Ashton Woods... 10,000 acres of
mountain land, divided into 363 large residential/recreational parcels
of
20 to 215 acres in West Virginia's Hardy and Hampshire Counties.
Yeeow! New primary and second home construction taking place
throughout. Lots of gorgeous new Log
and Timberframe (Post & Beam) homes, high on the mountain,
with spectacular views and sunsets. So far, mostly just building lots
for sale, but resale homes are just starting to come to market in this
new community. Lots of re-sale land parcels for sale (hey, there's 363
lots!) and plenty of
builders to choose from. A partial list of West Virginia log home
builders working in Ashton Woods is at the bottom of this page. Current
home values range from modest cabins, to well over one million dollars.
I'm
an Ashton Woods owner myself and an active participant
in
the community. I can probably answer all your
questions about any
aspect of Ashton Woods and can email anything but the property itself.
Don't be shy about asking for plats, maps, deeds, covenants, perc test
results, topographic maps, or whatever you may need to help you learn
about any of these properties. I'm happy to email whatever you need, to
you, if you're working with me.... or to your Realtor, if you're
working
through another
Realtor to make your
purchase.
Note:
Ashton Woods has now installed electronic security gates at all
three entrances.
You must have a Realtor with you to enter Ashton Woods to see
property. I'm available to show property almost any day, by
appointment.

A surprising aspect of this property is the
unusual fieldstone wall that runs

About Ashton
Woods Property in General:
About a 4-8 minute drive (from Ashton Woods' 3 gated exits) to public
access points on the South Branch of the Potomac
River
for canoing, hiking and fishing. New 4-lane portions of Rt. 55
(Corridor
H) cut drive times considerably for those coming from the DC area.
All Ashton Woods lots are perked,
surveyed and accessed by shale or gravel roads, all being upgraded to
gravel in the coming 2 years. Phone and electric are already
in front of most lots... coming soon to the rest. Electric lines to
every lot were already paid for by the original buyers. Restrictive
covenants that protect your
property
from mobile homes, commercially use, or from lots
being
subdivided any smaller than 20 acres etc., are summarized below. Full
10
page copy of the Ashton Woods Restrictive Covenants is available to
potential
buyers.
I can email them to you.
Nearby Moorefield (5-8 miles from entrances) has a 24-hour WalMart,
numerous restaurants, a great Starbucks-like coffee shop, a six
screen movie theater, and most other services are available nearby.
Closest
hospitals
are in Petersburg and Romney, each about 20 miles.
HEY BUYERS! ALL these Ashton Woods properties are
privately owned by different owners and are listed by Realtor Charlie
Winfree. You are welcome to use the services of any other Realtor as a
Buyer's Agent to help you make your purchase, but you MUST use their
services to request additional information and to show these properties
to you. That's how they earn their fees. I will email whatever they
request, plus the proper access code through the gates. Ashton Woods is
a Gated Community. You must have your Realtor with you to gain entry...
codes found being abused have been canceled.
I'm always ready, willing and able to show these properties to my
Buyers. I know the owners, the land, the roads, the rules, the upcoming
plans and I even know of some lots not on the market that may be
negotiable.
I build these web pages for my Buyers! They're to save us both time and
help you make the very best decisions. When I work directly with Buyers
(as
I do 90% of the time), I provide you with the same level of loyalty,
service and confidentiality that I do for my Sellers. I do this by
providing Dual Agency services, which, when done correctly, simply
levels the playing field, giving equal representation to both Buyer and
Seller. Nothing more, nothing less. Learn more about how that works HERE.
When working directly with me on these properties, I will provide you
with maps, covenants, Association details, septic papers, comparable
property information, current deeds, and much more, before you make
your
purchase, PLUS a 5' wide wall map of Ashton Woods at closing.
I am an owner in Ashton Woods and know it well.
Working directly with me gives you the edge. I know every lot, every
trail, every road, every bargain property, every view property, every
type of property. I know
where to put the driveway, the well, septic and the best place to
build. I know the contractors who can provide you with a driveway, or a
beautiful log home. I know the property corners and where the neighbors
are likely to build on adjacent lots. I have the maps and plats of
everything. I can quickly determine the lots
you really need to see after we look at one or two and I get your
feedback on those. We will waste no time together.
Last thoughts...
If you are serious about seeing/buying
these properties, good shoes or boots and long pants are essential. Be
certain to dress for the weather! You will NOT
see these large properties effectively from the seat of a car. If you
do not plan to make a purchase in the next few months, you should
consider waiting until you are about ready to buy. The list of
available lots changes weekly. When you do come out to look, be sure to
bring your spouse or co-purchaser. They need to see everything you do.
Dog Owners: If your dog is
likely to get along with my super-friendly female Husky, bring him or
her along! The dogs love walking in the woods with us.

Description:
Here's one of those rare ones that
everyone keeps asking about! Lot 73
has a long driveway, winding throughout he property from the
entrance gate at the end of Loblolly
Drive, past the pond, through

the pond, then crossing the concrete-topped road across
Sawmill Run. From the creek,
the driveway then gently climbs a small ridge to the likely
building site at the top, in the
woods. Total distance is about 1200'. How's that for privacy! All this
comes in a property just 1/2 mile from the Trough View Road security
gate, mailboxes, etc. This would be especially convenient for those
planning to live full-time in Ashton Woods someday, as I am. Here's two

Property
Description:
20.15 acres of mountain land in Ashton Woods, featuring mixed hardwoods
(mostly Sugar Maple) and Pine, at an elevation of 1400-1500'.
About
half the acreage is gently sloped, meaning potentially available for a
building site and driveway, taking you far from the roads. This lot has
an old logging road running along the main ridge line through the pines
that could be the basis for a driveway or just a great trail for
walking
through the forest. It takes about ten minutes to walk from one road to
the other through the lot, mostly on this old road, and it's a pleasant
walk the whole way.
This lot has good access from TWO roads and potential building sites
are
accessed from either road. Phone & electric lines

A level
entry from Ridge View Road along an
old logging road (photo) brings you to a flat build site at the edge of
a bluff with an
eastern view . Mixed pines and
hardwoods cover most of the 8 fairly level acres on Lot 149. Build
about anywhere within that large flat area, but the most eastern
portion will allow for the best views. Plenty of space for other uses
for the land, as well.
The
old logging road connects with and
continues through the nicest part of adjacent Lot 148. Lot 149 is
ideal for camping. The 800' of old logging road makes a perfect
driveway and gets you around the best of the acreage without having to
cut but a few trees. The far north side of the property has a large
power line that defines that 600' property line. It's not visible from
any likely build site and no structures touch the property.

a finished and working septic system (3 bedroom). The only things
they've left for you to do are to provide the home and enjoy the
PANORAMIC VIEW (huge
photo). See the
TOPO MAP to understand this lot
best. Most of the trees were retained around the building site.
Far below the
BUILDING SITE, a high-voltage
power line runs through the lower part of the property, visible in
winter, but out of view from the building site with leaves on trees.
See
PLAT HERE.
If the view is your priority, you need to see
this one quickly! Here's a
MORNING
VIEW from #333 with fog
in the valley just before sunlight arrives (thanks Andi).

Lot 202: 20.20 ac
Property
Description:
Located in Hampshire County on top of Lockinger Ridge, facing West, Lot
202 has about one acre already cleared with a short,
flat driveway to a great
building site with a mountain view. See the
TOPO MAP
and you'll see the top of this property is fairly flat and gets steeper
as it goes down the hill... perfect for a
great view.
Here's the
WIDE wintertime view.
Owners moved to Atlanta and can no longer use this beautiful property,
but are willing to allow their loss to be your gain! Buy this
property if you want a short flat driveway, with a great year-round
view, and relatively level building site, close to the road.

Lot 272: 20.13 ac
Property
Description:
Right on top of the flat-topped South Branch
Mountain, you
can build your cabin on level ground at over 3000' altitude! Clear some
of the
trees for a 50-mile view to the west from 2200' above the valley
floor. A few
hundred feet from the road, the flat land drops off down to another
flat area, then it runs down the mountain to another road, where
there's
a second potential building location. Enjoy cool temperatures, good
summer
breezes, pitch-black nighttime skies and winters for the adventurous at
the top of the
mountain.
Ferns galore! Wildlife is everywhere!
If you like to hike or hunt, you'll
find the top corner of
this
property is exactly
207 feet from 10,675
acres of WV State public
hunting land and hiking trails!
Great road, good, flat road frontage.
Walk across the road and you're
there. A great road leads into the public area, but the "public" cannot
access the public land from here... only Ashton Woods owners!

TOPO
MAP here.

Lot 77: 20.51 ac
Property
Description:
Lot 77 has a bit of everything. Several acres
in the front are mostly pines and
level fields. In the
rear of the property, there are
several acres of hardwood forest bordering a year-round creek. A
wooded hill rises 100' above
the shaded creek. But
most of the property is relatively level grassy fields with small pines
and a few hardwood trees popping up here and there. The fields slope
very gently down to the crystal-clear creek. Take a look at the
TOPO MAP . Elevation is
about 1100'. A home could be built about anywhere on this property.
Probably the
best spot would be at the top of the gentle rise, just behind the pine
patch from the road, biggest windows facing South for the sunlight, or
East toward the creek. This one's a peach!

Lot 55: 22.18 ac
Property
Description:
Prepare yourself for 22 acres of pure natural beauty! The owners of
this property will have their own park to enjoy! Over 1800 feet of
crystal-clear waters of
Clifford Hollow Run
make up the rear boundary line for Lot 55. Laying to the side of
the creek are about
12 of the prettiest flat to gently rolling
acres you'll ever find. Through it all, runs an
old
logging road, for 1500' (shown as dotted line on the topo map).
This wide-open maple-oak-hickory forest looks far more like a public
park than a private land parcel.
The upland portion of the property is a
pine forest on a
gentle hilltop, 80' above the creek. Build your home here and overlook
it all.
Here's the
TOPO MAP. The creek runs along
the entire eastern border.

Property
Description: Over 20 acres of rare FLAT,
wooded land, the kind that allows you to use 100% of the land for
enjoyment and have a flat driveway and a level building site. Use
this property the way you want to be using property... walk all over
it, make trails, enjoy a long, low-maintenance, driveway, NEVER worry
about snow or ice on a hill. This is the sort of property you want if
you're tired of fooling with steep land and especially if you plan to
live here full-time. A 20 AC
PLAYGROUND!. A mix of hardwoods & pines. Some giant older
trees at the far end of the
property were forgotten by the loggers years ago. :-) From there, you
could have 100%
privacy and a nice view into a
valley just south of this lot. See the
TOPO MAP
. Note that the topo map has 5'
contour intervals... that's how flat it is.

the south exposure for the sunlight and clear just a few trees on the
north side for your views of the mountains. Wherever you camp or build,

from the private road with about zero traffic. Here's the

Lot 22: 20.31 ac
Property
Description:
FIRST thing to know about Lot 22 at Ashton Woods is how convenient it
is to the new
4-lane Corridor-H (Route 55) highway! Just a half-mile off the highway
to your new home in the woods. This lot already has a level driveway
cut
in to a cleared area of about an acre, opening up a terrific view of
the
mountains. The other 19 acres are all wooded with some pines but mostly
deciduous trees. The center of the property has a small stream bed
running
through it, which may have water part, but not all of the year. The
other
side of the property also has some very nice land for camping or
building
with great views.

Lot 331: 20.22 ac
Property
Description:
This
20 ac wooded lot comprises the entirety of a flat-topped knoll just
below the top of the mountain at about 2350' elevation... about 1500'
above the valley floor. Sweeping views of the mountains are to be had
with some modest trimming of the trees (no need to bulldoze the forest,
tho). Just one lot away (past home for sale for $1.2 mil), you can
access 10,675 acres of state land... hike, hunt, camp! The
developer split the similar adjacent knoll into two lots and sold both,
each for about the price of this entire knoll. Other knolls at this
elevation sold for up to twice this price.
See the
TOPO MAP
and you'll appreciate the way this one was laid
out.

Lot 198: 35.5 ac
Property
Description:
Larger than average, even by huge Ashton Woods
standards, this 35 acre property also runs
right up to 10' from the very top of Lockinger Ridge. The pre-approved
building site sits on the ridge on the north corner of the property,
with views to both the east and west. Further up the ridge, there's a
dandy spot
for the adventurous... right at the top of Lockinger Ridge. On another
ridge, at the other end of the lot, there's a great spot that would
have an easy driveway.
