1920 Oak Hill Homestead, 4.28 Acres Near New River Gorge — $145,000

The land is what you're buying here. Four and a quarter acres in Fayette County, private, with a 1920 house and enough outbuildings and a detached garage to make something real of the place. If you want room to spread out and do things, this is the kind of setup that's hard to find at this price.

The house is 1,300 square feet, three bedrooms, one bath, and it needs work. The listing says as-is, which means go in with eyes open. Some of the rooms don't have closets, so the bedroom count depends on how you count, but the square footage gives you space to figure that out. The bones of a 1920 house can go either way, and without knowing the condition of the roof, the mechanicals, or the foundation, you'd want to look hard before committing. A good inspection and a contractor walk-through would tell you more than the listing does.

What makes this worth a look is the land and the outbuildings. A detached garage plus multiple outbuildings on four acres gives you real options for storage, a workshop, animals, a garden, or some combination of all of it. The listing mentions small farm and homestead potential and that's not marketing stretch. The setup actually supports it.

The location matters too. Route 19 is close, which keeps you connected, and New River Gorge National Park is a short drive. If that's your world, or you want it to be, this puts you right at the edge of it. The Summit Bechtel Reserve is nearby as well.

At $145,000 for 4.28 acres with structures already in place, you're paying for the land and the possibility. The house will take money and time. How much depends on what you find when you look. But if you want acreage in Fayette County with a place to start from and room to build something, this is a reasonable place to start looking.
