Located just outside Parkersburg, West Virginia, this 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom ranch-style home offers a rare combination of comfortable living space, established farm infrastructure, and 56.2 acres of versatile land. Built in 1973 and offering 2,016 square feet, the home features a mix of brick and vinyl siding, a durable metal roof, central air conditioning, and a cozy wood-burning fireplace insert. For efficient, whole-property heating, a Central Boiler outdoor wood furnace is also included.
Inside, the home provides spacious single-level living with plenty of room for family life, entertaining, or country-style relaxation. Large windows bring in natural light, while the fireplace and wood furnace create a warm, inviting atmosphere during colder months.
The property is highly functional for farming, homesteading, or multi-purpose rural living. A large barn provides space for livestock, storage, or equipment, while a 4-bay storage shed and an additional small shed with an attached garage bay offer even more utility. A travel trailer set on block piers—complete with propane and electrical hookups—adds extra guest accommodations or living flexibility. An underground 9×12 block cellar serves as an excellent space for food storage, canning supplies, root vegetables, or shelter during storms.
The land itself is rich with agricultural features. Three separate garden areas are already established—two for general crops and one dedicated to strawberries and asparagus. A 100-yard shooting range with a covered bench provides recreational use and can be expanded with brush clearing. The property also includes a variety of fruit, berry, and nut trees, such as persimmon, hazelnut, heart nut, and black walnut, creating long-term value and seasonal harvests. A small pond offers potential for improvement with sediment removal.
For livestock, the farm is ready to go. Fenced pastures support cattle and chickens, and there is room for herd expansion or the addition of other farm animals. Some livestock and equipment may be included in the sale, making the transition into farm life even easier for new owners.
With a mix of open acreage, wooded sections, mature trees, and well-maintained agricultural areas, this property offers endless possibilities—whether you want a working farm, a self-sustaining homestead, a hunting and outdoor recreation property, or a spacious private retreat.
