VIEW OF NEW CREEK
MTN FROM HIGH POINT ON LOT 28
Property
Description:
Lot 28 might be
considered to be the very nicest lot within The Preserve, if views,
privacy and easy building site are important to you. Enter the property
on a "pipestem" driveway to keep the driveway level and private.
800' into Lot 28 brings you to the high point (photo above), where you
have a great view to the east of New Creek Mountain and
guaranteed views of the sunrises. Build here for the best view. Well
has already been drilled and is near this point.
Driveway continues (straight ahead in photo above) another 400' down a
slight hill, to the alternate building site and current campsite (photo
below). This level site sits atop a rocky bluff, near to a stream
below in the nature preserve.
From Lot 28 you can easily access five different hiking trails within
The Preserve, taking you past numerous waterfalls, meadows, old
homestead ruins, a cemetery and other preserved features of our
Conservancy Areas. Lot 28 provides you with a spectacular setting and
complete privacy, with no other homes visible anywhere during any
season. This property offers far more than most lots twice the size,
PLUS, your own nature preserve, where you can walk all day on your own
land, where hunting is absolutely forbidden. I own a lot in The
Preserve, as well.

CAMPSITE

DRIVEWAY
The
Preserve at New Creek Lake
is a 1000 acre nature preserve community with 43 private home sites
laid
out on about 500 acres, each adjoining the commonly owned Conservancy
Area
(nature preserve), consisting of the remaining 500 acres. The Preserve
is a gated community adjacent to publicly owned New
Creek Lake. There are many miles of marked
hiking trails throughout the property. Within the Conservancy Area,
there are old forgotten ruins of early homesteads, at least one old
cemetery
(and another next to the lake), miles of sparkling clean streams with
numerous
waterfalls, soaring sandstone cliffs and more wildlife than you've ever
seen in one place. There are also numerous picnic
tables left in convenient locations so that you can sit and relax
along
your explorations. Expect to see black bears, multiple flocks of as
many
as 35 wild turkeys foraging in the woods, flying squirrels, white-tailed
deer, grouse, foxes and even an occasional coyote might bet
spotted. You
may be lucky enough to hear the coyotes howling together higher on the
mountain. There is NO HUNTING permitted at The
Preserve
at any time. This is meticulously enforced at all times by the
residents. You will not find anyplace
that matches The Preserve in it's natural qualities and the values
placed
on those qualities. When you buy property within The Preserve, you
become
part of something much bigger... a community dedicated to the
conservation,
enjoyment, respect and care of the land and it's wildlife. Make certain
that when you plan to visit The Preserve, that you allow time for the
visit
to include not just the property you look to purchase, but also the
entire
Preserve, for which each lot owner becomes a steward. Nearby
energy-producing windmills,
not generally visible from here, add an additional flair of "greenness"
to The Preserve.

Please
note, this property is NOT waterfront or water view. The entrance to
The
Preserve travels most of the way around adjacent New Creek Lake, but
the

The
Preserve subscribes to the mission of the International
Dark Sky Association in keeping our part of the West Virginia
nighttime
sky as dark as possible in order to enjoy the nighttime sky as it was
meant
to be enjoyed. If you'd like to enjoy that sky even more, check out Distant
Suns 6, a free home planetarium on your computer.
