Fall Price Reduction! Escape to your own private sanctuary in Franklin, West Virginia,
perfectly timed for the autumn season. Located just three hours from the Washington
DC area, this exquisite 4-bedroom, 2-bathroom custom Canadian White Cedar log
home sits on 119.45 sprawling acres, offering the ultimate wooded retreat and
basecamp for outdoor adventure. A dedicated conservation easement protects 115
acres of the property, creating your own private park with hunting season readiness,
and breathtaking panoramic autumn views. When you are not enjoying your own land,
you are just minutes away from the small-town charm of historic Franklin—famous for
its warm welcomes and the annual Treasure Mountain Festival every September. The
property also is a short drive to world-class outdoor recreation at nearby landmarks like
Seneca Rocks, Spruce Knob, and the Monongahela National Forest.

Mexican tile flooring, seamlessly connecting the living, dining, and kitchen areas on the
