    What's special

    Spacious four-bedroom two-bathroom residenceNew double-hung windowsNew solid core doorsCustom-made wormy chestnut cabinetry
    For the first time in over six decades, a truly unique opportunity has become available in the heart of Upshur County. Welcome to "Hidden View Farm," a bespoke property located at 105 Helmsdale Road in the quiet setting of French Creek, offering a rare blend of residential, agriculture, and recreation. Step inside the recently remodeled +/- 2,700-square-foot home, where modern updates meet timeless tradition. This spacious four-bedroom, two-bathroom residence offers flexibility for various living arrangements, including multigenerational living with its two distinct rooms. The home is move-in ready, featuring renovations performed by local Amish craftsmen. The heart of the home, the kitchen, boasts custom-made wormy chestnut cabinetry, with the wood salvaged from a barn that was originally on site, a testament to the quality and character found throughout. Every detail has been considered, from the weight and feel of the new solid core doors to the efficiency of a brand-new HVAC system with central air and new double-hung windows. In addition to the main living area, an upper level offers 650 additional square feet of finished storage, providing flexibility for children and hobbies. Enjoy the added and significant benefit of free natural gas which also powers a Generac generator, greatly reducing your utility costs and providing peace of mind. The property's acreage offers a perfect mix of open pasture and wooded land. The pastures are ideal for rotational grazing, making this an excellent choice for those with livestock or aspirations of small-scale farming. The gardens include mature blueberry bushes, as well as apple and pear trees, ready for you to enjoy. For the outdoor enthusiast, the wooded areas provide a natural habitat for abundant local wildlife, including deer and turkey, making it a prime location for hunting or observation. This land has been a cherished hunting ground for four generations of the current owners. Several outbuildings, built with lumber milled on-site, offer ample storage for equipment, tools, and toys. The property's vintage sawmill presents a unique opportunity for future craftsmen. Accessed by a well-maintained county road, this rural retreat offers privacy without sacrificing convenience. The charming town of Buckhannon is just miles away, providing easy access to shopping, dining, and healthcare. Weston is also nearby, offering additional amenities and access to major travel routes. This is more than a home; it's an opportunity to become the next stewards of a piece of West Virginia heritage. Whether you envision it as a home, a working farm, or a recreational haven, Hidden View Farm is ready for its next chapter.
