 Is there really good views?
Yes. You actually have a choice of good sunrise views, awesome sunset views while overlooking a plush 20 acre green valley or pristine forest views. Some lots have it all, sunrise views, sunset views and incredible night views of Snowshoe Mountain Ski Resort.

How steep are the roads?
This is a very important question when you're looking at mountain property. You need to be able to access your property year round. We have gently sloping roads throughout the farm and have taken extra measures to ensure this.

-
What is the quality of the roads at Slatyfork Farm?
Another great question. Our quality gravel roads will last for many years and require minimum upkeep. We have proper drainage, compaction, grading and graveling. We have roads from the original development section that are still in great shape fifteen years later with normal upkeep. You can safely access your property year round with some proper snow removal during our wonderful snow season.

-
Are the roads kept clean during the snow season?
Yes. Our Home Owner's Association works well at keeping our roads cleared during even some of the largest snow falls our farm is blessed to receive.

-
Will we get snowed in at Slatyfork Farm?
Only if you want to be. With quality roads and an active Home Owner's Association to clear roads, access is not a problem. We have a great amount of natural snow in the winter season which allows for some of the best snowsports in the Eastern United States. For this exact reason, our highways are kept cleared and as safe as possible by state road crews to ensure passage to our major local ski resort, which is within minutes to our farm. We take our snow seriously and work to ensure access to our homesites so that all can enjoy the benefits of our beautiful white winters.

 How steep is the property?
Slatyfork Farm features two mountain sides, a great wooded forest area and an incredible green valley centerpiece. This is not steep unusable mountain property. Most of the property is easy to walk on and there are plenty of flat areas. There is very little unusable land on the entire farm.

What about preparing our site for building?
You have underground utilities (phone & electric) to your lot line. Each site on our farm is guaranteed to perk. We will also be glad to assist you in site planning and in the selection of a qualified builder.

What other features does Slatyfork Farm offer?
At the front of the farm, along Highway 219, is a commercial area. It has a new beautiful 3500 Sq. Ft. stone and wood building to house retail and office space. We also have a 20 (+/-) acre green valley centerpiece. It has two ponds, a fenced in pasture and is currently the site of an old Scottish-style primitive golf course. We even have an old abandoned CSX railroad line now owned by the West Virginia Trail Authority that runs through our farm. It provides for a good hiking, biking, and cross-country skiing trail.

How much are the annual dues at Slatyfork Farm?
Slatyfork Farm is a private community with some upkeep expenses. Your dues will be approximately $400.00 yearly. Dues are set by the Home Owner's Association.

-
Is there a nice selection of lots?
Yes. There is a good selection of homesites available. We have nine lots on the west mountainside area that are special "held back" lots from the original development areas in the 1990's. We also have ten sunset lots available in Stone Ridge, our new community on the east mountainside area of the farm. Soon we will have about thirteen private wooded homesites available in our beautiful forest area at the back of the farm. Every single homesite is great in its own way and there are plenty left to see in every price range. See Lots & Pricing for more.

-
Are there covenants and restrictions on owning a homesite and building a home?
Yes. We do have modest protective restrictions designed to protect the value of your property. We think you will find them common sense based and very user friendly.

Are we out in the middle of nowhere?
We live in nature. We live in a peaceful mountain paradise. A great country life. At the same time we are within minutes to the entrance to Snowshoe Mountain Resort. We benefit from the amenities of one of the finest four-season mountain resorts in the Eastern United States. Our farm is about 45 miles South of Elkins, a business hub in this area of West Virginia. We are about 60 miles North of Lewisburg and US 64, a major interstate highway. The Greenbrier Airport is in Lewisburg. U.S. Airways and Delta offer daily service to connections across the country. The best of nature without being in the boondocks.
