The house is almost beside the point. A remodeled 1,232-square-foot home on 34 wooded hillside acres in Wayne County, West Virginia, at $124,500 — the land is carrying most of that price, and probably should be.
The home itself is a 1962 two-bedroom, one-bath with a living room, a separate family room, a kitchen with dining area, and a laundry/utility room. The second bedroom is described as flexible, which usually means it works for sleeping but might be tighter than a traditional room. Public water on rural acreage is a genuine plus — one less system to worry about. The listing calls it remodeled, though no dates are given for mechanicals or major systems, so that word is doing some work without much backup. A porch, a patio, and a storage building round it out.
The 34 acres are wooded and hillside, which in this part of West Virginia means steep in places and dense with tree cover. There's a natural cave feature on the property, which is either a curiosity you show every visitor or the kind of thing you fall in love with the first time you see it. Either way, you will not find that on most listings.
East Lynn Lake and Cabwaylingo State Forest are close, and Beech Fork Lake is also within reach. Hunting, fishing, hiking, kayaking, camping, trail riding — if you want access to that kind of country, this property puts you at the edge of it. As a year-round residence with room to move, or as a hunting and fishing base camp, the acreage makes the case.
The price is slightly above the per-square-foot median for the zip, but the comp data here is extremely thin, so that comparison has real limits. What you're buying at $124,500 is a livable, updated house and a serious piece of wooded land with a cave on it, near state forest and two lakes. That combination, at that price, is hard to find.
