the perfect vista point for photographers.
The land has everything anyone could want-a mountain, trees, and a creek-which means you could do activities like scouting new paths, watching birds, or having a picnic by the creek. If it is summer, you can make use of the cool rivers around you. And if it is winter, then you could be out there snowshoeing in the woods. The place’s countryside nature means there is very little to no light pollution when it comes to seeing stars. Besides, being “not under development” has conserved the area’s naturalness for the future. As for everyday essentials, Petersburg is there to provide you shopping and dining, whereas the wider region is full of festivals, wineries, and historical places celebrating Appalachian culture.
