1 Audra State RoadBelington, WV 26250Price: $399,900

Lot 1 Audra Park Road is ±183 acres of wooded West Virginia mountain land just outside Belington in Barbour County and what sets it apart isn't only what's inside the property lines. It's what's on the other side of them. Audra State Park wraps this parcel on multiple sides. That's not a neighbor. That's permanently protected public land with no future subdivision, no house going up in your view, no headlights where there used to be stars. The privacy you buy here is the kind that can't be taken away later. Then there's the river. Roughly 2,500 feet of Middle Fork River frontage runs through this place the same storied water that draws people to Audra State Park from all over the state. Stand in it with a fly rod in the cool of an April morning. Let the kids find their own swimming hole. Sit on the bank in October while the hardwoods come down around you in color and the only sound is water over rock. Twenty-five hundred feet of it, and it's yours. Head back from the river and the land climbs into classic Appalachian hardwood ridge secluded, sloping timber with real elevation change and mountain views that open up as you gain the bench. It's the kind of country that hides you from the world in about four hundred yards. Timber, hunting, hiking, a cabin site tucked where nobody will ever find it unless you invite them, the ground gives you options, and 183 acres gives you room to change your mind. And you don't have to earn it with a four-wheel-drive and a prayer. Access is off a paved county road, so you can be at the gate in a car, in February, with groceries in the back. Electric is nearby and city water is nearby, which makes a future cabin or home a real conversation rather than a someday. What you get in the bargain is a full state park at your doorstep approximately 0.3 miles to the entrance. Audra State Park's Alum Cave Trail runs the boulder-strewn riverbank with some of the prettiest views of the Middle Fork anywhere; the Rock Cliff Trail offers another, and the park adds camping, swimming, fishing (including trout on the Middle Fork), boating, biking, and geocaching. Company can camp a few minutes away while you're on your own ground. Guests have somewhere to go. And the park's acreage buffering your boundary is doing quiet work for you every single day you own this place. If you've been searching for West Virginia acreage, Barbour County land, wooded mountain property, Middle Fork River frontage, riverfront land near Audra State Park, or recreational land near Belington, this is the rare one where the river, the access, the utilities, the timber, and a state park boundary all show up on the same deed. Land bordered by protected public land on multiple sides, with 2,500 feet of river, doesn't come back around. Come check it out.
