Property Description

Step into a remarkable piece of West Virginia history with this charming 1934 stone home in historic Arthurdale, America's first New Deal homestead community, envisioned by Eleanor Roosevelt during the Great Depression. Designed with self-sufficiency and community in mind, Arthurdale remains one of the state's most treasured historic communities, where many original homesteads and traditions continue today. Lovingly cared for by the same owners since 1954, this 4 bedroom home sits on approximately 2.2 acres, offering the perfect blend of history, character, and opportunity. Relax on the inviting covered front porch, where generations have gathered for evening conversations, or enjoy the peaceful setting surrounded by mature landscaping, a paved driveway, and a mix of open and wooded land. For those dreaming of a homestead lifestyle, the possibilities are endless. A spacious open field beside the home is ideal for a large garden, orchard, barn, horses, hobby farm, or future expansion, while the wooded acreage provides privacy, wildlife, and firewood potential. A dedicated canned goods storage area is a thoughtful reminder of the property's agricultural roots and is ready for today's gardeners and home preservers. Whether you're looking to raise animals, grow your own food, or simply enjoy the tranquility of country living without sacrificing convenience, this property offers a rare opportunity to own a home where history and modern homesteading naturally come together. Just minutes from local amenities yet tucked into one of West Virginia's most distinctive and historically significant communities, this is more than a home-it's a chance to become part of the continuing story of Arthurdale.
