Foster's Preserve
Foster's Preserve A majestic 89-acre +/- property nestled on the Greenbrier River. This river escape contains fields and forests that span from the river bottom to the mountain top. Any outdoor enthusiast will immediately recognize the endless possibilities for outdoor recreation on this property and on the nearby public lands. Hiking, hunting, foraging, fishing, floating, nature watching, star gazing, or simply finding your peace are within reach by simply stepping off the cabin porch.
The log cabin provides a rustic shelter for this off-the-grid property. The cabin consists of a wraparound covered porch with an entry to a sitting room with access to a sleeping loft and a modest kitchen. The cabin is off-grid but is plumbed to accept water from a gravity-fed spring and the outdoor shower is fed via rain collection.

If more modern comforts are desired there are multiple homesites around the property and electric service nearby. From Edray Road there is access to the top of the property with an open field featuring picturesque mountain views that could serve as a home site, cropland, food plot, or garden area. A shared access road connects to the bottom field where the cabin sits and borders nearly 400 yards of the Greenbrier River Trail. This open field also provides the same opportunity for retreat living, building, subdividing, or growing crops and is located well out of the flood plain while being just steps away from the river.
The name "Foster's Preserve" was inspired by a great fox hound, Foster, wandering and hunting through this property. As you traverse within the boundaries you will find multiple stories of hardwood and coniferous forest, quintessential old-growth West Virginian rhododendron thickets, and multiple mountain springs all cascading down to the mighty Greenbrier River. Various interweaving trail systems join together to make this property quite simple to navigate from ridge to river bottom.
This property is around 15 miles from Rt. 219, 15 minutes to Cass, and just 25 minutes to Marlinton and Snowshoe Mountain Resort. Modern amenities are just a few minutes' drive but feel worlds away at Foster's Preserve. Nature's mountain playground awaits!
