About this home
*Check out our video footage of the amazing Capon River! See attachments!*
A Riverfront Story Waiting for Its Next Chapter - Imagine waking up to the sound of the Capon River flowing just steps from your door. Sunlight filters through the trees as you sip your coffee on the porch, knowing that in a few hours you could be kayaking, fishing, or swimming from your very own stretch of riverbank. With approximately 2,000 feet of private frontage, this property isn’t just a house—it’s an experience. This cozy 2BD/1BA river home sits quietly on 7.12AC (includes 0.12AC parcel, see attached survey) in West Virginia’s oldest county, offering privacy and a slower pace of life while still keeping you connected to nearby small towns. Built in the 1950s and fully renovated in 2023, it holds onto its original charm but has been thoughtfully updated so you can move in and enjoy right away. Step inside and you’ll find warm, durable LVP flooring throughout and a bathroom that feels fresh and modern with tiled floors and an updated vanity. The kitchen is completely new—quartz countertops, all-new appliances, and cabinets that invite you to cook meals and share stories with friends and family. A stacked washer and dryer make everyday living easy. Behind the scenes, all the major systems have been taken care of: brand-new HVAC, new well and septic (2023), tankless hot water heater, plus updated plumbing, electrical, and insulation. The metal roof and Hardy siding give the home extra strength and longevity, while the attached one-car garage can stay as is or be transformed into more living space. When it’s time to venture out, you’re just a peaceful back road away from Capon Bridge, or a short two-lane highway drive to Wardensville. Both towns are brimming with small-town charm—farmers markets, locally owned shops, and new restaurants where everyone knows your name.
And for those who like a touch of whimsy, this property comes with a unique opportunity: a fully restored 1972 Volkswagen Westfalia camper van, available separately for $40,000. With its pop-up top and retro style, it’s easy to picture it parked by the river—whether as a fun guest space, a weekend escape, or just a nostalgic nod to simpler times. This isn’t just a property. It’s a river story waiting to be lived. (Tax record is incorrect on square footage.)
