**Escape to Your Own Mini-Farm Paradise in Duck, West Virginia - Only $300,000!** Nestled in the quiet small community of Duck in central West Virginia, this 1985 raised ranch home sits proudly on 25.48 private acres and offers the perfect blend of comfortable living and true self-sufficient potential. Step inside this four-bedroom, two-bath raised ranch and you'll find a thoughtfully designed layout that supports everyday living. The main upper level features a kitchen and dining combined flowing into the living room, plus a convenient bathroom and three bedrooms. The lower level provides additional flexibility with a fourth bedroom, a family room/den, a utility room, a dedicated room for the wood stove, and a second full bathroom. The home is efficiently heated by a wood stove supplemented by two propane wall-mounted heaters, keeping you warm and comfortable through West Virginia winters while offering excellent self-reliance. A whole-house 22 kW propane-powered generator stands ready to keep the lights on and comforts running no matter what comes your way. The exterior features rustic oak siding (with one side currently unfinished), and the roof is a newer metal one for lasting protection. Just off the covered deck sits a 24-foot above-ground pool, perfect for family fun and summer gatherings. From the kitchen you'll find a tool room with an exit that's just steps away from the cellar house. Outside, the land truly shines for those seeking independence and self-reliance. Of the 25.48 acres, approximately 8 acres are tillable and ready for gardens, crops, or homesteading projects. Three acres of fenced pasture provide room for livestock, while the remaining 13.48 acres of woodland offer abundant firewood, privacy, and outstanding hunting opportunities. This area is excellent for pursuing game such as whitetail deer, wild turkey, black bear, and small game like squirrel-making it a dream for hunters and those who value putting fresh, local protein on the table. A good-flowing creek winds through the property, and the abundant water well is a standout feature-the seller has confirmed it can easily fill the 24-foot above-ground pool without even pausing, proving its generous output for irrigation, animals, and daily needs. Additional outbuildings support your self-sufficient lifestyle: a dedicated 12x12 chicken coop ready for your flock, a wood shed conveniently located near the house, a two-car metal carport for protected parking, and two 14x30 sheds with stalls plus a 28x32 barn (both in need of some TLC) that offer plenty of room for equipment, hay storage, or future improvements. This mini farm is truly off the beaten path, delivering the privacy that more and more people are craving in these uncertain times. Persons desiring true self-reliance will appreciate the tillable land, reliable water sources (creek and abundant well), pasture, barns, woodshed, chicken facilities, and prime hunting grounds all in one peaceful package. Also, the property sits just three miles from an entrance to the Rails to Trails system that borders the beautiful Elk River-perfect for hiking, biking, fishing, or simply enjoying the scenic West Virginia outdoors.
